That's mostly myths , Dogs in particular take emotional ques from their owners ( it's why we " relate " to dogs)

Starting to get windy here now in Cork in the last few minutes.

Caper · 16-10-2017 02:59AM

Kicking off here on Cape Clear now, some rain and the wind has picked up a good bit - more than the 27km/h suggested on nullschool. Did someone say that was about an hour behind?

Quick question - what’s the procedure if a power line falls on your house, does anyone know?

My dog is sound asleep for the last three hours while I'm tearing my hair out googling pictures of hurricane damage

Sensible canine, he knows he can't repair your roof, so why worry himself

My cats were complete bollixes all day, so business as usual.

Any webcams in the south for when the sun comes up. If it comes up.

tinodz · 16-10-2017 03:04AM

My cat is sleeping, and has been asleep all day. She will keep sleeping, and only complain if there is no food when she wakes up. I am sure she would not mind if I blew away along with the house as long as she got some food in the morning... before going back to sleep.

I'd say there will be a few on Periscope too.

banoffe2 · 16-10-2017 03:09AM

Got out of bed to do a bit of security checks, tied gates securely, housed any loose stuff that might go rocking and rolling around the place and moreover cause damage, put the car in for the first time in yonks as there are a few big trees here but they have stood up to many a bad storm, fingers crossed, its one of those things where we have no control over,
Here's wishing that everyone is safe and this time tomorrow evening we will be saying
"what the hell was all that fuss about,
sure twas only a STORM IN A TEA CUP!!

Surreptitious · 16-10-2017 03:10AM

I can guarantee someone will try and surf in this.

Obviously people not getting hurt is the top priority but our cars staying in tact has to be a close second!!!

misscpmfan · 16-10-2017 03:14AM

The calm is rather eerie! >_> I'm in Dublin and everything is dead quiet.

Oops! · 16-10-2017 03:15AM

It's leaving some big waves behind it off the coast of France....

Galway1989 · 16-10-2017 03:21AM

I can't sleep, and I'm trying to enjoy boards while i can. The internet connection will go along with the electricity.. The wind is picking up inland in County Galway now

THe model would suggest 6-9 knots from the NE a n inland Galway , what are you seeing

Looking at the models now you realise how fffing big this sucker is

banoffe2 · 16-10-2017 03:25AM

I remember being sent home from work the day of Storm Darwin, around noon, the storm is so scary and powerful, it was a huge relief to have it over, and still have a roof over our heads, the fact that we were without power and water for a few days was only a small price to pay, the only other bad storm I remember was on Crhistmas eve 1997

alrightiwill · 16-10-2017 03:26AM

i'm supposed to be starting a new course in the Institute of Public Administration tomorrow. I don't know whether it will be open or closed. It's not officially a college so I'm not sure if it's part of the close-down.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestion I could try? Will call early in the morning

Edit: Unreal. Always as soon as I post something, the website gets updated. Closed

STAY SAFE PEOPLE

Forget about it. I doubt it will be open.
