    My mum just rang from Dundalk to say they have no electricity. Wasn't the wind though as they heard thunder so a generation possibly hit by lightning.

    That's the problem with northern wind's, it blow's the tree's at a different direction, even though a tree surgeon might have cut the sail for the Westerlies and south Westerlies...
    The north will batter them.

    Been calming down for 45 minutes in Kerry.

    We didn't have any sharp gusts, just slow increases in wind speed over about 30 seconds. the winds were very sustained.

    power went off a couple of times, but back now.

    yes its the worst so far but it hasn't gone above the yellow criteria at any station as far as I can see. Storms are only named at Orange level.

    Whereas the strong winds earlier were coming from the North, it appears to be coming from a more WNW direction now, in North Co Westmeath when the dog was brought out to go to the toilet.
