A hurricane AND Russians?

We do have exciting times ahead

Beanntraigheach · 15-10-2017 01:22PM

Is there a chance the track could bend?

It's not set in stone so to speak. It could shift slightly west or (seemingly more likely at the moment) east, with consequent harder impacts east of the eye.

Models are getting pretty close to aligning with each other, but there's not a great deal of past data to rely on for something like this on this side of the Atlantic, so while Ireland is pretty sure in some capacity, it could still sweep a fair brunt of it against the western coast of the UK, up the Irish sea.

Not a chance my Hindu friend.

Is there a time scale on when it should hit and when it should disapate?

branie2 · 15-10-2017 01:37PM

I heard those things are awfully loud

Varying depending on where you are, but roughly 8AM to 8PMish seems to be the current info. Err earlier for south and later for northeast. Peaking generally over the late afternoon/early evening, but dangerous conditions all day (again, depending where you are).

You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.

Thanks for the thoughtful response, Samaris, but I'm afraid my comment was a lame 'Simpsons' reference

Who'll lose the electricity?

RobbingBandit · 15-10-2017 02:04PM

So I went door to door selling hurricane insurance for the last few hours do I have to honour such policies or can I spend the money?

A red warning means not going out unless absolutely necessary (ie something urgent, not work or school).
We get red warnings here in the south of France occasionally for flooding, schools are closed, you don't go to work unless you are in the emergency services etc.

so are employers going to let most of the south of Ireland not come to work tmw?

Keep an eye on irish rail site for service updates I think their twitter account is good.

TrustedApple · 15-10-2017 02:43PM

In cork myself.

My office is closed tommarow.

Just on bus to go get my laptop. I live on the other side of the city away from it. The joys of buying a house on the north side ha.

Ha bet I know the losers you work for

AndyBoBandy · 15-10-2017 03:10PM

Is anyone going down to the Cork/Kerry coast at about 2am when the eye of the storm is expected to hit landfall to shoot at it?

And if guns aren’t your thing, I think another group could be formed to go and meet it head on and masturbate furiously towards it.

Either way, that mutha-fluckin storm will be shot at! One way or another.

Tuco88 · 15-10-2017 03:10PM

Id rather take my chances with the strom, than live in the north side of cork &#55357;&#56833;

The undersea southside shopping centre... I like it!

You can't take a day off school into the grave with you.

There'll be a lot of disappointed people on the Weather forum if it turns out to be a damp squid. They're always putting these weather 'events' on a great big pedal stool. I expect some of them are trying to persuade their parents to panic-buy essential items and board the windows up, in anticipation of what will doubtless be remembered for many years as "The Great Blustery Day of 2017".
