    I took a spin up to Howth summit (as you do in the middle of a storm). It it was wild! In the few minutes I was there, I recorded a peak wind speed of 47.8 knots which is 86 km/h. It was almost impossible to stand.

    It would be appreciated if someone could confirm whether it's true that it's ''swinging round to the SW''
    No that's the wind direction, not the location.

    The technical page is broken

    The eye is well past & the wind has changed to the WSW but the storm is not over. We may still get severe gusts

    Let them. They have no respect for their lives. BUT no attempt should be made to rescue these eejits if they get in trouble. I understand the Gardai were there and advised them to go home.

    I've 3 empty bins that usually go for a hop in some breezy weather. Haven't budged at all here in Malahide. Meant to take them into the garage but haven't needed to yet. For the parts of Dublin i've been in today don't see what the red warning is about.

    Bright and sunny but windy in D8. Can see Phoenix Park so will be interesting to watch the trees there if/when this picks up a bit more

    The storm itself is continuing on it's NE past, however I believe once the centre passes over, areas can expect that the wind direction will change rather rapidly to a South-westerly (remember that wind direction is always indicated by where the wind is coming from)

    Seems to really depend where you are in Dublin.
    In our estate, it's fairly sheltered, so no damage or bad gusts to report.
    Literally down the road has fallen trees etc...

    I think the eye might be passing west Galway now. It's weirdly silent. Starting to get a bit of movement in the treetops again now, but they were dead still for about fifteen minutes.
