    Rain was rough a few hours ago in Dublin 18 but that abated shortly after before some light enough wind came in for a while. Then there was an deafening silence for a short period given what was on the horizon.

    In the last half hour it has started to pick up with a consistent and ominous noise occasionally punctured by swirling stronger gusts.

    Crazy winds now in south Galway. Whole house is shaking. Still have power though, for now.

    It was looking a bit ominous there for a while with the missing reports from Valentina!

    Over 5k premises without power in Galway City alone.

    Gonna be a record breaker I reckon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7 HarriGalway


    its bad alright

    Maybe we won’t notice much difference when it gets worse, seeing as it’s so loud now (clutching at straws here!!)

    Just woke up to the window banging shut here in Dublin 7. Different whistling harmonies going through the house here. I'm sure there's a tune in there somewhere 😃

    Pretty vicious now, sustained roar of wind outside. Power flickered. And there's some debris flying (I think branches).

    Wouldn't like to be out on the Aran Islands currently.😬

    Agree 100% but there was just to many not taking the chance. More damage would have been took in the opinion at the time.

    Parked the car across the road in the large school car park away from any potential I'm hoping. Just seen some stuff that should of been brought it.

    Got asked this evening would I come in early to restart the equipment tomorrow. Politely told the boss to piss off. I work evenings. There all at home tomorrow.

    Was looking for a new job before this bit this event and his comment has heightened the drive.

    Picking up even more now.

    Stay safe everyone.

    Serious gusts here now West Limerick, nor too far from the Estuary. Was asleep but woken by a very loud gust. Power is flickering on and off so expect it to be gone soon.

    still in orange alert in Ennis, red kicks in in 10 mins

    Very windy outside, and we're not even close to the peak yet

    I am expecting some significant damage when this is done

    North of Galway city. It's viscous and genuinely worrying. Power gone. Could see a big electrical flash off in the distance in the darkness outside.

    Well I'm done and it's only an hour in. House actually shaking. Got up to go to the loo and fill hot water bottles in case of a power cut and power just went!!
