Absolutely, same here (I'm about 10 KM SW of Portlaoise). Wind has been picking up steadily since late afternoon. The current pressure charts on xcweather show the isobars fairly tightly packed on the southern flank of the low as it tracks north eastwards.

Should slowly ease in Dublin now. Impressive (for here) gusts around the 2pm-3pm mark in the North Wall with driving rain at the time. House didn't lose any appendages. My hastily created wheelie bin fort held. So all good.

Yep noticed that too (I'm beside Liffey valley).

I've left my window on vent and lovely hearing the wind hitting it every now and again

Feeling the South westerlies in Wicklow now. My location is most exposed to that direction so it seems worse than the stronger gusts from earlier. Glad to see the back of this storm for sure.

Eased in St Tipperary now.Rain and wind was pretty rough during the mid morning and afternoon.Lots of debris on the roads and drains blocked with some local flooding on roads.Nasty for a while.

A couple of big gusts here in south Dublin last 10 minutes. Felt like the strongest of the day. Shook the walls of the apartment anyway.

Dazler97 · 27-09-2023 8:09pm

Winds picking up slowing for me again and will to around 70mk/h between now and 2am as that tracks into Scotland, look at all those power cuts in the east and south ,is anyone on here been effected today ?

Bumpstop · 27-09-2023 8:14pm

strongest winds I noticed just now, 42MPH gusts steady thirtyish, no rain, dark clouds.

windows rattling, house noises.

I think the pressure has bottomed out at 989, yup climbing now.

15 degrees temp.

I was out a bit earlier, no debris on the roads or trees down in my area.

North Co Dub.

Wind picked up here again at about 7pm and is still going strong now at 8.30. I heard a loud bang and went outside but couldn't see what it was, hoping the neighbours are ok! Starting to lash rain again as well.....feels like it's not stopped all day.

Aww wish I was still living in firhouse miss the place so much , I'd say the mountains didn't really help with the gusts

North Kildare and it’s some of the windiest all day. Electricity browned out about ten minutes ago but thankfully recovered. Have absolutely everything charging now, torches have been checked and the heat is on to bring the temp up a bit just in case (we’ve no heat without electricity). Our local electricity can be a bit random generally never mind with a bit of wind. And we’re not a town line so it usually takes hours at least to fix

pureza · 27-09-2023 8:52pm

My roads blocked with large trees down

It's a very busy road

Had no electricity in my area for almost 8 hours. Just restored half an hour ago. Near Thurles. Having said that it was just a standard windy here in Mid Tipp. Nothing to write home about. The last big storm in this area was Darwin 9 year ago

antodeco · 27-09-2023 9:04pm

Here in west Dublin, definitely seems.loke an intensity of wind and gusts. Stepped out onto my balcony and was being absolutely battered by the wind. Can hear it pounding at the windows

PixelTrawler · 27-09-2023 9:11pm

Yip in D15, some wild gusts now.

Mech1 · 27-09-2023 9:21pm

Seadin · 27-09-2023 10:22pm

Lost power at 11.30 today and got it back at 19.00. Rural area North Cork. There were strong gusts all day.

igCorcaigh · 27-09-2023 10:53pm

Seems to be a lot of trees down. It's an early storm, so trees in full leaf.

There are leaves and tree branches scattered all over the city.

Hippodrome Song Owl · 27-09-2023 10:55pm

Very windy the past couple of hours in Celbridge. Lights flickering too.

pureza · 27-09-2023 11:21pm

My homeplace, south east Laois. Power gone from 1-4pm.

Was lucky in Waterford/Tramore the rain held off for taking pictures. Gusts sometimes made it hard to stand on the more open area's but it was not that bad after 2pm. There was some massive waves considering it was not a 4.3m tide. If it was those waves would have been unreal! Tramore, Tramore pier, Newtown cove and the last was Tramore after 6pm. Lot of rocks and debris thrown onto the road. I don't know why the prom was not closed, seen it closed for far less storms
