Good, send it up here and I'll be happy.

As will I !

How long before this moves through?
Neighbour has lots of big old lopsided conifers that always make me nervous
Darwin brought down a big one but it fell the other way luckily
Asked him at the time would he consider topping them .....

On a hill in Galway city, never experienced gusts like it. House is shaking. Ophelia was a light breeze compared to this. Stay safe everyone.

Was thinking the same. Worse than Ophelia

Very gusty in Dublin City Centre

Off to school now so my cork perspective will go silent. Very strong gusts here still that I haven’t seen since Ophelia! Leaves and branches everywhere. Still can’t believe it’s yellow but if that’s what the readings say that’s what they say.

judging by reports west should really have been a red warning, nothing more than you usually windy day in dublin so far but they have said it would be this morning when we get high winds

Oneiric 3

So far, failing to reach, not mind surpass, mean and gust speeds experienced during that storm that occurred in June here at least.

Winds much stronger here right now than we got with Ophelia (about 10k West of Galway city). Still have power so far.

Thanks for that. We are safe so far. But that could easily change. Wonderful service we have..

Galway is getting it way worse than Ophelia. High winds and blue skies is really cool all the same.

Nothing more than your usual windy day, expecting higher gusts later though.

SleetAndSnow

Power outage in Bishopstown. 1.5k people without power, hm near my school..

Surprised this was not a red warning. Trees coming down everywhere by the sounds of it.

Hopefully they don't regret that.

'Worst' should be over by noon, but likely to remain gusty enough throughout the day.

We’re getting some severe gusts near Limerick city.

It is worse than your usual windy day, but nothing too bad

Mayo missed out on Ophelia so I have no comparisons ... this is my first major storm out here I think. Brian was nothing compared to this

Do any of you remember that we had Storm Hector last June?

Doctors room ghost

Surely it warrants red warning in West.no power.sh1t blowing everywhere.no schools I’m going to presume

Mr_A

Just had to go after the neighbours bins in Renmore in Galway City. A fair bit of wrastlin to get them back into shelter. Not the finest judgement to have them out front in this

spookwoman

Waterford max gust so far 64.8km jesus reading here west getting hammered. Stay safe guys

Oneiric 3

Top gust of 72 knots in Mace Hd on 8am reports. Averaging 35 to 45 knots over the rest of the country.

Sorry, that should read 75 knots in Mace Hd.
