So this Hurricane

Seems we a hurricane bearing down on us for Monday. Over in the weather forum they are talking flashlights, taping up windows and AA batteries.

Should i be digging a bunker in my back garden or just taking in my patio furniture and more importantly my wife is getting her hair cut today shall i tell her it's a waste of time as her hair do will be ruined come Monday.

God speed Ireland.:(

I'm getting two hatches installed in my house as I type this.

Just so I can batten them down.

Distant thunder rumble,
Rumble hungry like the Beast,
The Beast it cometh, cometh down,

There may be flight cancellations and diversions. Ferries could also be affected.

I've been playing gazebo roulette for a while now. I think it's time to call it a day.

A storm in a teacup. The media hype these things

I'm buying a kite.

It's hyped up. It's a hurricane now but by Monday it'll be calmed down to.typical Autumn storm level.

Don't make any uneccesary hair appointments

It will be a post tropical cyclone by the time it reaches us on Monday.

The expertise on this thread is useful. Thanks. The meteorologists had me slightly worried.

I think we just need that mash up of the Galway Girl and the big blow from a couple of years ago.

apparently she's heading out to the hurricane on a rib as we speak

jonon9 · 14-10-2017 11:14AM

A bit of wind and lots of rain that's all we get.

It looks like it’s fizzling out and becoming a bit of a autumn Atlantic storm and not much more than that.
It still has potential to be nasty enough and I would suggest removing loose stuff around your house, but it's no longer looking likely to be a hurricane.

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".

You potentially might not be after Monday though. It could have left you and shacked up in a neighbour's
