Its not a joke! Tornado warning today

darkman2 · 2006-12-03 00:58:19

This is unheard of for an F2+ tornado warning in Ireland. If in the unlikely event you happen to see one let us know on the weather forum. We expect damaging winds in most places tomorrow but this would be extraordinary. Also if a tornado where to strike where should it hit and why?:D…

At this time, a low-level wind maximum of near 40 m/s at 850 hPa should cross Ireland simultaneously. Wind gusts of near that speed appear possible at the surface as well. Given that anticipated values of 0-1 km SRH around 300 m2/s2 are advertised by the 12Z GFS run, and the overall strong shear, it appears that a few tornadoes may occur as well. This will, however, strongly depend on the hard-to-forecast quantity of buoyancy in the lowest few kilometres of the troposphere. If tornadoes occur, the extreme low-level shear suggests that they may be strong, F2+. The trough should move into Ireland around 9:00 UTC and should reach northern England, Wales and southwestern Scotland approximately at 15:00 UTC, before gradually decaying during the evening as it moves further east. The main threat of severe and extremely severe winds warrants at least a level 2. If low-level winds turn out to be even stronger than currently forecast, an upgrade to level 3 may be issued

BE AFRAID!!!!!

A Simpsons quote springs to mind:

"Yes, I would, Kent."

Maybe Karmona might explode with the 'what forum to move this thread into' paradox caused by someone mentioning having a personal issue caused by the weather affecting their motorised satellite dish.

It's feckin dangerous outside.

I just saw the TV ariel crash down from the house across the road. It was one of those old-fashioned 4-foot long metal directional ariels - it came off the supporting mast and was swinging around by the co-ax cable for about 10 minutes before it came crashing down from a height of about 60 foot.

The fence around my house was completely blown down, and a rather expensive outdoor table smashed to bits. My garden is now covered in glass. Dunno about anywhere else mind, but the wind was certainly pretty bad in Galway, particularly this morning.

Ha! Amatures!
Tornadoes rip through Wisconsin on a regular basis! (but never this time of year). And unlike the Southern United States, we don't whinge to the Gov't to send us money to rebuild. We strong-arm the insurance agencies for what we can get and rebuild out of pocket.

I could tell you some VERY cool Tornado stories!

Yeah, it was nuts! Drove down to the prom in Salthill to take a look at the sea and my car was rocking back and forth like crazy. People were walking at funny angles into the wind. Quite a sight to behold.
