    The other thread is getting a little hard to follow with all the chat comments in there. We'll leave it for technical discussion and analysis and use this one for everything else. That way everyone will find the info they want and where they want it. ;)

    Welcome all to Club X-Katia, pull up a stool, crack yourself a cold one and settle in for a bumpy nite. (just totally put the mockers on it, haven't I)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,519 ✭✭✭irish1967


    Fire on, garden furniture away. Laptop and iPhone charged. Candles and torches ready to go. Car in garage. Just waiting for our visitor to arrive.

    Wonder if this will be another 911 that I will remember for years to come.

    Strongest winds could be a bit further north than that but that should still be a good location. :)

    Finglas

    15.3 degrees with the sunny sign on the weather station

    We're leaving Maynooth at around 7:20am so it'll be a bit of race, Achill Island is the easiest location to reach, hope to be there before 10:30am. Achill Island has two prime locations for a storm like this: the Atlantic Drive and Menawn Mountain at 466m ASL.

    15 miles from Donegal coast. Awful day. But rain has stopped in last hour or so. Calm before the storm - definitely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    Hi guys, up in County Derry here! Sustained wind earlier was about 23mph, with gusts up to 38mph, according to the Met Office. It's eased off a little now- 19mph sustained, 32mph gusts. Just a little bit of rain so far. Quite looking forward to have tonight and tomorrow has to bring!

    If you were passing my door in Galway i'd give you the hand-held anemometer, I'm not gonna get a chance to go chasing.

    Eeerily clam here now.

    Fairly high tide but the sea is relatively calm too in Clew Bay.

    Ominous signs that something BIG is coming, I fear this could be a Biggie, becareful out there folks perilous conditions lay ahead.

    Wonder if Achill will get any Tornadoes this time around? Next time a biggie like this is on its way stormwatchers should plan a camping trip to the Bills Rocks off Achill. ;)

    I, eh, borrowed it from work...They didn't need it anymore and it was probably headed for the bin so let's call it recycling.

    I'll try it out tomorrow, there's a little bit of open land behind me, but I always get strange looks from the neighbours.
