Does this look bad this far out?
Some fairly violent gusts in Cork city.
Currently 18,707 customers without electricity supply.
This number topped 200,000 during Ophelia
The two storms aren't comparable, one was a red warning for basically the entire country I believe, this is an orange for the south mostly
More or less my point as regards colour of warning etc, thank you 😊
First time I can recall that there is a wind and rain warning for the 6 northern counties yet none for the border counties apart from Louth wind warning. Not a criticism, just an observation.
I do think Cork was borderline red just based on rain earlier, it was pretty strong for a good period of time. Would be interesting to see how much mm of rain has fallen so far today in Cork city, cos it seems to have been a lot.
Highest gust 1300 Sherkin island 102kph. Cork airport 81kph.
Very bad now again
My watering can got knocked over. Bit windy alright but nothing very dramatic. East Cork
Miserable grey, wet and windy day so far in South Kildare but nothing too dramatic.
Cork looks scary!
Brutal out now with severe gusts and squally showers,a lot of the children in the local school are been collected early in case it gets worse
strongest winds so far in cork city area...
Roche’s point 18.9mm
Inishcarra 25.9mm
That’s up to midday/12.30
Nothing more than the yellow that was forecast in Clare (inland)
I did let almost the spuds burn when I got distracted chasing a letter from the dentist that got blown out our kitchen window, but I think it would be a bit much to go red just for that.
Fair enough, definitely felt more than that considering places started getting flooded and from where I am down in Little Island.
have a look at a post made at 1.12 in the Aviation forum, didn’t think it is that stormy to cause such chaos?
Pretty violent now in Cork, coinciding with schools out!! We said it last night this was the risk!!
North Cork and it's fairly windy😌😁 the rain earlier was bad apparently. Slept through it. Working last night and again tonight so missed the worse bits.
Currently entertaining our spaniel out the back with her ball. She's gotta play no matter the weather😌😁
Ou principle just sent a message to say we can collect the kids earlier…..could she not have sent it when it wasn’t as bad an hour is so ago!! Definitely the strongest winds here yet today currently
Max gust here so far touching 70kmh
Not too bad
Rain total so far just 10.4mm
Good few gusts last 20 mins in the 60's
Noticeable but not remarkable
We'll see what now to 5pm brings
The centre of the storm seems to be near SW coast now.
..
In Carrick on Shannon and its like monsoon. No warning here. Is that coz there's always Floods here.
Power gone all around us in south carlow but still have it here. A good 2000 or so affected and we are well away from peak action.
I’ll be glad when smallboy one gets in from the bus.
yeah, well meant but a terrible idea. secondary kids certainly better off waiting til 4pm in Cork
80kmh just now
That's waffle, you should know how many mm of strong rain fell before you can say it's borderline red .
Update from Cork City Council:
Storm Agnes has moved faster than anticipated across the region, therefore the predicted tidal surge no longer coincides with high tide in Cork City, reducing the anticipated risk of localised flooding in low-lying quay areas of the city. The road closures and lane restrictions announced yesterday are no longer required and Cork City Council is not predicting any tidal flooding at 5pm this evening.
Any updates from North County Dublin?
Thanks, surprised at the rain total because seems to have been a serious amount of rain in Rathdrum. Also not as gusty as forecast then for Arklow so far, Met Eireann have Arklow down for 100k+ between 3 and 5 so more to come all the same.
