    The rain is beginning to incessantly drum at our windows here in the NW as the wind forcefully whistles through the rafters. It’s going to be a long night!

    Very wet for the last hour or so in North Donegal.
    No sign of the big winds yet, think they aren't landing until early morning.

    Oh wow, the gusts are extremely strong here in Cork city. A powerful one just woke me up. I’m nervous now at the thought that the orange weather warning doesn’t start here for another two hours!

    Not too bad in waterford, blustery and warm. Few idiots have left bins out and 1 already gone over

    I thought they named it after Dr Aidan Nulty

    They did! It is a typo and they will never now admit to it! :rolleyes:

    Well a "storm by any other name"

    Deluging and wind rising out here. And feels much colder

    Aidan is stamping his hobnailed boot feet.. Bad mannered oaf! NO consideration for folk needing their sleep.

    All chaos here so if I vanish? Worry not.. Cannot get through to my family in Canada

    Here they made a mess of my prescription and I have no pain relief.

    I think the storm is going to be a welcome diversion and the least of my worries.

    Stay safe out there. We are all safe here.

    After waking in East Cork now myself to howling winds, gusting right in off the coast in Ballycotton. Sounds like it's gradually picking up, also very mild.

    Winds picked up in waterford and started to rain again.

    Looks like a right squall line developing east of cork running up the country

    The rain finally stopped.

    I nipped outside to move a couple of planters to a safe corner for the impeding winds later.

    It was strange. Not a breath of wind, perfectly calm.

    It’s been wild all night in Carlow and my 3 year old decided to get up at 4 am. Listening to the wind mixed with fireman Sam. Orange warning only kicking in now but it’s been a wild sleepless night.

    Winds have strengthened here, have to be a bit cautious with external doors, few heavyish periods of rain but mostly fast passing squalls now. Radar shows longer periods in an hour or so.. Galway city

    Doors! I have the old dog lead looped through the grab rail by the door and then round the door handle - and a huge rock behind the door..

    And yes, just the hors d' oeuvres being served now.

    JEEPERS! Such a gust just now! Startled!

    West Mayo offshore

    Woken up by three strong gusts hitting the house in cork city, usually sleep through these

    Edit: seems to be not constant, picking up and then dying for 10 mins And then picking up again
