    why? with maximum gusts of 65 mph predicted it was only ever going to be a standard winter depression. 60 mph gusts during winter are no big deal for coastal areas.

    is it that you are underwhelmed by the rainfall totals rather than wind?

    Felt like the worst storm in a long time in South Dublin. The gusts where very violent and the roof and internal structure of the house were making noises I have never heard them before - an assortment of loud bangs cracks thuds and creaking noises. Also looks like we may lose a tree in the garden through a combination of wind and ground saturation :( I hope the wind dies down soon.

    Feckin' mad in Cork - woken up several times during the night. The fact my street is like a wind tunnel didn't help.

    There was something different about last nights storm. It's like it spent 4 or 5 hours last night trying to suck the roof off the house in between trying to blow it off :confused:

    Not too bad here in Waterford. Only 9mm of rain since midnight but wind is strong in gusts. Unfortunately my station is semi blocked to SW winds so not get accurate readings on wind speeds today. Wind is strong though.

    Lots of rain and strong winds, pretty standard winter storm though considering I grew up on the west coast
