Bet the tv licence man will be out knocking on doors tomorrow everyone will be home glued to their tv watching the news and weather.

Question: has there ever been a country-wide red alert for wind forces before this? I don't think I remember seeing one before, but maybe that was just me not paying attention.

There is a cool live tracker here:

I feel happy for met eireann. For the other 51 weeks of the year they literally have to say "scattered showers with a chance of sunny spells" - this must be like Christmas for them

Is no one actually sheeeeting themselves? like it has to be the first time in history that a whole country will be flattened and all trees reduced to matchsticks.. We'r not talking umbrellas inside out and a quick reverse áss jig and all is fine.. Like this is MEGASTORMATIC..
Good bye my friends

It looks impressive until you realise that a 3 year old could draw a better Ireland than that.

Yeah I seen that in a MEGASTORMATIC movie before.. All the air and stuff was sucked into the TERRIFYING STORM the night before.... And then the following day all hell and fury came in from the sea carrying huge ships, submarines and mackeral.. And flattened the whole country and everybody was kill-did(apart from the cameraman).

Latest projections say it's not meant to get much stronger than 55km in Dublin.

Rain here in Blackrock Co Louth and wind has increased...

Like I'm not rooting for anyone to die or anything...but also I reaaaally don't want to come on here this time tomorrow and see the trolls on here posting, "I told you I'd be fine..."

Again based on what analysis. The centre looks bang on track and the most damaging winds are well to the east of the centre. Dublin will get a good belt.

The west is actually not where the greatest winds are in a storm of this nature , even though the centre is tracking up the west coast

Looks like it's heading in a northwesterly direction?

I decided to sign up here to ask for the expert opinion of ye lads on this hurricane thing...

I have a collection of luxury cars, 172 7 Series, 162 S Class, 2011 XJ, which I'm selling for a new A8, and a 171 Range Rover.

The first question is:

Should I put the motors into the garage? Will that protect them from any damage from this ex-hurricane or tropical storm or whatever the füćk it's called now? Is there anything else I can do to protect them?

Also, I live in Swords in Dublin, will that be badly affected?

I was going to go for a drive tomorrow, would that be advisable?

Cheers lads, and remember, stay safe;).

Thinly veiled I'm absolutely loaded and want to show off post...:pac:

But then again, you live in Swords. That's a bit of a contradiction.

I would advise you to park them in my garage and leave the keys with me. They'll be safe there.
