    It doesn't exacerbate damage no, but I don't wish for events that harm others just so I get some personally enteraining weather show.

    I just prefer forecasting, observing and warning in the hope of protecing life and limb.

    Several people have been injured this evening already. That's several people too many and our thoughts should also be with them.

    its a storm not the end of the world,will you get over your self and stop tring to get a rise out of people.

    Just had a 60mph gust in Galway city!

    Whoooshe, i think you'll be getting higher than that in the next 4 hours too, with the tightest gradient a little bit further south than earlier consensus.

    The descriptions of this event in the press half sound like a mini tornado?

    At the time of the accident [not known at the time] I reported my own highest gust of 49km/h and EICK reported [by another poster] a gust of 111km/h at the same time.

    A powerful convection gust it has been described as in this thread.

    The very heavy rain which precipitated the event lowered the air pressure locally and a violent downdraft occurred.

    Well you still have electricity/broadband/phone signal so that's a positive! Pretty wild in Galway city now...

    the weather for tomorrow is not too bad...windy ( nothing crazy) with passing showers, majority of them in the west, pretty cold though...all should be grand for flying.

    Nothing is the end of the world, no one except those who wished for a deadly storm are getting a rise. It brings bad form to the respectable pursuit of weather forecasting and I for one want to distance myself from that type of commenting. If you don't that's not a reflection on me.

    Aircraft can take off in very high winds so I can't imagine there being any delays or cancelations.

    In Central Donegal, had a good heavy down pour a short while ago,but was expecting more interesting Cold Front show with some Hail and Thunder, does anyone know were the front is right now?

    Winds are still relatively lite, slowly freshing, but was thinking it would be much stronger at this stage.

    Some violent winds will begin to push into the west in next 1-2 hours. Donegal may be affected a little later than orginally thought, more towards 8-10pm as system is a little bit further south now than thought earlier.

    Its not one for the faint hearted mind, landing in wind is a bad experience.

    But the inbound has to be able to land first...

    You're new to these parts obviously! :)

    Probably something to do with experiencing the awesome power of nature, reviewing the charts produced by the various forecast models and making their own predictions.

    No one wants to see anyone injured.

    Have you ever stood on a mountain top during a storm, or been on-board a boat during one? Awesome doesn't even begin to come close to describing what you experience.

    I personally LOVE periods of bad weather as it is interesting and can be challenging.

    Alternatively we could start a discussion on the state of the economy? Nah, I'm sticking with the weather :D

    North shore of Galway Bay. Windows bending like elastic. Listening to two roof tiles so far that have been worked loose in just last hour. Sounds like a jumbo jet parked outside. Feeling a bit like the three little pigs...

    It's bad out, went for a walk and was more like an involuntary jog.
