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

Whoa whoa not so fast buddy!

First we'll need to put together a team to brandish the fallen trees into pitchforks. One thing at a time.

The smart move would have been to cancel all services today, instead they've just stranded people in a storm

There should be serious repercussions for them as a state company

You'll be the first to go.

What time is it acceptable to go looting at?

I could nip out now, and be home before the worst of the storm. Or is that impolite? Should I just wait 'til afterwards?

They should never have run today. Or the very least they should have made it explicitly clear they would cancel everything later that mornin.

They did neither. Incompetence imo.

I hope you're right, but there's a saying "calm before the storm" for a reason. Hope I'm wrong too or just being paranoid, but the air feels a little funny in Dublin not too different from a bit before the weather goes loopy in Sydney or Toronto.

Are rural post offices open? Asking for a friend.

Well they say the early bird gets the worm, but yeah it's generally kosher to wait at least until the house/shop alarms start going off and the electricity cuts out. The truly polite tend to hold off until there are a few minor electrical fires and the like, but that's really up to yourself.

Government shut them all down years ago.

Work closed

So what we all binge watching??

Thinking of some Netflix stuff

You could say that running no service would have stranded those working nights. Anyone getting the bus this morning knew there was a good chance all services would be cancelled today. Congratulations on finding something frivolous to be outraged about though.

I'm working in tusla on through a recruitment company at the sec, looks like all public sector work has been called off. I'd be good as definite it's not, and a bad idea for them to try it even if it were open - especially on open, more isolated rural roads.

And don't swim in the sea!

There are lots of them closed according to the net!

Entertaining. Saw a small child (8-9 years old i guess) cycle down the road on his own. Plenty of birds having a touch time of it.

If people want to get outraged at something, how about getting outraged at employers that let people come into work this morning.

So this Hurricane
