    Power went for over an hour this part of west Clare. Don’t trust it to last before it goes again. There are infrequent severe gusts on top of steady high winds.

    Non event? It’s not even due until 1PM here. Let’s see if you still say non event in 2/3 hours. Do people read the actual weather warning before blindly commenting here?

    Stuck my head out the door here in connamara and almost got clobbered by a flying bin which clattered off the wall and sailed into the garden wall where it is now performing a merry dance against my rose bushes !! Power went for 10 minutes earlier but back again hopefully to stay.

    Some do, most don't, and some come to just troll and antagonize unfortunately.

    The sustained wind speed isn't particularly spectacular here in West Clare, it's the gusts the really pack the punch. It seems to come in peaks and troughs, it can get rather benign for a short while before a period of strong gusts arrive.
