    So for two hours ballybunion gets hit while kibaha gets nothing. Then instantaneously the storm just flips and ballybunion is fine while kilbaha gets pasted.

    I guess the 8pm crossing from killimer to tarbert will sail as normal. Leaving before the red kicks in and arriving after the red kicks out of tarbet.

    As earlier, all services cancelled from 6.

    I'm fairly tired of all this warning ****e, it's for the county as a whole, not specific parts! If we selected parts of countries, people would still be saying "why were they red and we weren't!", You can't win and I think the current system works fine.

    Stick? It’s not snow :D

    I see everything through the prism of white, fluffy, soft, icy snow. :(

    Wind picking up here a bit in the last few minutes near Dublin Airport, gone to breezy.

    You must live in some weird sort of Bishopstown triangle - your observations are nearly always out of kilter with what everyone else in the city is seeing/feeling including the folks up top of the north side hills

    not really, friends are texting me saying the exact same things I am experiencing.. I'm just saying its hitting the house and whistling in along with the trees blowing fairly strong, certainly not a 'breezy day'.

    No of course not. The worst is expected between 6-8 in Kerry which would also tie in with coastal parts of Cork. After that not as bad but still very windy.

    Gusting 80 km/h now here

    Seems to be following the expected path and strength so far?

    Will know in the next hour, would have thought wind speeds down around Valentia might have been a bit stronger by now , as Gaoth Laidir mentioned earlier that the cloud characteristics showed a possible sting jet formed which may have indicated that it peaked earlier ? Don't know . As I type wind gusts aregetting more frequent and loud!



    Bit of a lull while the wind switched to the SW, big loud gusts now up around 80 km/h

    Winds picking up here in West Dublin. I still don't see how Dublin is not a yellow level. I suspect that later, when winds turn to the NW, Dublin could be in for a bit of an unexpected stormy period

    This thread has become unreadable with the amount of waffle being spouted. Again, there should be two threads, one for chat and one for actual useful info.

    The house is full of smoke, the wind is blowing down the mountain onto the roof. The fire is now just a smoke generator.

    One of the garden trees in that video is now down and over the power lines, I just emailed ESB as we have no mobile coverage atm.

    Strong gusts are still coming in - pressure up 1 to 986mb.
