    Can't decide between going to bed and staying up. I really dont like the creaking sound coming from my west facing floor to ceiling living room window.

    Very bad here now in Castlebar. In an exposed spot, anything not tied down is gone. Bins went over an hour ago, cant even see them anywhere.

    Nope. When the lid blows you'll have a 120kmh brick missile!

    The whistle down the chimney is my gauge of the wind strength.

    Anyone heard any reports of funnel cloud activity ? The reason I ask is something went through the bottom of the garden 20 mins ago which was very loud and high pitched, it took 15 seconds to get through the garden and I could hear it as it went down the mountainside. It was most likely some kind of vortex as we are high up, and theres lots of rock around. Still as bad as its been, I think the mountains shielded this part of Kerry from the earlier effects, even down at the beach it was not too bad, but then this slight shift to NW seems to make a huge difference.

    Grand day here on kk/ laois/ Carlow border. Windy and wet a bit, but nothing bad, even had sunshine today. Went to our Santa visit in the woods, again grand, nothing out of the ordinary weather wise. Dunno if it’s gonna pickup overnight but I don’t really care, we’re inside, safe and snug.

    Definitely the strongest gusts of the whole event here at the moment just east of Castlebar. Has become fairly wild out there now.

    Ah I have a 30ft tower reporting to the laptop
    Rather it than me out there
    Probably stronger gusts in the next 2hrs hereabouts
    Last night actually just after midnight in a squal there was a gust of 90.7kmh
    I'm doubtful tonight will exceed that but it might if combined with a shower

    In many cases, the front of the bins will fit snuggly under a rear of house window sill. - certainly in the last 3 places I have lived.

    A bale of briquettes or a bag of coal.

    A brick might be too light in areas of high gusts

    ESB Powercheck is always a good indication of storm damage https://www.esb.ie/esb-networks/powercheck/

    We look to have been very lucky in South Mayo. We are in the only sector from west to east that has no outages in that map

    On a separate note, may I applaud the mods here on the weather forum tonight. They have very quickly and decisively eliminated any posts that involve trolling or mocking of Storm Atiyah. This is the first time tonight that I have posted on this particular part of boards.ie.

    This is a very bad storm and imo is worse than Storm Hannah and Lorenzo. I commend the mods for being such pro-active and doing such a great job. I am a huge weather follower and I look forward to posting again, in what appears to be one of the more well-run threads on boards.

    Wild as I've seen in a few years here outside Newport. Between 9pm and 10:30pm there was some sustained powerful gusts with little break between. Personal weather station maxed out at 130km, probably not 100% accurate but certainly well above 100km for it to max out.
    Seems to have eased off in the last 45 mins or so with just the odd strong gust.

    Hope your safe and well Graces
