    Power cut twice during the night in South Kilkenny. Which is funny because storm Ellen didn't effect our power at all.

    Currently in Wexford and quite strong gusts. Feels worse than last night for sure.

    Lunch al fresco in Meath before the rain rolls in. Warm and breezy.

    Met Eireann forecasting average winds of 50kph for the next 6 to 7 hours for my part of Wicklow. Don't know if all of my trees can withstand the battering they're getting at the moment for that long!

    Pretty miserable to your south

    Yeah, seem to be missing out on those bands of rain here. Nothing but spits all day, which sums up this entire summer so far. Summer 2020 shall be known as the 'Summer of spits' by me.

    Looks a total mess given the crap coverage from Shannon radar.

    It was windy enough last night, but it seems we have escaped the heaviest of the rain. Is that place in Kerry that got 86mm high up? Also that must exceed the total that occurred down there in late August of 1986. I was fairly young back then but i have memories of it being a very wet Summer overall.

    I have given up with the plants, I put all the pots back out after Ellen and now everything is battered, afraid to look out the back window at the sole surviving sunflower.

    Yes its truly miserable
    Its not getting any sunny pleasant days later on to compensate that makes it more hard to take.

    Covid meant no 2 week sun holiday, its starting to get to me now, thought i was okay with it but the brutal summer has not helped in any way.

    Utterly miserable today (again)

    People may say this wasn't a big event in terms of wind but several large urban centres have been moved appreciably Eastwards. Worrying times.

    It's wild around Carlow. Branches and debris all over the places. Passed a jcb with a grabber on the front.

    Which ones have moved? The cities look like they're in the right place.

    Clearance visible to the south/south west. They were some very strong gusts in the last hour. Anything weakened by Ellen will be down.
