RTE still has number as 34k without power. I'd say there's a lot more now. There must be some trees down too.

Heard of a large tree falling in Sligo county blocking a road. Still not gone here but Met have extended out the yellow wind warning on their forecast for Sligo till 5am

Still very strong windy outside windy mountbellow

Oranmore Galway out by the coast.

Some hefty gusts here the last hour or so, creaking roof and roof tiles flapping a bit. Didn't expect this so late or to be so powerful. Dying off a bit though.

On the Laois/Kilkenny border, it’s definitely far more of a howling wind than Isha. The roof of the house and shed are making far more noise than Sunday.

thomasking22008 · 24-01-2024 1:53am

I though would be calming by midnight seem keep windy going on

But a car is the safest place to be in a thunderstorm!

God almighty I thought this won't be anything as bad as Isha, but the howls out of it! Seems to be hitting the house hard.

Now thankfully not going on as long, but the toddler is up again.

Feck you storms!

It’s been consistently gusting here in north Kilkenny since 6:30. Hasn’t let up one bit. Every bit as bad as Isha and probably worse because of its consistency.

K-9 · 24-01-2024 2:26am

Starting to calm down here in Donegal. Pretty strong gusts from 11 to 1.

An Ri rua · 24-01-2024 2:41am

Most mental gust of the week just now near Tullamore..

Absolutely 10% and higher above Isha's best. A proper wig banisher.

Ooer missus!

Dazler97 · 24-01-2024 3:18am

Current wind gusts, still blustery here in carrick, defo wasn't as bad as isha

NIMAN · 24-01-2024 4:31am

Was woken at 0230 by the noise in North inishowen.

Was very sustained.

Starting to calm a little now at 0330, must be moving by.

No power.

eastie17 · 24-01-2024 5:30am

Belmullet co. Mayo, no power since Sunday. Not supposed to be back until late Thursday night

DOCARCH · 24-01-2024 7:43am

Still pretty windy/gusty in Greystones this morning. Gusting 48 knots.

corsav6 · 24-01-2024 7:50am

Absolute calmness here outside Newport. There were some strong sustained gusts last night but nowhere near the level of Sunday night.

Hopefully that's it for a while now.

I’d well believe it. Looking at the weather maps it appears South Dublin got the least impact yet just up the road in NCD and down the road to South Wicklow had a roar of a night!

Storm comparison table updated with the numbers of Jocelyn.

East Sligo - very windy again last night but not as bad as Sunday. I slept through and woke to the birds singing this morning, it's all nice and calm again. Our lights flickered multiple times last night but thankfully we didn't lose power at all.

gipi · 24-01-2024 12:16pm

I asked about possible flight disruption earlier in the thread, thanks to those who replied.

Flew from Dublin to Leeds Bradford this morning - winds too strong to attempt a landing at LBA, we eventually landed at Liverpool! Waiting for coach transfer at the moment.
