While the rest of the country has already been at the brunt of the hurricane, it looks like Ophelia is well and truly on its way to Dublin.
Pictures and videos have been shared across social media showing the escalating damage to the city including huge trees falling over on Leeson Street and in Ranelagh.
Here’s some of the insane photos and videos captured so far:
