Trees are in a line facing south so they will have supported each other...:(

Time for me to hide under the covers and sing the ted song

From UKMO,

Been telling a few people about this approaching storm,all they seemed concerned with is "hope we don't get any snow".As the discussion on the radio went yesterday evening - "Forget about the snow,it's the wind we need to be worried about".

Looks like we'll take a hammering in Mayo.
Any idea when this will peak? Hoping for a daylight event as its easier to see what's happening.

Sierra Oscar · 14-01-2015 10:48AM

There have been quite a few ESB adverts across different radio stations this morning warning of the dangers of fallen power lines following storms!

T'will be dark for a good chunk of it I'm afraid.

Be bright for the start of it and the finish of it

the powercheck map will be getting little blue pins all evening i reckon.

what time is this going to start.

cherryghost · 14-01-2015 10:56AM

I'm expecting maybe a Red alert for exposed coasts and orange elsewhere from Met soon. Their initial alert was sent out at 4pm yesterday. Things look a bit worse going by latest runs.

maquiladora · 14-01-2015 10:58AM

You can see the times in the top right corner of the animation posted above.

typhoony · 14-01-2015 10:58AM

if there are going to be red alerts then they need to be up by noon to allow people in the effected areas to prepare.

aisling86 · 14-01-2015 11:00AM

Currently very calm and raining in Macroom Co.Cork, looking at above animation it seems to start about 12 - going to be a very different place in an hour i reckon!

typhoony · 14-01-2015 11:03AM

even though this system is not as severe as last february's storm the core of winds in Rachel are going to last longer.

Xenji · 14-01-2015 11:04AM

Completely calm and sleeting in Castlebar at the moment, still white since yesterday as well, a bit of an ominous sign of what's to come today.

weisses · 14-01-2015 11:06AM

Wesht of Dingle

maquiladora · 14-01-2015 11:08AM

Yeah, at 7pm the wind shifts to a westerly and then the pounding begins.
