well its started here , the electrisity has already gone off twice , its cold ,its lashing down and its quite windy , not major winds yet but like a bad wind in winter!!

night all....i'm off to bed to listen to the wind howling while i am hot and toasty in my bed...

Sully · 09-03-2008 10:44pm

Piste · 09-03-2008 10:49pm

I hate storms, the wind rattles my window and makes it impossible to sleep.

meathstevie · 09-03-2008 10:53pm

A dirty evening in the township of Dungarvan, Co. waterford. Pissing it down and the wind getting stronger and stronger. Nothing special yet though.

Hope ya have toll money to get back to the west - and ya better run like feck if you dump achill in dublin bay - they'll get you for littering.

ninebeanrows · 09-03-2008 11:37pm

Well it's looking like this;

From now until around 4am a strong set of gales will cross the country associated with a rainband which may fall as sleet or even snow if you have elevation on your side (above 200m). the gales will be worst slong the east coast around 2am with mean winds of 50mph gusting to 70mph at times.

The winds will then ease in most places from aroudn 4am, but still breezy.

The center of the storm will then move over the country, which is lucky for us as the winds on its southern edge are extreme (hurricane force), these severe winds may clip along the southern coast line, Kerry, Cork look in the firing line for these with gusts possibly reach 90mph along the far south coast.

Wednesday morning looks like there could be a really wind storm across more northern areas with Dublin set to be affected this could give 80mph winds.

Here's a picture of the beast approaching Ireland, luckily it seems we will escape its' worst.

Calm before the storm my friend. Ever hear that expression

You are in Waterford so the east coast will be hit last. How are the posters on the West coast doing? Do they still have electricity?

Rockee · 09-03-2008 11:39pm

Im starting training for a new job at 9 in the morning. I cant wait for the hour bus journey....(and the bus stop):rolleyes:

Adam · 09-03-2008 11:53pm

Cavan's getting fairly heavy winds, we're quite elevated and exposed here though. Rain to but, with some very strong gusts, but nothing to drop one over yet!

OPENROAD · 10-03-2008 12:04am

Nothing in Dublin yet,Monday evening is supposed to be just as bad.

Loopy · 10-03-2008 12:05am

F*ck off wind, and STFU!

Thrill · 10-03-2008 12:10am

The winds and rain have gotten stronger here. I don't fancy going to work in that in the morning.

mike65 · 10-03-2008 12:10am

Its kicking off here - roof groaning a bit and windows/doors rattling a fraction when it gusts.

Mike.

themadchef · 10-03-2008 12:13am

Same here, roof is making some very scary cracking sounds.

I want my mammy!!!!

Nightwish · 10-03-2008 12:13am

kicked off here in a big way. the digital tv signal is flickering. The wind is howling around the house and the rain is belting off the window.

RoyalMarine · 10-03-2008 12:14am

themadchef · 10-03-2008 12:22am

It's very eerie the way it goes all quiet....then the rain/hail starts pelting the window again and the howl of that wind when it picks up.....

Seems to go mad every now and then? (not me, the wind)

Are U ready for teh storm?
