Loving the posts about what's going on where but the problem is if you don't actually say "where" you are then I and any others with only a smart phones to follow the craic on don't have a clue where "here" is. Happy bording!!!! Xxx

The weather that's coming into Dublin. . Is there thunder and lightning due? Or just severe wind?

Whereabouts? Lights still on here in Galway City. We didn't lose it last time so hopefully not this time either. If that happens I'm definitely going to the pub.

Here in Waterford at the moment - it doesn't seem so bad where I am. Still though, I reckon this storm is going to be a smasher.

You ended up in Cavan? Jaysus...storm is worse than I thought...

Id recommend putting your phones on charge while you still have power. There will be a lot of outages with this one.

Just now it is showing about 200 customers with out power in three areas including Ennis Co.Clare. I expect the situation to worsen dramatically in the next few hours.

We had a lovely morning here, near Gorey and 400' up on a hill, Wexford, blue skies and sunshine. High cloud first noticed about 1.30 and then the day got steadily dull. Rain, followed quickly by gentle wind, arrived as light went. Breezy by 5.00 and now blowing quite fiercely. Cars moved away from house.

When the outdoor Christmas lights were taken out of the box this storm and previous ones were already being discussed........... so our big blue icicle lights are now our new indoor lights...............

Harps

Max gust of 56kts on met.is so far, max sustained is force 9 at Roche's Point. Nothing too severe so far though the actual storm is still out at sea, current winds are only associated with the front so expect it to get a lot worse yet

SeaFields

And now there is nothing but calm....

Possible sting jet in the making... You can clearly see the scorpio tail in my watervapor image.

They will now. The next phase of increase will be the actual storm. Prepare for a lot of 'I've never heard a wind like this before' as the mood changes later to concern and fear for many.

Just got struck by a large branch on the way home from Longford town. There's fallen debris around the Ballinalee-Aughnacliff area so take care

http://earth.nullschool.net/ is showing sustained hurricane force winds west of valentia Island. It is quoting 124 km/h in one spot over the ocean.

I can appreciate that, but I have mine in the description. Ask feedback to allow location just for this purpose. The forum is resource intensive with charts that you can't see, pictures you can't see or at least in context.

Ask feedback if they can allow.
