    Just back from a drive through Dublin city. The roads are empty! Big gusts kicking in. Took my side gate off its hinges, as the wind funnels into the cul de sac where I am.

    Lots of that annoying rain that your wipers are either too fast or too slow for!

    Starting to kick off at DUB airport now.
    Place is fairly quiet anyway. Just need to dodge flying debris for a few hours.

    Strong wind here in Clondalkin. Gale gusts with heavy rain. Nothing that we don't experience several times per typical winter. Still, that is just my experience here; others are likely getting stronger winds. Good call to downgrade the warning level for Dublin.

    I had to look that up : learn new things everyday on boards “Foreign object debris (FOD) at airports can cause damage that costs airlines, airports, and airport tenants millions of dollars every year. FOD is any object that does not belong in or near airplanes and, as a result, can injure airport or airline personnel and damage airplanes.”

    This is like those wiki bots you get on Reddit.

    Pretty wild in D7 right now, not the worst ever, but certainly lives up to the yellow alert for this area.

    18Z analysis shows the 980-hPa low just east of Dublin Bay. Stiff gradient following it in the east for the next hour or two, then a transient ridge sets in from the west overnight.

    Does that mean it will decrease in intensity in a few hours?

    Just drove Tallaght to Sandyford.

    M50 surface water pretty bad and cross winds rocking about. Howling away.

    Was due to go back to Tallaght and back out but hanging tight to avoid going back out.

    It's pretty rough outside my house now in South Wicklow and I'm in a sheltered area. Sitting by a roaring fire listening to it howl
