No, thankfully, neighbours half a mile away have been on and off for an hour.

Apparently NIE teams stood down

Winds to peak here in next 2-3hrs if the metO app is to be believed

Surprisingly no, not even a flicker. This is a vicious storm compared to some other “named storms”. An absolute beast!

[mountain shadow]

Internet has gone off.

[Weegaz]

Surprisingly our electric hasn’t even flickered and we’re in the country

We’ve more wind to look forward to Tuesday 

[Rocheydub]

Bloody weather station only reads gusts in Metres/second, so have to get the calculator out. Just recorded a 30.1 M/S gust which roughly equates to 110 kph gust. About 10/20 higher than what Met Eireann said we've had so far. I was watching the living room window bulge as it happened. Almost like a squall, but no rain falling. Another couple of hours of this ahead of us. Usually we don't lose the sparky in storms but there has been a flicker or 2 of the lights.

[Juuyoku]

No issues with the electricity here as of yet. The bin slid across the garden and has left a nice mess though 

[booferking]

78 mph here worst I've seen in a long time uncles tiles blew off the roof.

Local Ballymena Facebook page showing trees down all over the place, with a number of roads blocked.

Totally crazy. I would say there'll loads of traffic disruption through out the country by the morning.

Serious wind here multiple trees blocking roads being reported in a couple of delivery driver groups I’m in. 
 

Back gate is currently being propped up with the wheelie bin. It’s being held together with half a box of screws already surprised it’s lasted as long. 
 

There’s power outages around here but luckily we’re still on. I’ve candles ready and the big Ryobi torch ready with a freshly charged 5ah battery. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Yeah think I will work from home tomorrow, suppose to be in the Office but stuff driving an 1hours journey away in that.

[O'Maille80]

Wild here in Naas. This must be the most all island event in a long time, as in every where is really stormy at the same time.

[mountain shadow]

It is officially mental out there.

[gary1365]

There’s a tree on a car and van on the Limavady bypass hope everyone is ok. 

[mountain shadow]

Lost two roof tiles. Absolutely crapped myself

[gary1365]

Someone has lost a large trampoline and it’s currently tangled up in some trees. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Well that was a wild night, be interesting to see what damage daylight shows us

[BIG LAD]

What a night! Power still off here since 9.30 last night. Daylight  will  show what damage was done.

[mountain shadow]

What a night, have barely slept.

Bound to be carnage across the Island.
