I’d agree that this is not at Ophelia level but some of the gusts are still quite extreme. Can cause damage nonetheless, as evidenced by the number of houses without power now.

The damage to trees and structures from Ophelia can cater plenty of incidents tonight, tree down across the road after blown down in Kilmeaden, Waterford. Wind is very whippy is the best way to explain it in Waterford City.

Gaoth Laidir

Gust 77 knots at Roches Point at 2300

Where the UK Met have the center of the low at 1am tonight:



Strongest of the winds should only last a couple of hours as the low pushes rapidly north.

Going by the above, does it look like the west will get off lightly?

Winds still coming from the east here in Firhouse Dublin 24, so the really strong ones from the SW not yet arrived...... raining a bit but still quite warm......

I'm only down the road from you in Oldbawn. I can hear the wind down the chimney occasionally. Nothing much yet. Mountins usually shelter us from n the good stuff!

And the greatly qualified one, who brings weather to the common man, would have stations across the south of the country gusting 150-180km now.

He won't have egg on his face tomorrow, it'll be a large omlette.

Oh I love low humming, medium humming, all humming..

I once knew a woman, but then she died.

How the power is still on here I don’t know!

Power gone all over Cork
I'd say this will take quite a while to sort tomorrow

Same here near Mallow. I think Ellen will give up now.

Seems to have quietened down enough here for the hedgehogs to venture out into the open

The worst of it seems to have passed here near Kinsale now unless there’s a third wave. Just a regular windy and rainy night now.
