I think this is actually going to be worse than expected. This system is developing quicker than expected. Think quite a portion of n.ireland should currently be under amber warning!j not just areas high lighted at the mo. I expect a bit if damage from this to be honest !

5000 without power in Cork. It's mad out at the minute!

Waves of rain lashing down in Belfast. Between xmas shopping and the weather, traffic at a crawl - inching my way home on a bus. sounds dire in Cork..

[Rocheydub]

Vicious here in Dublin City centre. Swirling, gusting and hammering down rain! My cycle home tonight should be fun!!!

Lashing here, wind picking up a wee bit. Got the dinner on early just in case :lol:

[cue_killar]

Just woke up... Had planned to go Christmas shopping haha. I guess that's waiting another day. It's mad outside right now!

[skywatcher]

I've finally swum home. On the radio, warning about high winds and surface water (as if I hadn't already found that out, lol). Drains already overflowing, and it's only just started here. There's going to be localised flooding for sure.

[mountain shadow]

That was some rain in Belfast.

Been on bus 35 minutes andonly gone about 1/2 mile.

[ronan]

A definite calm before the.storm now! It's weird as half an hour ago it would have blown the head off you!

[ronan]

Anyone see Frank Mitchell on UTV there? He was getting battered by wind and rain! Madness!

[The Cashel Cockney]

Just saw that Kent railway station down in Cork City has had its roof collapse due to the wind with three injured. Be careful out there folks!

Lol he really was getting battered! Just seen the BBC 6.30 forecast there! Showed a serious amount of snow showers coming in overnight and into tomorrow. I expect some flash warnings over the next 24 hours. With the air so unstable anything can happen.

[Beaufort12]

Sad to report that a women was killed in westmeath, tree fell on her car

[bobbarley]

Very strange strong winds for about an hour and now calm with clear sky. Storm can't of passed yet?
