    Certainly after 8pm this eve the wind really lifted in intensity in this part of central Mayo. Has been very gusty in the last half hour in particular and there are certainly some strong rattling gusts when those showers come along. Fairly lively out there now. No surprises. The likes of M.T and Meteorite had it well called for here today and tonight. Thanks

    Actually it is the reverse. You come to dread the storms even more after being in a bad one.

    My own reaction stems from the big tsunami as we lost loved ones in that terrible terrible event.

    In our youth too we just accepted what came. picked up the pieces and carried on, as I tend to now physically. But nothing stops the physical terror.

    What big tsunami? The one in Thailand?

    Looks like we are set for another 5 hours, at least of the worst of Storm Atiyah, according to the latest weather maps. Conditions here is Ennis, like the rest of the country is deteriorating also. If anyone is going to work at the wee early hours, please do take exceptional care. The worst is yet to come.

    Ballincollig, just outside the city, can confirm this. The North facing windows in my place just got battered by the strongest gusts so far, and they keep coming.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    lol! I avoid facebook etc... And yes we cope better with it all. Just catching up after a few hours of much needed sleep. My "demountable dwelling" home is straining at its moorings. But westnet. the local server, deserves an award. As they will be told in the near future. lol...

    Fierce out here. Just fierce. Rattles and bangs. No one will venture out and the boats will be well moored. We get very self contained and sensible in these events. Always the awareness that if I do something stupid, I am putting others lives at risk and that a medical emergency or accident is very serious as in this weather even the emergency helicopter is out of the running.

    They know me here by now and that I am as they put it once to a visitor, " Not soft but strong"

    So riding out the storm as thousands of others are doing.

    Two of the cats insisted on going out but the door is dangerous now. They have the sheds out there. Another is hyper so is shut in the kitchen!

    Another sideways deluge.

    Stay safe out there as I am in here..

    I love your updates. Keep safe tonight

    Maybe we just need a thread where the few "I see no storm" posters can post about that. It has no real use in these threads and I suspect it might drive away some readers who get trolled after they post their actual observations. Anyway, at least one person has disregarded a mod warning which I think should lead to a ban in the weather forum at least, what they do elsewhere on boards is of little concern I suppose.

    By the way, I don't mind "no storm here" posts as such, just when they inflate to become "therefore no storm anywhere" which makes no sense.

    (no storm here by the way, granted I am 8,000 kms away).

    The last 2 hours have seen the wind ramping up considerably here with the rain hitting the west window horizontally and very noisily. My weather station isn’t recording the wind...... useless bit of tat.... but this is one of the strongest wind events this year.
    S Sligo 150m asl

    Radar and wind obs indicate the centre of the low moved inland around Malin Head and is moving s.s.e. through Ulster to a position around 50 km west of Belfast. Aldergrove only had 19 km/hr winds at 22z (which is why it's not on the recently posted map of wind gusts). The gradient stays strong to about 0300h then relaxes steadily so I think the gusts will not keep up all night, just to about 0200-0300h. Things should be considerably improved by daybreak.

    Dublin winds will likely peak at midnight to 0100h.

    Wild ferocious wind howling outside. Windows being sucked in and out.

    The thing is. It's getting worse.
