    Nothing to speak of of interest during the night in my part of Kildare. Local hills may have been doing some sheltering. A few small twigs and branches at the top of the hill and loads of leaves but just a typical autumn blowy night.

    Just back from a damage assessment. We lost 4 trees that stood through the big storm earlier this year. Lots of branches broken also. :( A lot of small debris to be cleared up.

    14km north of Wexford town.

    From looking at the ESB network outage map there must be quite a decent scattering of trees and tree limbs down around the country after last night.

    Went a drive last night to see if there was much damage in my area, lots of leaves and small branches on the road, seen the odd big branch that had already been shifted off the road as well.

    It was also lashing the entire time in this video, if you notice I never used my wipers once, this is because I apply "RainX" to my windows which just makes the water scoot off. Highly recommended!!

    77 km/h (41knts) was the highest gust that I recorded here in North West Connemara... We class that as a nice day round these parts!

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    Maybe I'm living in a bubble?! That was by far the worst weather I've seen in years in North Dublin. The entire house was shaking with the strong winds most of the night. The storms from last year were no where near as bad. A lot of trees and branches down around the area.

    Funny, it really does depend in the direction of the wind. The same strength from one direction can cause chaos, but from the other, nothing, because something unknown is blocking or directing it somewhere else.

    Was windy here in Limerick last night alright, but not a patch on the Feb 12th Storm.

    Southerly gales are not that common here, so maybe your area is usually sheltered from the more typical westerly/southwesterly gales.

    Try living in the west ,during last winter and that would be considered walk in the park weather

    I'm not complaining :) Although when you see the neighbours wheelie bins being thrown around like leaves.. it's a little unsettling.

    Was pretty wild around 3am, was awoken with rain hammering against window, a squall must have pushed through as the rain was torrential with really high gusts but then abated quickly 15 minutes after.

    Would definitely class last nights event as a notable storm in these parts. My station in a residential area recorded regular gusts near 80km/h and over 90km/h recorded at the near coastal Waterford Airport. Also 30.5mm of rain recorded over the storm period.
