@birdingstandard @MeathBirder @BMcCloskey_98 @JohnMur92523137 @cianbirder @Oileaniarthair brown envelope in the post, mind you I was covered in brown after this one lol.
Dear #Donegal is there any chance you lot will cop yourselves on, some of us would like to get home at some stage!
@discoverirl And not a hotel in sight!
@BMcCloskey_98 @bobolink5 There’s some seawatching to be had in the morning I reckon!
Excuse the language, Jesus h Christ!! Full blown hurricane force at Kinsale Alpha. #StormEllen that gusts to 180kph.
That’s a new sustained windspeed Irish record for the month of August, previous was 83kph at Malin Head August 1973, 1 kph short of the highest gust recorded for the month of August in Claremorris in 1999.
Roche's Point SW46 knots (85)kph gust to 77 knots 88mph or 143 kph #StormEllen #cork
Monkey puzzle tree is no more!

Roche's Point SW46 knots (85)kph gust to 77 knots 88mph or 143 kph #StormEllen #cork
From 13 knots at 2126 to 54 knots at 2214! #StormEllen
@IomJD About 26 nautical miles offshore.
@KildareMet Looks like it was 90knots just after 2000, I didn’t see that!
Sustained violent storm 11 at kinsale Alpha, 68 knots, 78mph or about 126kph. Cork harbour, east cork and west Waterford take heed.
Kinsale rig now recording gusts to 80 knots 92 mph or just short of 150 kph fugroweather.com/WeatherMonitor… #StormEllen
