Ireland is facing the brunt of Storm Eunice after a wicked morning on the south and western coasts saw thousands lose power.
Gusts of over 100km/h were recorded at some points, though the red weather warning that had been in place for Cork, Kerry and Clare has now expired.
However, the status orange and yellow alerts for the majority of the island remain in place.
The status red wind warning for Waterford expires at 11am.
But it'll be a wet and windy afternoon for those on the eastern coast in particular.

Here's the latest prediction from Met Eireann as to when Storm Eunice will have passed the island.
Friday afternoon
"There will be further falls of rain, sleet and snow with thunder in places. Disruption to travel can be expected. It will stay windy and gusty through the afternoon, with fresh to strong westerly winds, and it will be cold with sunny spells and blustery wintry showers. Afternoon temperatures of just 2 to 6 degrees." a forecast reads.
If you take a look at the wind charts, it appears that the strongest gales will be gone from the east coast around 1pm, but there is still a high risk in other areas.
Things will have calmed slightly by 7pm on Friday, with gusts falling to around 41km/h from a high of over 100km/h on Friday morning.
The forecast continues: "Early tonight there will be clear spells and scattered wintry showers. Rain will move into the south and west overnight, falling as sleet or snow in places, and will turn heavy in the southwest later. Lowest temperatures of -2 to +2 degrees, with moderate to fresh westerly winds becoming southerly."
Saturday morning
Here is when things will seem most peaceful weather wise, with winds falling further to a standard 10km/h or so on the north west coast.
Danger still lurks for the south, but things should be back to normal wind-wise at 5pm.
Met Eireann say: "A wet start on Saturday with falls of rain, sleet and snow in the morning, clearing to showers as milder air extends from the west by afternoon. Further outbreaks of rain will move in from the Atlantic through the evening. Afternoon temperatures will recover to highs of 5 to 10 degrees north to south. Staying quite breezy in fresh and gusty westerly winds."
