    Some deep echoes showed up on a squall line moving ENE through the Navan area at 6.15pm. A downburst / jet streak is quite likely to have occurred as brief period intense rainfall and damaging gusts swept through the area.

    At 8 to 10pm parts of Ireland disappeared under wind on weather earlier. Something came crashing down outside. It was hardly the chimney wasn't that loud.

    Seemed to be an almost eerie lack of wind there for a while in Cork City. Starting to pick up again with some quite sharp short gusts now.

    Another massive gust, this is kind of scary but exhilarating at the same time.

    I'm guessing the worst is over in the Midlands? (Laois area?) It's been blustery all day and some wind howling on occasion but overall not much else to report.

    Got there safely in the end. M7 was grand but the M8 particularly from Thurles all the way to the N40 in Cork was horrible to drive in. Could physically feel the wind blowing my car (Toyota Corolla) left and right. Visibility wasn't great either with the rain.

    Anyone driving tonight, stay vigilant and watch your speed

    I do the M7/M8 run a fair bit myself. At least on the M8 it's normally very quiet.

    Mace Head had a sustained wind of 96 km/h in the recent hour with a max wind gust of 137 km/h. The highest sustained wind and wind gust at an Irish station since Storm Franklin in February 2022.

    Absolutely gorgeous out in Roscommon, in a way.

    Mild, clear starry skies and some cloud, no streetlights as the power is gone, and the absolute roars of the sky.

    Candles lit indoors, dog snoring, 2 pots of tea under cosies at the ready.

    Still, I'll be bored in an hour so I'd love the power back all the same 😅

    That's the thing I hate about these events. I don't have a back garden (row of terraces in an L-shape) but other people's rubbish blows in around the back of the house and always seems to gather in the corner beside my car. Of course they never come collect their crap so I'm left to pick it out of the grass/corner and dispose of it.

    Lights flickering the last while here in wast Sligo but still have power. The streetlight outside the house is gone off but all the others are still on so I'm guessing that ones been damaged. It's still standing but swaying like it's had a pint too many.

    Sounds like very strong winds put tjere atill but i am in the noisiest room in the house for wind. I can't hear the TV or the phone over it.

    So western Scotland had a gust of a 110 mph . I find it hard to imagine just how strong that is considering what we are having here.

    It seems to have peaked around 17.00 in Cork but the wind is still stubbornly high.

    Power gone since 6pm in dunshaughlin and won't be back until 6pm tomorrow. This is easily the worst wind storm here in years

    This storm may also have the most concentration of nationwide power outages in at least a decade.

    I certainly did not pay much attention to this storm upon arrival as I hate windy weather and normally we get off lightly but not today.

    Alot of people are getting an early night here with no dinner and no power till tomorrow. The last time this happened in dunshaughlin was probably the 1980s.

    Breezy in south Dublin, not really stormy, but this direction is sheltered here by the Wicklow mountains.

    My sis in Cooloney (Makree Castle land to the weather nerds here), Sligo says it is wild there. She was making a snowman there a couple of days ago. The summers there are rubbish compared to here so only a bit jealous of her winter sneachta!
