A Battered Mars Bar · 16-10-2017 06:59AM

Absolute shambles by the government yet again. A status red warning for the entire island! A STATE OF EMERGENCY SHOULDVE BEEN DECLARED! WHAT THE F**K ARE ME AND MY WHEELIE BINS GOING TO DO NOW?

Mrcaramelchoc · 16-10-2017 07:01AM

I just witnessed a snail being blown over.horrendous stuff.

So good people of AH should I get out of bed and go to work?

Blustery in Limerick. Bins still upright though.
Husband went to work - there was no talking to him.

I feel a bit sick with worry about it all now. It's weirdly quiet and just that feeling of waiting for bad news. I'm glad I don't have to go to work (well, glad I don't have to do the return journey) but at the same time at least that would have kept my mind off things. I'm very worried about my parents. They refused to take it seriously and their garden is full of loose objects. Can't stop thinking about it.

Work are waiting to see who comes in before they make a decision on whether to close. The mind boggles. Those people who come in will have to go home at some point.

That's the dumbest f*cking thing I've ever heard. They're going to wait to see who turns up before they decide whether or not it was safe to travel to work?

So should I let the 15 year old travel across the country from Mayo to Dublin to attend a concert? I'm looking out the window.. it's not windy here, can't tell by the bins, I put them away in the shed...
I could be lynched if I say no and it turns out we only needed a teacup for this storm.
Please advise, I can't shoulder this burden alone.

I might also add it may be moot as there's no buses or trains running... (what time is Ophelia due?)

No confirmation yet. They need to be on the road/tracks by 12..

I highly doubt the concert is on tbh, but if there's a red weather warning in effect you shouldn't let the 15 year old travel across the country in a the middle of a hurricane.

You will probably be lynched though.

check your company's website or ideally they should have told you not to come in. if you get the bus and they are off, then stay at home "you tried"

Billy86 · 16-10-2017 07:24AM

Om only a 10 minute walk from work but just got a text there telling everyone to stay home. Two bank holidays this October so!

weadick · 16-10-2017 07:26AM

Have to say this is a bit underwhelming. No worse than any other storm.

Mrcaramelchoc · 16-10-2017 07:27AM

Ffs bloody leaves will be everywhere.

Atoms for Peace · 16-10-2017 07:27AM

My employer just got in touch to say works off today.

That sums it up. Just got word they plan to close at 11 anyway.

Hector Savage · 16-10-2017 07:30AM

Buses are going and nothing on their website i think I should send a mail to them advising I will not be in.

Have to say the storm has not actually hit Ireland yet and won't for a few more hours, maybe if you actually read up on it you would know this.

Pac1Man · 16-10-2017 07:33AM

During times of hardship and strife like these I like to pray to the ghost of Mr. Ingles, who himself has lived through so many of these.

Keep us safe Pa.

Grab All Association · 16-10-2017 07:33AM

When this is over lets go burn down the Met Éireann offices so this doesn't happen again.

How Soon Is Now · 16-10-2017 07:33AM

The amount of people on here I'd say glued to the window watching and listening for everytime something moves outside!
