    North Donegal and got to say I'm surprised this morning as it's not as bad as I was expecting.

    Yes it's windy, with some strong gusts, but nothing too bad. Had a lot worse.

    The rain was the main issue over the last 24 hrs. The fields are showing water where they never had before.

    We have wind and rain in Wexford town but nothing which i would describe as worthy of an orange warning.

    Agree about the video posted and the wording used, absolute sensationalism at it's finest.

    The warnings and over hyping of events is getting out of control. I know of someone who was meant to go from Wexford to Carlow yesterday and did not because they had heard and read about the warnings. I know myself how stupid people can be about actually reading what the warning says but i think the problem is the amount of warnings for what turns out to be non events is getting out of hand. How did we ever survive years ago.

    Big squall just crossed N80 outside Carlow, out near Fighting Cocks pub on Wexford side. Winds ramped up bigtime, torrential rain, poor visibility.

    An hour ago it was torrential on the east coast, now partial blue sky and wind right down. As quickly as she arrived she left!

    I've never heard anything like the rain this morning.

    I'm in North Dublin and it's been relatively calm so far. The odd gust but nothing severe yet.

    I know it's early enough for the event on the East cost but it's not even yellow territory here at the moment. Surprised to read the above post about it being red territory in North Dublin.

    I'm a very light sleeper. We have a noisy house where wind is concerned and last night was uneventful thankfully.

    Maybe you were roofied? I too am in the same area and it was absolutely wild, noisiest night we've had in years, sky lights were sounding like we had drummers on our roof.

    I always feel left out when people have eye witness reports on the wildness of nature! The odd splash of rain on the window my sleep was fairly undisturbed!

    Not that bad at all in Meath.
    I tend to keep an eye on the warnings but generally completely ignore yellow and would be only a bit more cautious for orange. Only Red is really worth sitting up for.

    I slept thru the storm but some decent gusts earlier this morning;

    Mace Head (7am) = 126 km/h
    Valentia (9am) = 115 km/h

    Certainly no more than an Orange. A Yellow outside the west coast would have sufficed. Nothing over 100 km/h east of Athlone.
