Looks like it could be a nasty one this, parts of the country under a red warning.
Will be unusual with the winds coming from N/NW which could see quite a few trees brought down as they usually grow to brace themselves from a S/SW wind.

While Irish airports are yet to report any major disruption stemming from the storm, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport has cancelled more than a hundred flights due to heavy winds caused by it, the airport, one of Europe's main hubs, said in a statement.

Every day is a school day, I didn't previously know that! Thought it was always sun that dictated the growth direction of plants and trees.

Thigmomorphogenesis is the process by which plants change their growth patterns in response to mechanical stimulation, such as touch, wind, or raindrops.
