    East Wicklow, lost power last night (back this morning) and trees down. It seemed to be NW winds instead of the usual S or SW and this seemed to have more of an impact than some stronger winds earlier this autumn

    Yes the wind direction affects differently.

    Most of the houses nearest northern facing Atlantic shore here are either " back to the north", or where I live, gable end to the north ( built 150 years ago many of them. )

    What they call " vernacular architecture"

    They even(!) set the chimneys for the prevailing winds. Getting the stove to light in a northerly....
    Because although most of the winds are s/sw, when the northerlies come in they are stronger and fiercer. And colder...

    Wish I could measure wind speeds out here .
