    Crazy gusts here in center mayo. Worst all year. Will be alot of damage in the morning.
    The ludicrous system of countywide colour coded weather warnings tends to lull people into a false sense of security. Mayo and Galway are large counties, stretching from the Atlantic coast to the midlands.
    This feels like the worst storm of the year in East Mayo but I may be wrong. Figures from Claremorris and Knock Airport will tell the tale.

    What exactly has Salthill got to do with 'Carlow Weather'?

    Drove from Gort to Corofin Co Clare this evening and there's debris everywhere l, bits of branches and broken trees down.
    Looked like a tornado went through it.
    More than likely its dead wood but if you hit it hard enough you could damage your vehicle.

    A slow day for yourself if you have issues with that.

    Shock horror, weather enthusiast posts about the strongest gust of the storm.

    Looks like this will be worse than a lot of named storms and therefore overlooked in terms of potential

    Why isn't this a named storm? I've seen more damage and disruption today then I have the last few storms

    Strongest gust at Knock Airport since Ali in September 2018 (63 kts) whilst Eleanor in January 2018 had 84 kts associated with a sting jet.

    Same with Mace Head, also the strongest since Ali (79 kts).

    Provisional table updated in original post as of the 2200 obs.

    It does seem very like Ali even though I don't remember much rain for Ali. There would be a lot more trees down if they were in leaf.

    Wild as here in Sligo. Didn't realise it was even a yellow and it's far worse than recent orange warnings. Just heard something clatter on the roof. Hate the wind. :(

    TV signal just been knocked out in Letterkenny, gotten nice and windy in the past hour. Parents out on the west coast text to say they've lost power as well

    Nothing especially interesting so far but definitely the strongest 'storm' we've had here so far this year

    Pretty windy in malahide dying down a bit now, its going up and down.

    I went to bring the dog out, but i remembered i don't have a dog. I'm just used to seeing people in stormy conditions out walking there dog for no apparent reason, oblivious to the really wet and windy weather. Silly me. :P

    Sort of more reminds me of 'Eleanor', in that it started and ended very suddenly, at least here locally.
