    Storm Éowyn batters Ireland as 560,000 homes without power and wind records broken

    6am:

    More than 560,000 people are waking up without power on Friday morning as Storm Éowyn has made landfall.

    Ireland’s all-time wind record, set in 1961 during Storm Debbie, appears to have been broken at Mace Head. 

    Met Éireann say that a gust of 183km/h was recorded at the weather station there.

    The mean speed of 130km/h at the same station would be considered a hurricane force wind.

    Wind observations at 5am

    Max gusts (km/h):
    – Mace Head 183 (Red)
    – Knock 139 (Red)
    – Shannon 137 (Red)

    Note: The record gust for Ireland is 182km/h

    As of 6am, over 560,000 homes, farms and businesses (as at 6:00 a.m.) are without power

    ESB Networks say they will “continue to closely monitor the storm impact on power supplies and all available resources stand ready to mobilise once safe to do so.”

    Red warnings remain in place until 10am for Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford.

    They are in place for Cavan, Monaghan, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wicklow, Roscommon, Tipperary, Clare and Galway until 11am and Donegal until midday.
