    Breezy in Galway but nothing drastic.
    Just glad the rain stopped.

    For now, more on the way. Nothing to get excited about here in Galway.

    Pretty wild out alright, the gusts literally come out of nowhere. Surprised at the lack of power outages on the ESB powercheck app

    Crazy wind here in Laois, unexpected heavy stuff. Didn't feel safe driving under big trees as branches all over road expecting lots of trees down come morning.

    Seriously strong gusts here on the kildare/laois border. Plenty of banging and rattles outside...power is flickering so probably a few tress down somewhere.
    Strongest we have gotten in a while... definitely warrants more than a yellow warning here currently.

    Looks like Cock City will get it bad if it's moving northwards

    Gone fairly windy here outside Newport, Mayo. It rained all day in Castlebar but dried up as the wind increased.

    Getting stronger as I type, still within the yellow warning territory but gusts are sustained.

    Is it my imagination or is this possibly the worst storm of the season so far ?

    Met eireann didn’t seem to flag it half as much as others which were not as eventful

    Heavy rain again in cork city, wind has died down (EDIT: And its back, slightly). Seems to have turned south westerly now so could play a part in sounding better to.

    Whats this about it coming around again down here?

    Plenty of trees down according to Cork Safety Alerts. Careful if your driving

    I'd say Galway is going to get the strongest winds between now and 10pm, worst is over for the south I would suggest

    Well lads I can tell you I definitely was not expecting this tonight. We are just outside Kilbeggan. The wind is howling outside. It didn't sound this bad with Darwin. Or any of this year's storms so far. Fingers crossed we keep the power. Mad out altogether

    Most violent winds this year in North Kildare. All these storm warnings and nothing for a genuine event.

    How come this event didnt get named? I know it might be short-lived but winds are high and Met Eireann have provided a weather warning on this one?
