This tree came down on a car near Carlow Town earlier, thankfully the driver is OK. My station in Tullow Co. Carlow just had its highest gust of the day at 96.5kmh at 14:03. #StormBram has a lot of damage to do yet as strongest winds track North.

Multiple reports of sudden strong winds in Cork last night including near Midleton and Ballincollig. Sounds more like a downburst than a tornado but as photo from one home shows it ripped some tiles off. Reports of damage to outside structures too.
