Perfectly normal of course, just thought people further north and east might like to know when things begin to change from the dead calm.

We'll only know in the coming hours if it's just typical October weather or the advance part of the storm.

Damp with a bit of rain here in Westport and very very cold.

Will I look like an eejit for taping bins shut and putting everything away, warning family members to do the same?

I'm a bit worried about my single glazed windows here. What should one do if a window gets shattered?

What do the board regulars advise for people on the east coast?

Attempt to go to work or continue to wait and see. I am taking the train and any advice would be appreciated.

Miami weather centre is still calling it as it was called here in Ireland yesterday.... Hitting east/north east Ireland Mon late morning early afternoon, south coast Scotland afternoon early evening... And according to Miami strong to very strong winds with 'damage'.

I'm texting my manager and dropping it in that the busses will be unreliable. If he's working from home then it's a day off for me
