All these reports and this is only the start of this.
Another 9 hours of storm Imogen to go.:eek:

Meteorite58

Gusting over 70 kph here near Tralee ( I see Fenit recent gust 99.7 kph )

Bar 973.4 kph Falling Rapidly

Judging purely by the noise outside, this is more than a Yellow warning event here in West Clare. Damaging gusts for the past hour.

Picking up again here in south west Laois going by my chimney metre..

The showers are horizontal here in West Limerick with strong gusts.

In the showers its as bad as any of the previous wind events. The showers are heavy too.

If I get a chance a little later after a mug of coffee I'll pop out with the handheld anemometer for some measurements. Ok, they won't be accurate or scientific but will give an indication of windspeed at almost ground level.

Not too bad driving around, no debris noted on the roads as yet. No reports of trees down either but I wouldn't expect to hear of any until people venture out in the morning.

Seems fairly strong alright, should be grand though. Hope Graces7 is doing ok!

Good night from a rare quiet and calm night in Mayo.

Yeah, hope so.

No doubt she'll be well wrapped up for herself.

Reports from mid-Kerry are not too bad. Gusty with the showers. Also reports of electricity failure. I suspect some of these are lightning related.

Just had Jan O'Sullivan blow at the window, she's still gawking in. Could have been worse though, at least it wasn't Michael Noonan.

There could be a lot of election posters relocated overnight! Nasty if one decides to get up close and personal with your windscreen while travelling. ....

Winds picking up in Castlebar, getting 70 km/hr gusts now, weakest storm of the year wind wise, far worse last night, but it's been one of the wettest so far.

Some very strong gusts here on Kenmare bay at 23.30, picking up again now. And no, I'm not venturing down the garden to tell you what the sea is doing!

Power gone here in Fenit. Absolutely terrifying sound to the wind

Limerick city, some very heavy rain passed through just there, wind whipping it against my building, sounds bad out there, attic room with southwest facing skylight window.

Strong winds and heavy butts of rain/hail, nothing worse than yesterday yet.

Pretty terrifying now in Tipp to be honest - Fethard area, howling gales and lashing wind just getting going in earnest now!!!

Weather warning is til noon but I imagine it will start easing off before that depending where you are located.
