This is chiefly to the credit of the meteorological experts who are providing excellent resources regularly throughout the course of the storm.

So thanks to everyone involved, particularly those who provide superb summaries of the current state of the storm.

Yip, gonna have to move this out of the bar and into the lounge.

Winds really strong here in Waterford City. I love windstorms and this one is really rocking - does anyone know if it will get worse down this neck of the woods as the night goes on?

Its shifted up a gear massively in Kinsale in the last 30 minutes, no rainfall but extremely strong winds, I can't believe I left Galway for a storm reprieve.
