Yep its blowing full throttle here now, just putting up the sand bags up against the windows.Here's the wind speed at surface to 1000ft as of 18:00hrs
I can hear it blowing down the chimney on the lovely fire I have going but we are warm an cosy here. No going out again for us tonight. Reheating dinner from yesterday and watching a DVD that the kids got and enjoying having family around

Thats going to be some serious wind power coming blasting through here the middle of the night,150 kmh inland gusts, theres going to be some serious high swells around the coast at high tide.
Does anyone know for how long it is meant to last?

facetowardsfront: There are already massive sweels. I wasn't listening the the liars Met Office, are they saying 150mph? It looks bad but the one last week looked worse although it went north of us. The worst of it is just hitting the Mizen head about now and you might be able to judge yourself the speed from the difference between this pic and the one from an hour and a half ago.
Looks like were going to get the full wack of it in about an hour, yep met.ie STATUS RED

jamesa1: Well just as long as its not you Maddog
Ah would ya whist up and welcome to the forum. 
MADDOG69: What? We'd lose the 2 'mens's rights activists' (I'm being kind lol), a hacker, a Orange/Dutch Rally driver, a Civil Servant, and some of you wans that are far too away to be ridin' anyway .
Well, I hope everyone will be safe, and obviously not just those from forum here, but everyone out there.
I am not too worried, my property sits quite snug, my oldest building is around 500 years I think and still standing, so I'd say this is quite a safe spot
but thank you for the comforting words 
Love storms actually, and we are cuddled up here and are listening to the howling
but worried for those in Cork, sounds like they are hit hard

Rid CS of the above and you've eliminated the best action. The place would be very mundane without a bita Cork. Come on!...Admit it!

Yes Cork appears to be getting the worst of it at the moment. hopefully Donegal will escape the worst.

I know I know.... it would be like eliminating all wars and then they'd be no great War movies anymore... mundane indeed.
