Looking at waterfordcityweather.com the wind seems to have peaked and the pressure is rising, obviously it's not over over but the worst of it might be - the power seems more stable as well.

power didnt go off up around Ballybricken/Barrack street anyway thankfully

its kind of creepy outside and feels like a mix between Good Friday and Xmas Day lol. Glad companys had sense and gave workers the day off, the places that opened should get a bit of a bollocking off authorities (putting staffs lives at risk)

Hope everyone on the board is ok, sadly there has been fatalities (one in county Waterford) thoughts and prayers to all affected

Loads of brownouts (power dips) and a few short outages in the Dunmore Road area. Williamstown seems to have a fault according to the ESB website.

Leo ,rte news ,tv3 news seems biased of the south east.reporting on sunny Galway mayo and Dublin haha.its all about cork getting the battering on their bulletins

Saw Damien tiernan on news, they had him on earlier on the today show, they also had fella from Munster express on.

Were there any places that stayed open all day? Was in Lidl this morning on the Tramore Road and one of the workers seemed adamant they were remaining open.
