    Unbelievable. It’s so bad here now. The house is holding up but I’d reckon there will be local damage based on the severity of the gusts. I can only guess what’s its going to be like in an hour. Better grab another bottle. Hill over Ardmore

    Really significant increase in winds here just outside Kinsale. It was all quiet for last half hour. We live in an exposed place so are used to wind. On a scale out of 10, this is at least 7 for us. All in the last few minutes. Good thing that plane landed when it did.

    Used to wind here. Just went outside for a bit. Were hit here bad by Ophelia. Very similar wind flow as then probably not as strong but same kind of wind. With high gusts
