    I think this is meant to be a contest thread not a report thread.

    Will enter with Sherkin 91 knots.

    Sherkin Island 99 knots :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Roches Point or Johnstown Castle for me..I'll say Johnstown castle - 103kts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 659 ✭✭✭wazzoraybelle


    Kinsale Energy recorded 96kts in Feb 2014. I reckon it'll hit 100kts this time. I'm only 25 miles from the platform, nailing everything down at the moment!!

    Roches Point has some shelter to the south, betting on 82kts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭fraxinus1


    Sherkin island 69 knots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,735 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    I don't think the OP meant to include Kinsale energy but only stations on land ... but I expect them to either report 105 knot gusts or stop reporting. Holding my land guess at 91 knots Sherkin Island.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭Bsal


    Cork airport 88kt.

    Cork Airport 90 knots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,735 ✭✭✭Rougies


    How will this be scored? Something like 5 points for the correct station and a max of 10 points for the correct speed, minus 1 point for every knot off?

    And what's the prize for the winner? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭bill66


    Malin Head 98


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,510 ✭✭✭✭Rikand

    I think I've seen 91, 90, 94, 95 kt predictions for Sherkin Island so I'll go with 93 kt for there.

    Sherkin 87


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,735 ✭✭✭✭M.T. Cranium


    My contest entry stands but if there was a station at Kilkee it might top 100 after the eye passes. Mace Head also might surprise around 3-4 pm.

    Not sure if we'll get a full report from Sherkin for the day eventually, they might just be having a power outage (d'ya think dinozzo?)
