    Tree down on the South Link Road outbound in Cork at the Park and Ride.. fire service in attendance though it’s only blocking 2 of the 3 lanes

    2 ambulances after heading inbound to the Elysian with the lights on. Going to be a busy day for them

    Re the flight to Knock: the RYR80 would have been an empty flight positioning to Knock to see if it could attempt a landing to pick up the passengers due to fly to Stansted. The plane itself is Stansted based so when it couldn’t land at Knock it positioned back to Stansted empty and the outbound flight will be cancelled

    He/she was stating that that particular poster`s so called employees don`t exist and if you take a look at his posting history you might see why that comment was made.

    Wind definitely stronger now in north Donegal, but as yet nothing to get worried about.

    We've had a lot worse.

    Although I think the worst of the winds are scheduled for a handful of hours away yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    Just outside Louisbourg here and a heap of slates off the roof already. It is as wild as I've ever seen it. Stay safe people

    I've never heard and seen an aircraft have to aggressively have to power up and correct that much.




    On go around airplanes power up to the max. Its standard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Goldfinch8


    In Ballaghaderreen currently. Storm has found a different gear here over the past half hour. It is the sustained wind speeds that seem quite a feature here at the moment. Lashing rain also. One dirty day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Two flights into Cork doing alot of circling, the Amsterdam Aer Lingus, in particular.

    The same in South West Donegal, blustery but nothing too bad. I'm hoping it won't be in full force at 3pm when the kids have to be collected from school.

    Highest gust for 1100 reports is Roches Point at 135 km/h.

    135kmh at Roches Point now


  • Registered Users Posts: 133 ✭✭KingJeremy


    There goes the wheelie bin, despite it being weighted down with blocks. Fortunately not too full so not much to pick up off the lawn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,436 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Not great here in west limerick, but Orange warning is about right.

    Bad, but not unreal bad if get me. Hopefully in middle of worst of it now.

    If it increases might change me mind:pac:

    I'm living on a clifftop on the outer harbour of Cork, Certainly feels like Red Alert territory. Hoping the worst is over.

    Our attic access hatch was sucked into the attic in the last hour!

    It the same for me - sustained wind is more notable, than actual gusts. I think this might change with the second period of wind in the late afternoon. It's at that time we may see the highest gusts recorded in western coastal areas

    Yes but Roches point is covered adequately with the marine warning, so it is in place


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Roches Point's gust of 135 km/h, strongest since Mace Head's 147 km/h gust during Storm Ali in September 2018.

    esb map back and partly working.

    Still quiet here, no power.

    I heard Alan from Carlow Weather (Villain on here right?) stressing on TodayFM about how MET Eireann have not issued any red warnings. Good on ya pushing back on that rubbish posted on Twitter last night.

    Separately I'm in the Avoca Valley in Wicklow and it's surprisingly calm still. A southerly is the best scenario for me because the house is well sheltered from that direction. Westerly by far the worst for me. Worst yet to come for the East though.

    Windy.com has quite good graphics. I would say brace yourself, definitely not at the worst.

    its the way of the world these days. back 10 or 15 years ago a school wouldn't close unless the roof fell in. now a school will close for pretty much any gust of wind. not saying is right or wrong its the way it is.

    Avoiding an injury to just one kid at school, or en route, warrants a school closure.

    It's recycling collection day here. All were emptied before the wind started to get a bit blowey, so all we have is a load of empty bins blowing around the road.



    Better go out and pick them all up for everyone who is at work.

    Wow just watched the LHR-ORK flight come in low over my office window here on final approach to Cork...I would NOT want to be on that. It is all over the place.

    Wonder will it abort?

    Update...it landed...bumpy I would say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,557 ✭✭✭madalig12


    If this storm was hitting Dublin the whole country would be on a red warning.

    Fasnet is a few KMs off shore. Roches Pt and Mace Head are both onland albeit coastal

    Gusts like that are not that unusual at an exposed site like Fastnet. I only look at the official synoptic stations.

    Amsterdam flight coming in behind it according to FlightRadar after circling repeatedly...surely he can make it now also as both same type planes.

    Just passed over me on approach...eek..nearly sideways and swaying like a mad thing.

    Can somebody please give me a logical reason why any airline would knowing launch a plane to a destination knowing they were in the middle of a storm with gusts in excess of 130kph?:rolleyes:

    Grow up. The system doesn't work like that. There is certain criteria set for the level of warnings. Criteria wasn't set by Dublin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 420 ✭✭Little snowy old me


    Evelyn said that the East will be over the worst by 3pm. Well considering it is now nearly 11.30am, this means either winds are going to dramatically ramp up in the next 3 hours or the winds will not even reach yellow level warning. Will wait and see.

    EI841 from Amsterdam on approach to Cork now. Pilot told ATC that they’re straight to Dublin if they have to go around
