    This is going to be interesting as the storm centre is going to be tracking right across the island.
    The strongest winds, are expected to the south of it afaik peaking from teatime to this time tomorrow thursday evening.

    If it does what it says in the text book this will down trees,powerlines and chimneys in parts of Connaught Munster and South Leinster.

    The normally afraid to mention southern Ireland Michael Fish tonight predicted 80mph wind gusts in the Irish sea area, with West Wales being the worst affected part of the U.K

    Translated to us, that means , the East coast is looking like it's going to get a battering.

    Some pictures of Mister Storm.

    Also for anyone around the coasts high winds and high sea swell could well lead to some flooding.
