Storm Debi : Mon 13th Nov 2023

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.

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.

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

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

Same in athenry. Fence panels everywhere

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

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.

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

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.

Only the white stuff gets them looting!

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

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

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.

Powers gone here in Meath.

What part you in?

Bit of a non-event in South Dublin so far. Seems to be tracking further north

Good lad- thanks for forecasting the whole county in your post

Apart from the two people who posted after you with a different experience from the same county.

If you're going to make a post like that say what area your in rather than a dumb post concerning a large county.

Very strong gust of wind here at the moment south Cavan lots power outages

Windy here in Mullingar. Not anything serious. Seems to have subsided.

Powercheck nicely shows up the path of this:

Looking at the radar, looks like there's a right belt of wind and rain coming across the midlands towards Dublin, south of the centre of the low.

Not sure it justified Orange in Cork anyway. Yellow was probably fine (before it got upgraded)

In Dundalk here and it’s been extremely gusty for last hour I’ve been awake. In the last 5 mins it’s calming down very slightly. All sorts of noises earlier I couldn’t make out what was moving around out there. One piece of very heavy garden furniture has moved right off deck, never happened before. This must have bought down a lot of trees.
