    I'm shocked by how sudden the change was. This is quite unsettling. Wind is mental now. Cork City South. Power still on.

    Starting to get a bit gusty west of Athlone now, I am in a sheltered hollow surrounded by trees but am already seeing gusts exceed 30Kmh and pressure of 977 and dropping.
    Not much rain yet, only 2.8mm for the day 2mm about an hour ago.

    For once, it does not seem so bad here in the West, however I can imagine what's on the way, given some of the comments so far. Trees will definitely fall, that is for certain.

    Can't believe how out of nowhere it was. Was completely calm here in Rochestown and within 2 minutes the power was gone and the gusts started.

    Same here, you know it bad when you have to close the window.

    Winds picking up a bit Kk laois border trees swaying around and wind nice and high. Now if the storm streaks this way, I’d say it’ll be bad, it’s nowhere near yet and the wind is powerful already.

    Yep getting walloped here now near Blarney. We are quite sheltered in a bit of a Glen but it's very wild out.

    I strongly suspect I won't have a shed in the morning, so if anyone around the Carrigaline area see's it, do let me know yeah.

    If you want your rubbish scattered to the four winds, by all means put it out.

    The one week it’s full to the brim! Think I’ll be getting up at 6am to put it out..

    Picked up here in Wilton but doesn’t sound as severe as in other parts of the city. Being north facing is likely a help for us too

    Near the old head kinsale. Sustained winds not at all bad, odd severe gusts. But so far, nothing too worrying. Wondering if we are west enough to avoid the worst of it.
    Really need to get a weather station :).

    I’m shaking. Tree just fell against house.

    South Carlow. Frightening.

    It's gone pretty calm here 10km west of Fermoy. The sudden changes this evening from quiet to loud to quiet again feels quite eery!
