Storm Isha - There's no branches down in my garden / Met Éireann were too cautious/not cautious

Mr.Crinklewood

Mods delete if required.

Thought it would be an idea not to clog the main thread up with stuff like this.

I'll go first...

Location:- Dublin

Viewpoint:- Not a storm.

Issue 1:- Not a storm, as a test i left the green bin in the back garden last night, when i got up this morning it had NOT been knocked down. I had also left the green bin in the same location on Friday night and it WAS knocked down...what does that tell you?? ( tells me i put stuff into the bin on Saturday).

Issue 2:- My dog walking class has been cancelled this morning, as a result neither myself or my dog will get a walk today.

Issue 3:- I have a flight to Nuremberg later today and Nuala Carey has yet to come to my house to tell me if it will be safe to travel to the airport, in addition to this Michael O'Leary is no longer answering my calls.

Ussue 4:- Martin King has drank all my tea.

Reckless Abandonment

Nuala Carey bit, made me laugh..

Lid of my green bin blew open so it's currently a yellow warning for me

Such a damp squid, as usual.

Maybe, but are you ahead of the 11 am onwards starting time

Ezeoul

But the warning only comes into affect starting at 11am!

I want a dry squid level storm please! Or is it a soaking wet squid level I should be looking for. Anyone got the table for squid warnings?

You might want to check that bin again OP...

Sure tis grand

I'm nervous about this one, forecasted sustained gusts in excess of over 80kph for a 24hr period will no doubt cause damage, (East Wicklow if that matters).

daheff

Ah jaysus bring the poor doggie for a walk yourself. You don't need a class to walk it!

Covid19

Ahhh, all the poor Dubs getting all bothered about a few gusts.

On a hill, near Knock airport here.

Seriously NOT looking forward to this storm.

A lot of planes currently circling around Dublin airport as they cannot land due to high winds, plenty of storm activity happening already

Is that a pedal stool?

My cat's ears are back at a 60 degree angle as he looks out the window, so I'd say we're a yellow here so far.

Met Éireann should have had a red warning for my house.

Of course you're right!

Met Eireann should switch over to your method of storm classification i.e. does it knock over a bin in a Dublin Garden. Simple and something everyone can understand. Amazing no one thought of it before all those coloured warnings stuff..

You could be correct. Cats for Wind. I find squirrels and magpies for cold spells are key indicators!

Same with my two. They have no interest in going outside. Tells me all I need to know.

Met Éireann should have had a fluffy pink warning for my house.

Overhyped nonsense - at least for ninety percent of us. Coastal areas always get it bad agreed, but inland, meh, it's very rare to get a real bona fide storm, and actually in my time the worst damage has been done by a ten minute squall during the 'storm'. Those squalls can happen, but again, rare. I'm going about my business as normal anyway.

For everyone in west/north-west I wouldn’t be going out today, even if I didn’t have MS and can be blown over by a breeze. I’m not going outside of my apartment here in Dublin as I am. There’s a lot of people ought to stay in. It will be over in a day or so.

A Ryanair and Aer Lingus on go around again and Emirates which was supposed to be down at 11.20 having another go shortly. Horrible day to be flying

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121647671#Comment_121647671

A lot of cancellations. Looks like Egyptair just aborted a take-off attempt, probably started to lose directional stability during the roll.

Correction - it landed successfully!

Ryanair from Warsaw going around a second time. Policy is usually no third attempt, so maybe diversion to airport less affected by winds.

edit - I see she’s flying east to UK

Aer Lingus Airbus just landed successfully.

I'm over in West wicklow, hopefully the east west partition will protect me

A lot of diversions

I seen a few damp squids flying overhead, but we will wait until the rather rotund lady starts singing before I call it.

Gusser09

It's absolute bollix once again. Something serious will happen one of these days and nobody will pay any attention to a warning.

It's windy and wet. Enough said.
