Strong Winds Are Wreaking Havoc On The Streets Of Dublin

Strong winds are causing turmoil on our roads at the moment.

Dublin Fire Brigade has responded to several incidents today caused by the powerful southeasterly winds which are battering the country at present.

One tree toppled on Cabra Road, while another fell in Rathfarnham severely damaging a car.

The fallen tree on the Cabra Rd has been cleared, road reopened. Thanks to @DubCityCouncil crews for their help @aaroadwatch @DCCTraffic pic.twitter.com/vYM1kDPQk6

A Pembroke Street building's roof was also damaged by the gales.

This scene was also photographed by Lovin Dublin reader Anderson Leahy, who spotted this billboard ripped off its frame due to the wind, near the 3Arena.

Be careful out there, folks.
