    Must be the sub station at "Back of the wall" cos i have power on Avenue road.
    Although I'm not there but can check the CCTV from work here in Dublin, it looks wild outside alright :0
    Power came back on, guess we could be for a wild night alright. Just went out and took the bin back in, don't fancy picking the contents of it up from the street in the morning.

    Can't say that bang on my roof that I just heard sounded too healthy! Still raining here. Had a few gusts just there that sounded like the wind is going through the house. Neighbour has left their gate open- gonna be banging for the next god knows how long.

    Didn't go here either just off the Castletown Road. Shall unplug everything later in case there's power surges or whatever.

    It's amazing how much more wild the weather appears when its from the S or SE. It hits my bedroom window directly and sounds like the end of time :)

    Still though 1-2 hours sleep before a 12 hour early shift isn't good :(

    Just an interesting observation here, as the wind direction shifted from SW to SE over the course of today the Dublin/Wicklow mountains seem to have turned from rain shield into rain generator for the Dublin region. Orographic lift that was sucking up the precip from the SW earlier is now pepping it it up for east facing slopes and also deflecting it into Dublin.

    Defintely. That's what I was saying on Saturday. Once you get SE to E winds and rain you get a soaking in these parts.

    Got 43.1mm up to midnight and 1.4mm after - a total of 44.5mm!

    Looking at Sat24 now can start to see wave forming in the Celtic Sea that may (or will) bring the next batch of heavy rain to eastern side of the country.

    Now looking like the worst is staying offshore.but 10 or 20 miles either way and major flooding could make this be a concern.

    WOW! I see 225mm in the mid Irish Sea!!! That's just nuts.

    As you say Red, 10 or 20 miles either way could make a big difference.

    A house across the road from me has been having an extension built over the last few weeks. Lots of roof tiles on the road this morning.

    Anyone tell me how far offshore is the heavy rainfall on that map and when is that forecast for?

    Radar seems very inaccurate lately, currently raining quiet heavily here but doesn't look like much on met.ie.
