We're some might gusts ther bending trees over but not quite as bad now. That squall could do some damage in the UK later.

Where are you? Seems to be easing off in Dundalk now but I wouldn't trust it. That's a very untechnical term but I feel it accurately conveys my feelings on the matter.

Jesus, that gate is gashing the **** out of the wall.

A powerful squall has just ploughed through here and omg it has left me shook. Set the house alarm off and woke us all up

Any live webcams looking at the sea in the west?

The diamond rock live camera is great on a good day but seems to be out of action tonight, has a wicked view across the bay

I'm very tempted to test the whole "pissing into the wind" adage, I'll never get a better chance.

I tried the opposite this one time... the wind decided to change direction... blowback

Incredible equal, could have been much worse if it had developed better. Stl brought some whopper gusts, eased off to pre-squal now.

Things are certainly startin' to pick up now in Dublin. Might yet be worth the wait

you gotta feel very sorry for the homeless ppl tonite

Simon Gruber Says

I can see the RWY 28 approach for Dublin. That headwind was really slowing them down. They're working the power tonight on that approach.

Delta heavy on approch saying he may be over his limits. Wonder where he'll divert to, everything else on the island will be just as bad if not worse than here.

I assume that was the first time you ever went camping, that was when I learned never to rely on the wind :pac:

The squall might only be hitting here now, maybe the whesht is used to these winds but the trees across the road have been around longer than any of us and the big one is just about ready to give way.

I'm glad I was awake for this, I'm saying this from a warm housing with a laptop and several harddrives to keep me company but this is the biggest wind event since at least the late 90s. (When I was small enough to be impressed by 40knot wings. :pac: )

Dublin Airport? Saw a glider tonight around 7, think he only had clearance once a week, I'd say he was taking pictures and will take more tomorrow afternoon for the afters :pac:

The wind sounds pure demonic up here! Roof tiles are banging like crazy. Electricity just gone out too :(

'some large object' is blowing around a taxiway at Dublin Airport apparently

tylercollins

Some "large object" blowing about the runway in Dublin haha

Winds still very much the same here.

Simon Gruber Says

Still very gusty out here in D5. Large trees beside us are swaying a good bit

Iancar29

Some debris of some sort reported now on the taxi way!

Guess we are all ears on the radio! haha
