    I better go to bed. I have to be up early in the morning to ring work telling them I won't be in.

    Edit: @Gamebred

    You don't seem to understand how every day items that people have in their gardens, etc., can cause havoc, injury, and even death?

    Something as simple as this, where people won't even consider taking tools and other items indoors that can cause damage by stronger than normal winds.

    We're not used to it, so events like this can easily happen.

    Hopefully you wake up in your bed, in your house.

    I travel to the Caribbean every year will be heading again in 2 weeks, these types of storms are daily occurrences to islands with wooden shacks and they go about their business, Ireland has crapped itself (well the idiots in tesco now stock piling)

    How will you show your face there after your people let you down like this?

    Not even a drop of rain has landed in Dublin yet tonight, I believe as the great President would say this is FAKE NEWS, I wouldnt say met eireann even have the tech to track Hurricanes never mind predict route and speed of winds, If theres as much as a garden chair moved in anybodys garden east of roscommon I'll run down O Connell st in my nude.

    There is people in Tesco right now stock pilling supplies ffs, some bad weather for a few hours is all that will be happening not some ripping hurricane or tornado, absolutely no need to shut Colleges and Schools down especially in the east.
    This is the first time a hurricane has been tracked this far east in the Atlantic.

    It's not to hit Dublin till tomorrow afternoon.

    Even if Met Eireann don't have the tech as you claim they can use information from other services such as the US Hurricane centre to make predictions.

    Nah, not the next name in the sequence, 'Philippe' is next. N was Nate.

    I suppose I have to admit that, yes this is sarcasm.

    I wrote a wee poem :) for the big wind :)


    All calm and eerie,
    Across the country this evening dreary,
    While little men flocked, to ipads weary,
    Tis not a storm but wet and windy,
    They did exclaim, mad and bleary.

    Come toil the bells did at 1,
    Time to batten down, said not one,
    Wrong again that lot,
    Cracked they are,
    Precautions to take, I shall not.

    Toil the bells at 3 they did,
    While little men slept carefree with glee,
    Out far at sea winds did muster,
    While in their cots there came a bluster.

    Come 6 it did, upon landfall,
    Crashing down, on one and all,
    Oh save me save me the little men implored,
    But it was too late for winds were ashore.

    The little men scurried and hurried,
    But the winds never ceased,
    Crashing down on all, more and more,
    Treating little men, with such abhor,
    Til all were deceased and heard of nevermore.

    I found a signal hidden inside our own satellite system, and the clock is ticking.

    I'm quite sure Higgins has heard of 'the calm before the storm' even if you havent? Re-gale(snort) us please with how they actually have 'the storm before the storm' in the Caribbean.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 429 ✭✭JimmyMcGill


    Is that bad or even worse?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro

    If I get stopped for speeding on the M50 in the hurricane, can I say the wind blew me over the limit?

    Opheeeeelia,
    You're breaking my heart.
    You're shaking my confidence daily.

    I know this has been said before and please believe me when I say I don't want to be alarmist but you should all consider taking the clothes in off the line.

    Just don't tell the wife that you got arrested just because you were getting blown all over the place.

    Any man that writes poetry is a homo.
