    Cork city centre. Went from zero to a gale in the space of a minute. You could actually hear the sound of the wind approaching from the distance. Very ominous.

    Same here very quick turn around.

    "it's overkill" "it was supposed to be here at 9"

    Hate to say I told you so. Some wind that.

    Where are you based? This is a serious storm, at least for us on the south Cork coast. Not quite Ophelia yet but bad enough!

    So far for us here on the coast near Kinsale, it isn’t as bad as Ophelia. But this is a serious storm.

    I’m also somewhere near Kinsale. Definitely not as bad as Ophelia so far but Ophelia winds were less gusty and more sustained.

    Ophelia wasn’t too bad in Cork. Darwin much worse.

    That was pretty sweet. Watching it on flight radar and opening my window and hearing it as it passed over the Wilton area to land.

    You have years of enjoyment ahead of you.

    Thankfully this is a weather thread. Your post could mean something totally different if said elsewhere :D

    Noticeable increase in Kildare too

    He has a long one that funnels wind.. I can gauge a lot from noise/activity there. The pressure is building from a westerly source here.

    Or should I say the pressure is building in his back passage but pressure in general is falling in Laois, naturally :)

    All hell just broke loose on Cork coast south of the city in the last 10 mins. Out of absolutely nowhere.

    Imagine if we had some sort of warning system :P
    Sorry, stay safe, sounds wild down there.

    Some strong gusts starting to hit our house on the side of Mt Leinster. Really ramping up in the last 10 minutes. Doors and windows rattling. Long night ahead.
