I suspect,it was sarcasm
Snide Scrooge not giving us the storms and blizzards we want
Newsflash Gaoth Láidir has no influence over this

60.2 knots; 111 kph gust in Dun laoghaire at 6pm. Getting very sporty here!!

Shakey_jake

Hold on a minute

That has tobe the worst one we've had this year, absolutely blown out of it from the docklands to Connolly

No big fiasco in the media though

Itssoeasy

Sweet Jesus it's kicked up a notch In cork city. Driving rain.

Storm 10

Wind getting very strong in Galway now

CirrusBusiness

Some very strong gusts hitting here now in the last 20 minutes. The house has started creaking and it sounds like there is a twister outside the sitting room window! If that keeps up there will be trees down. Already a big bang out the back but waiting until morning to see what it was. Hopefully not a tree on the shed.

(Carlow side of Mt Leinster.)

Storm Elsa according to Joanna Donnelly just now.

There's nothing funny about a southsider

OldRio

Serious wind a howling. Not expecting it this bad in Leitrim.
A night for candles. A roaring fire. A glass or two of Whiskey and a scary book.

SleetAndSnow

Very wild in cork city, heavy rain just started again and looking out the window can see the wind blowing very strongly. Since the wind is from the south east house isn't getting hit as bad as it would from the south west, but crickey still some gusts causinf the house to creak

A feeling we know well out here! Maybe folk in towns etc who comment re "drama" do not have any idea what like it is in rural areas etc when we describe very simply what is literally happening in storms.

No street lights or cars etc; no house lights within sight. No moon so literally pitch black space outside the patch of light shed by the opening door. Blind darkness. Just the howling wind... and lashing rain cold on warm skin.

Not " drama", in the pejorative sense, simply the reality we choose to live in... . What life in deep rural and on coasts and islands offers us to live among as part of the environment - and love it while respecting the sheer power of the wild wind

Now to try to get the cat in...

Sharp MZ700

Is it to calm down anytime soon?

Edinburgh Aer Lingus regional flight aborted landing into Cork. Looks like they will give it another go.

Picking up in North Kerry. Was meant to be going over the road but decided it wasn't worth meeting a falling tree.

Just heard it fly overhead, in wilton/togher area so close enough to the airport. Winds are strong enough so on that exposed hill? God love them indeed!

Edit: Just saw it too. God its shaking. Props working hard on it

Edit: And its landed

Free whisky for passengers and crew if they do land.

Storm Elsa is the main parent depression further out in the N.Atlantic, this is just a smaller depression spawned from Elsa that's giving us a windy evening/night.

Managed to land on the second attempt. Ya, those planes are awful when there's strong winds.

Breezy in Galway but nothing drastic.
Just glad the rain stopped.

What I'd give to be back home in the countryside on a night like this.

7pm

Roaches Point gusting 59 knots(109 km/h)

Thepillowman

Some serious gusts here in East Clare strongest winds all winter I reckon.

thomil

Subjectively speaking, it's stronger than Atiyah here in Ballincollig, and the bus ride home about an hour ago was pretty wild. Things seem to have calmed down a bit for now, but the strong winds seem to be coming in waves here, and when they do, the entire apartment block shakes.

Happily, the good days always make up for the bad ones! The past two days though cold, were stunningly beautiful.

That said, this is the fifth day this month when it's been far too horrible outside to contemplate walking down to the gate to check my postbox.

RobertKK

This is stronger than Atiyah.

Current high gust at my location in Kilkenny is 85.3km/hr.

There comes out here a kind of adapting. Just accepting the variations and living in them Not bad or good; just IS. Easier when like me you do not have to be anywhere anytime of course; the luxury of old age It becomes a way of life. Not expressing that very well. The cold lacerates though. It is the worst aspect for me.
each to his /her own. Good to one is bad to another .. .which is as well..

Nothing too bad out here yet... we shall see. Nothing has ever ever come near Callum out here .

When I lived in the UK near a high rise tower block it literally moved in high winds.. Which is why all the houses out here are ground floor only.. Has calmed here too

RobertKK

86.9km/hr now, Atiyah only gusted to 73km/hr.

edit 88.5km/hr now

That's far too zen for me; I want to live, rather than simply exist!
