    Blue skies, and a breeze here in west Galway. Made a good drop of rain last night

    Woke up at 5.30 to the worst wind since Darwin, all clear now apart from the odd gust. Some of the young bushes have been sent diagonal but no other damage I can see. I think we got away with it in NW Kerry

    Whoever owns that Hyundai should do the lotto.

    Sun and blue skies now. Could nearly go for a walk.

    Has turned out to be surprisingly nice now here in south Conamara. Still very windy but nowhere near enough to keep one inside. Lovely walking weather right now, bound to change I'm sure before long.

    Fierce wind and rain early this morning, in south west Dublin, I thought the roof was going to come off! Good thing I lay the empty wheelie bins down last night too.

    Brightened up for a little while but getting very dark overhead, raining again and the wind is picking up again... (11am)

    Maybe you were roofied? I too am in the same area and it was absolutely wild, noisiest night we've had in years, sky lights were sounding like we had drummers on our roof.

    Nah not at all. Just being honest. I’ve no doubt the other poster who posted before me also in North Dublin who had terrible conditions was honest too.

    Obviously some areas escaped the worst of it, even in relatively close proximity.

    Whats the significance of that?

    A spring low tide should be way out. 100 metres from the shore. Wind is pushing water into the bay. River at the end of the beach adding to it. Could be nasty at 4 o clock when its back near high tide.

    It’s funny how people can post weather reports in their sleep.

    Just because you didn’t get woken up does not mean the weather wasn’t bad.

    Maybe you had one whiskey too many last night

    One study showed that About 7% of people slept through a highly damaging earthquake in California

    Are you talking about my posts? I’ve been awake since 6.00am and woke up numerous times during the night as normal. Also I don’t drink.

    Sky News is a joke. Your one on the beach as Milford-on-Sea pretending to be unable to stand steady while a family with young children calmy walks walks behind her. Then she points at some tiny pebbles that got washed up on the beach. Vicious stuff...

    I am one of those people who could sleep through an earthquake.

    The wind and rain woke me more then once last night, so I knew it was bad!

    I didn't look out, though, I hid under my duvet, severe weather makes me anxious.

    Seems calm here, yesterday evening was wild.

    Should have posted here and not in the tech thread, sorry mods.

    Looking at the projected wind speeds for the rest of today on Met.ie, we should remain under the orange warning until early tonight.

    The Germans have a different system that's been in place for decades. Members of the public can pay for their name to go to a low or a high. The money raised is used by Berlin Free University.

    I'm a light sleeper, and houses dont get much more exposed than mine. Woke several times this morning thinking, when is this going to hit? Was getting blown away yesterday evening.

    Clare Fire & Rescue weren't long removing it, not one but three engines on the scene. Admittedly, some of the gusts between 7.30 & 8.30am were the most violent I've ever experienced. Not far short of storm Darwin levels.

    I think the rain is more of a feature here in the Northwest - flooding all over the place and we just had another wild sleety mix.
