    Yes and the wind is from south/south west.
    This is why weather alerts have to be colour coded.
    Yes but the poster was saying the mountains would shelter it from these winds but they're coming from the wrong direction for it to apply

    Ah interesting! Followed up by the brightest flash of lightning and loudest bang of thunder I've ever felt, house was shaking and all.

    Very heavy rain around South Tipperary, trees down on multiple roads.

    Flashes of lightening and thunder ongoing the last 10 minutes.

    Be careful on the roads if venturing out.

    This is easily the worst storm since Ophelia here in Kildare. Gusts are getting very big now.

    North Kildare has nothing.

    Which was why I said that's the reason weather alerts are colour coded on a large regional basis.

    Very wet and windy in north Donegal. Certainly feels like an Orange event.

    Rubbish. I'm looking out the window in work and it's drizzing straight down.

    Look at the wind maps, it's showing 40kmh max around the midlands.

    Joe Duffy going to feature Storm Brendan on Liveline on RTE Radio 1 after the lunchtime news. Should there be another warning issued for this?

    Nothing more than a very typical strong breeze with near gale gusts in the celbridge and Lucan area.

    Are people exaggerating things here? Salthill prom has been re-opened hours ago.

    That idea of yours about removing the trampoline from a motorway is one of the daftest things I've read on here. I'm a strong man, used to physical work. I'd hop out of a car to change a tyre, give people a dig out when I could.

    The wind would catch the netting on that trampoline and it could go anywhere, especially when you attempted to get it moving. You'd be endangering yourself and motorists as you'd be pulled with it, even if you were 25st.

    From farm experience any shed gates with galvanise are lethal when it's anyway windy. Many a person got a leg break, knocked out or worse. The dense meshing on a trampoline would be the very same.

    Far from scientific here but in work in Dublin City centre and it’s the loudest winds I can remember outside. Trees aren’t in trouble or anything by the looks of it but it sounds bad outside.

    Interesting that the ESB powercheck is showing a notable cluster of outages running from Lucan in west Dublin, through to North meath. Has this area been subjected to a localised more severe wind than other inland areas?




    Only showing one on the map and its planned. We are grand in Lucan
