We got it pretty bad here today (Wicklow/Kildare border)

Certainly some parts of the country seem to have been harder hit than others.

Pity met eireann could not come up with a map of the country with max wind speeds recorded in different parts of the country...or maybe there is one and I am unaware of it? Even during the storm it was difficult to get an accurate picture of wind speeds and direction in different areas.

I grow rare ornamental plants. Rare plants go for a lot of money to collectors.

Sure.

Are you saying I'm wrong? Because I'm city here in the city and have been out in it and I've just some up a road that has people standing on it desperately thumbing lifts.

Or are you telling me I'm wrong about the timeline with Dublin Bus?

Wexford was fairly hammered, my sister is still without Electricity and likely to be for a while.

Phoned my 80+ year parents to suggest they fill a flask in case of power cut. Mum said "We're grand. We still have a gas cooker and we have candles and matches everywhere". You can't beat old folks and experience.

Was a fun thread for the most part hope to never have to go through it again damn hurricane was scarier than being in a lift with Harvey Weinstein and a blonde actress.

Mutant z · 16-10-2017 09:14PM

We escaped the brunt of it with no power outage others weren't quite so likely it's still a bit windy but thankfully its died down from earlier at least where i am anyway it might be different for others, but from where I'm sitting the worst of it has passed.

Excellent. Thats a very useful and informative site, much more helpful than rte news who subjected us to a pathetic series of repeated interviews with people around the country in an effort to inform us of the current situation during the day. Some people wanted to know wind speeds and direction.

Yup I had it open in a tab in my browser all day. Very interesting

The roads were eerily quiet this afternoon, apart from the noise of the wind, debris flying all over the place and trees falling down.

This was between Greystones and Bray at around 3pm. Half the road was blocked, but the filth had the situation under control.

With all the ****e in this thread, calling people out today working on our behalf - filth - takes the biscuit.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Seriously Ray, what age are you posting that kind of crap?

I'd expect that from teenagers...

Ah stop, I didn't mean it literally. It's a term that I find darkly funny because of its unnecessary harshness. They were doing an amazing job of directing traffic in direct danger, while dealing with basically horizontal rain and zero visibility.

So this Hurricane
