Doesn't look like it hit any building anyway, over 500m tall so hopefully not!

A tree is over 500m tall? :eek:

Things have calmed down a bit here in Ballincollig, but there are still some rather wild gusts in there. Pressure is climbing again, now at 974.8mb.

Bit of wind, bit of rain on northside cork, hardly a red weather warning

If you say it again, someone might bother listening to yer “opinion”

Well red warning coming to an end in Cork. I presume it’s making its journey north. Stay safe people.

Calming down a bit in Dungarvan now at the minute.

smellyoldboot · 19-08-2020 10:44PM

Meh. It was a bit windy. Spose yould say say Ellen lived up to her name. All mouth and no trousers.

ceekay74 · 19-08-2020 10:44PM

Gone quiet enough now here in Killarney. Was quite windy and wet the last hour though. Nothing like some of the other posters are describing.

Thanks for posting these, I'm not on Twitter. Hopefully people will check any information available on their route in the morning and be extra vigilant if driving anywhere.

Awh no! Loved that tree for some reason. Planted in 1845, downed today.

Me too, sad to see it go. Passed it every day for years and as recently as last Friday.
Still have power here but every now and again there are interruptions and things are bleeping.
Some friends are down in union hall at the moment :eek:

Fastnet gusts increasing? Easily gusting at least 100km/h here still if not more. Water flying out of the shoots and trees are pretty much at breaking point. Wish i could measure the speed because it is difficult to pass on what its like when its dying out around the rest of the county!

Gaoth Laidir · 19-08-2020 10:45PM

I think the IWC...I mean ECM went a little crazy on this one. Still early, but it is possible that Ellen Degenerates into something more along the lines of the ICON...

Winds picking up again in west cork as per the Union Hall post above so moving eastwards it seems. Mental, wasn't expecting this here.Not sure if its just the fact of being right next to the coast or what but having fun trying to open my velux windows and failing. Its like a game now, me vs ellen

What???:eek:

sdanseo · 19-08-2020 10:46PM

Wind starting to creep back up now at Kinsale.

They're right though tbf. A spot of wind. Jaysus there were some sites going on as if we were getting Hurricane Katrina or similar. Had more worrying farts.

WoolyJumper · 19-08-2020 10:51PM

Electricity gone near Glanmire. It got very wild out of no where but it seems to have calmed down. I'm guessing the worst is over for in and around Cork city?
