    Crossing the Mayor Street Bridge at the docklands with a buggy about half hour ago I was stopped dead by a good lengthy gust of wind. Couldn't move. Long before the main event kicks in. Lots of energy available for sure.

    @Shauns_aviation on Twitter is a good account for see flights rerouting and landing elsewhere due to winds. Good few happened already, regional planes. Considering it hasn’t hit Dublin yet could be messy later.

    Basically 2 parishes playing against each other . It's not nearly as big outside the 2 parish as you believe it to be, honestly.

    This may sound weird but what I notice about this storm already is that it sounds much louder than the gusts I am actually feeling on the ground. It's like there is very high wind about 100m up but it has yet to hit the ground level. It does sound angry up there. There is very much an ebb and flow to it too. It can be windy and wet one minute and then relatively calm/dry soon after. I think we are in for an interesting afternoon.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Jeez it's getting stormy already. I usually like a good storm, but I have to admit I am a bit concerned about this one

    Yes and it's their choice to travel, or not, today.

    Agree nacho. It’s a nasty old day here in north Clare already. Not seriously stormy but we’re 6-8 hours if the peak here so it’s bit very reassuring.

    I think there is a danger people wont hear about the warnings as its the weekend and media dont seem to be reporting much about it. Due to the past people often ignore the warnings aswell which is dangerous.

    I always find the weather thread on boards fairly accurate - I learn more here about weather events than met eireann or the media. If I wasnt on here though I wouldnt have heard much about this weather event in fairness. So basically I think GAA should cancel all events to prevent an accident of those who are not informed.

    Well 4 parishes actually and the numbers watching on tg4 are always big too. Its not a local junior soccer match is the point and the venue which is the crucial bit is the best in the country. Anyway like i said its not the players or the stadium that will be the issue. its the people travelling. Should the gaa take that out of peoples hands by cancelling is the question and I am of the view they should personally. People will travel given how big a day it is for their local community.

    I'm curious about all the posts about how gusty it's getting in and around Dublin. In Carrick on Shannon now, just a normal, windy but wet, day here. A few gusts, but nothing too serious.

    I live near Knock Airport, so heading back soon. I live on an exposed hill, so not looking forward to a night of crashing and creaking.

    You can be sure the GAA are liaising with the clubs and other relevant stakeholders as we speak.

    I know the majority of the country is in orange territory but many invaded will be getting guys that they would but normally encounter. Here in the west, anything that can be blown over or uprooted probably ahead has been but that may not be true inland.

    IMHO the general guidance should have been to get acting you need out of the way this morning and from lunchtime onwards, stay home. Essential journeys only.

    It is as dark in West Clare. I'm right on the estuary and have a bad feeling about this one. Darwin absolutely smacked us upside down and I feel this one is going to do the same. Charging up everything as we speak!

    On a very exposed part of south coast (nearest town is Kinsale). Our house is battered by wind on the best of days. It is interesting reading the reports of unusual wind gusts elsewhere in the country because there has been nothing unusual here so far today. In fact yesterday morning/early afternoon was much worse! Still we are preparing for things to get bad later and hoping that’s it’s nothing like Ophelia.

    Ehh, I think you'll find he's correct. There is another thread for the circumstances around the storm. This thread is, and I stand corrected, for the discussion of the storm itself.

    Or, maybe I'm just back seat modding..;)

    I fully expect it to be called off.

    However part of me wants it to go ahead, something to watch for the afternoon.

    If the power holds.

    We've had the lights on here in Limerick City Suburbs all morning. There is an ominous feel about it. Just as there was an ominous feel about Darwin (I sincerely hope my "ominous vibes" are completely wrong).
