    To get back to using new terms.

    The gust to 66knots at Roches Point = 122km/hr

    So completely justifies the Met.IE Orange warning.

    I live near Riverstick co cork and already the bbq, new oil tank are gone up the garden.. Picket fencing is putting up a good fight...:(

    Saw plenty of bins and branches all over the place on the way home. Arrived home to find some roof tiles on the ground.

    OK (for now) here. I'll be well cheesed off if it goes, I've an exam tomorrow and don't fancy last minute revision by candle light. I've a headache as it is. Maybe I should stay off Boards! :o

    is wind stronger the higher above sea level you are? Im 157m above sea level, an area Ive only recently moved to & its like a hurricane up here, the howl of the wind was so loud sunday and last night, never heard anything like it, so really not looking forward to later tho its already pretty bad now.

    Would suggest OP might edit title to something that alerts Dublin region to potential damaging gusts that can be expected fairly soon, would say 8-10 p.m. strongest gusts will hit Kildare and west Dublin, 9-11 p.m. Dublin city and Meath, and the severe gusts could then last for several more hours beyond that. Peak wind gusts of 120-130 km/hr seem plausible given the history and the gradient winds on current short range model 3h and 6h projections.

    Peak gusts will probably hit Laois, Kilkenny and Carlow now to 9 p.m., slight risk of even stronger tornadic gusts as radar indicates some small-scale development. Would stress these stronger gusts (to 170 km/hr) would be very localized and may not be reported except in the aftermath as damage is inspected (talking about something like a brief touchdown of F0 tornado in the region). Let's hope if this happens it stays away from any residential areas and just hits in open country somewhere.

    Wild night in these parts. As Jerry mentioned earlier a gust of 57kts or 106km/h recorded at Waterford Airport. My station recording regular gusts of 70km/h. Not a night to be out and about for sure.

    Nothing too noteworthy in Galway, just breezy with moderate gusts, driving rain is making for poor conditions but the wind isn't all that strong

    West Cork getting a hammering too. I'm near Dunmanway. Parts of our fence have blown down. It's so bad, small pebbles of gravel are blowing off the drive and hitting our glass patio door!! That's a new one on me.
