    My station in Longford just hit 100

    Electricity went for a few seconds in Navan. Scared the young kids. Candles and torches ready now just in case.

    The woman out for a walk in BlackRock was determined not to let a little thing like a live RTE broadcast interrupt her walk if she was already willing to ignore an Orange level storm. Seriously people stay indoors. Stubbornness gets people killed.

    I saw a place in Donegal had the same estimated repair time but it's fixed now. Looks like there given that date and time as standard for a lot of places.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 422 ✭✭holliehobbie


    Lot of traffic there. Do people not use their cop on at all?

    Horrendous in Portlaoise now. Sirens going off, cars being blown across streets, looting, rioting, tins of tuna running out..




    Only joking😊 Getting gustier.

    Any thoughts on when/what will be peak intensity for Donegal?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,541 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Important words are calmed down. It’s not calm here in cork city but yes it’s calmed down. I know we watch lamp posts for snow, but there’s a street light outside the house that’s on. Once that’s on I’m good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 Albanach1


    We're just outside Carrick on Shannon , Roscommon side..

    We have reduced power in the house, some lights working, some gone & some dimmed. Cooker won't turn on but all lights are still on it, kettle will work but really slowly..

    Anyone had this before?

    Mild enough to get a winter cut in but I don't want to spook the neighbours being out on the lawns with the floodlights.

    Horrendous channel of wind near Tullamore. I think its being sped up as it moves north along the Slieve Blooms. Feeling as sustained rough as Ophelia around here (was worse down South than here). Some very vicious bursts in it so far. You can hear them coming before they hit.

    lights flickering here in northside of cork city and the wind is howling more so than it was during the afternoon



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    A new rhyme for the school play yards...

    'It's Isha! It's Isha! We're all blown down!'.

    Brief tornadic activity or downdraft from a squall line here in mid- Louth (Dunleer) for a minute or two at 6.20pm. Just before the roundabout lights went out, I saw for 2/3 seconds, this barrel-shape of horizontal rain sweeping across the roundabout. The wind/rain had picked up to severe intensity just before and just after it. Wow! Severe gusts, electricity gone!!!!

    Time to put childish things aside.


    Isha's blowing hard here in the Midlands and giving a nasty pounding in exposed areas.

    For anyone here up around Salthill Galway

    Very Strange seeing clear skies with very windy weather



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭Eibhir


    Next few hours it said on the 6 One till 10pm. But windy after.

    I was going to say peak intensity when Jim McGuinness meets Mickey Harte's Derry 😉



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,968 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Lol 🤣

    Live on one of the back roads out of town here and the wind really is ramping up it's intensity.

    Use lights only. Unplug all electronic devices or u going to do harm. Voltage well down



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,343 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    Things with motors, fridge and freezer could get damaged with low voltage. I'd be inclined to plug them out.



  • Posts: 919 ✭✭✭ Madison Happy Cod


    Yeah, happened in Sligo a few weeks ago. Some lights would come on but very dim. Kettles and other electrical units wouldn't work. Reduced voltage in area. Never seen it before.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 277 ✭✭Condor24


    Are we at or past peak at this stage for the Midlands?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,361 ✭✭✭✭tom1ie


    Broken neutral on ESB pole perhaps.

    Ring them and report it anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,853 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Deceptively calm here in North inishowen.

    Just gearing itself up?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,480 ✭✭✭mcburns07


    Power back again in East Cork, was resigned to it being out for the night, hopefully stays up this time. ESB crews really do Trojan work during events like this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭ThaitaniumM


    The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭Longing


    Yes many a time. Your nearest transformer is running on reduced power. Cause would be of number of reasons.

    Latest power outages as a result of Storm Isha. The strongest winds beginning to sweep in over the SW and W before moving inland and later, the NW and N.
