Storm Debi : Mon 13th Nov 2023

ascophyllum · 13-11-2023 7:18am

Highest gust at 6am is 113 in Knock in Mayo which is only yellow warning. Some of the models last night did show it pulling north a bit but it was prob too late at that point to change the warnings

Winds have died down a lot in SW Galway, but Debi woke me right around 4. Hit like a truck, and a good bit of damage outside from what I can see with the torch. House seems ok, but a lot of debris was flying around and definitely the shed is no more! A lot worse here than when Ophelia hit us for sure.

The hook pointing at athlone at 5am this morning

Thankfully wasn't as bad as expected in West Clare,1 to 3 am was high point here id say.looks like the worst of it was inland.

Good that people were well warned of this .it could have gone either way,people giving out cause it wasn't as bad as forecast in their area would want a good fong in the hole.ireland is tiny,imagine trying to help people by forecasting the track of a storm and plebs waiting to slate you cause you might be out by a few counties.

I'd say this was the worst wind we had here since the Christmas storm back in the late 90s. A somewhat unique storm given how little advanced notice there was of it( despite the advances in technology), and how quickly it passed through in the end .

Do you not think other people are? Why bother posting if it has nothing to do with you.

Tonnes of fence panels obliterated in our estate in Oranmore, Galway. Wasn't woken by the whole thing though surprisingly. Quiet now.

RabbleRouser2k · 13-11-2023 7:29am

Rain and wind still staying strong. Haven't eased off. Sitting here listening to the wind and rain.

teddybones · 13-11-2023 7:33am

It’s still rough in north east Mayo. Pretty violent. It looks from the satellite image posted earlier that we live just at the tip of where the little hook was. Anyway I won’t forget this one for it’s sudden impact. Incredible. Lashing now and sideways at that.

Same in athenry. Fence panels everywhere

Doctors room ghost · 13-11-2023 7:35am

Hopefully there isn’t too much damage done from it. It’s calming a good bit now in east Galway. 4:30 to 5:30 am was fierce and it was sudden landing. A lot of squally rain got with it.

whatever leaves were left are gone now I’d say

Rikand · 13-11-2023 7:35am

Wind not as gusty in athlone now but the rain is still tipping down out there

I hope Lidl is ok!

.Donegal. · 13-11-2023 7:37am

Completely calm with me and raining but wind was never forecast to be anything severe for here. Nothing extraordinary on the main met stations regarding gusts so far but it’s poor coverage as well all know and glancing over this thread tells a different story.

My bins tried to escape out the side gate and it has been pulled off the wall.

GHendrix · 13-11-2023 7:41am

Nothing to see in Meath really. 30 mins of fairly strong wind and settled down now.

PmMeUrDogs · 13-11-2023 7:43am

Seems calm now in my part of Dublin, anyone more intelligent than me about this stuff about this stuff think it's done and dusted now or should we expect more?

gazzer · 13-11-2023 7:45am

After about an hour of calmness from the earlier wind it has really picked up here in Cavan. Never heard anything like it in all the years I'm living here.

con747 · 13-11-2023 7:47am

Picking up a few miles outside of Kinnegad. Worse than earlier.

Only the white stuff gets them looting!

Madd002 · 13-11-2023 7:50am

Please Debi, pick up all my leaves in garden and blow them away so I don't have to do at the weekend.

JanuarySnowstor · 13-11-2023 7:51am

Early stages but looks like the initial Red for Western counties was spot on and the extension of the red to the East was unnecessary. The UKMO HD was ott in its projections and Arome looked about spot on

I’m bothered by the unnecessary hysteria that will paralyse the capital for half a day. Public transport will be disrupted for a good number of hours

Gallant_JJ · 13-11-2023 8:02am

In Cavan, windy this past 90mins or so, now a small pocket of extreme gusts.

Wouldn't be so sure just yet. It's kicked into life in Bray in the last 20 minutes. Very strong gusts in the last while. Had been calm enough until then, well I say calm but the usual winter storm but it's definitely picked up now in the last while

I’m not so sure about that. I’m in North Louth and I’ve never heard wind/rain like we’re experiencing now. Rain woke me at 4.21 and the wind has really picked up in the last hour.
