Storm Eunice - Friday 18th February - Wind & Snow Potential

Gust of 172kmh at Fastnet lighthouse

Just starting an outdoor job and it's completely calm - Dublin. No sign yet half way through the orange warning, beyond a wet night. So far Dudley was much worse, as I encountered a couple of trees down and wires down also. Not sure what to expect now.

Quickly picking up in west Mayo.

Here we go.

Here on exposed part of south coast near Kinsale. We have wind even on “calm” days. It was relatively quiet for the last couple of hours but in the last 20 mins or so, the wind has gone into overdrive here. Quite something. Can’t remember it being this bad for a long time. Feels like house is going to take off.

was just thinking of yourselves and the sherkin island'ers etc - this sort of wrap around is terrible for islands.

same in kilkenny, give it 1-2 hours

Wind was blustery with some gusts that shunted the car at 6.00am died back now and not a bad day here in Waterford at the moment. Just going through the pictures from Tramore, some good waves after the high tide and into the surge

Agree completely. Red warning ends in 15 mins and yet main storm just starting. My office advised no one to come in before 9.30am, i.e. don't start commute until after 8am. Clearly peak here will be 8am to 10am.

Starting in limerick now, some very strong gusts.

Where are you nacho again?

Lights flickering in cork city, rarely happens.

Decent snow here again. First since 5am ish

Fair lively here in South clare at the moment

Quite blustery in North Kildare during the night, lots of alarms going off, roof creaking.

Eerily quiet and still this morning getting up and heading to work and it's similarly eerily quiet now in Castleknock.

I'll probably know once it's hit home as we are almost guaranteed to lose power to the whole area during very windy days!
