Lights are flickering here in dunlaoghaire. Wouldn't mind a bit of thunder and lightning but hopefully the power doesn't go.

Winds have increased dramatically in Lucan /Clondalkin. Some severe prolonged gusts. Heavy rain. Just back at house and it was tricky enough driving as the roads are very wet and there is some debris scattered on the roads.

Dun Laoighre is getting hammered and I'm on the foothills of the mountains near Glencullen, facing north, and its not too bad out at all. Weather station reporting <10kmh.

Noticed a flicker here too.

Here, the wind, rather than the usual gusts and lulls, is just strong and pounding the front of the house.

12.0mm of rain so far.

Let's get rid of this October/November sh*t. This is February and we should be getting February weather.

Yeah, you need weather control, just looking up the extension here, can you stay on hold another fifty years?

No flickering lights, but was standing inside the sitting room door with one hand on the door handle but watching the tv and all of a sudden, my hair blew up in the air lol! Went and checked that every window was sealed shut fully (they were). Don't know whether it was a gush of wind between the side of the front door, through the side of the sitting room door and up the chimney or what, but I've never experienced a gust of wind in this house before, with nothing opened lol. Maybe it was a ghost.

Lovely sat image. http://www.sat24.com/?ir=true Unusal to see such a well developed storm so far south...usually looking at that type of image with centre off the north of Scotland.

Is the current storm due to last throughout the night ? I'm in Dublin. Lights flickered just now. I see high tide is due at 3am here.

Gone nearly unwatchable with the shaking from the wind especially when it turns toward the bay

Had a few flickers here over the past couple of hours and the lights completely went out for about 3 seconds and then came back on. Hoping we don't lose electricity.
