    Hurricane needs to stay off land to survive - looks like it is heading away from the coastline .........

    It's unbelievable that there are people walking in this. I just saw four young lads walking past my window a few minutes ago with the most gormless looking grins on their faces.

    I went into the back garden here in Stillorgan to rearrange the stuff that had blown around.
    The little birds in the bushes were having a right discussion about the wind.

    Get that inside, seriously. If it's anything at all heavy it could come flying in through the window and today is not the day to have a smashed window. If it can rip the roof off a gym or stadium and send it flying, there is nothing in your garden it can't send flying toward the house at 50+ kmph.

    Yup looks like a DIY builders providers yard next door. No structural failure at yet another superbly designed LIDL

    How can bickering on the internet or even banding togeher on the internet have any impact whatsoever?

    Also, why are you shouting?

    I have some custom wind chimes I made from old butcher knives hanging around the garden. Should I take these in?

    Just a wheelie bin that I had put on its side yesterday had rolled a few yards.
    Everything is in a corner bounded on three sides by high walls and held in by heavy stuff. As much as possible was brought indoors.

    You're in the north right? It hasn't hit you lot up there yet. 'This weather' is not the storm, it's barely even got to Dublin yet just some noticeable swirling winds (and I'm the other side of the mountain from Wicklow so on the southern edge). If you had tried that in Munster you'd be running the risk of literally having a whole roof fall on your head.

    Don't mean to be pedantic but this isn't a hurricane. It's a storm.

    Haven't read the whole thread so maybe its already been mentioned but there was a couple of kite surfers rescued off the east coast by the coast guards.....what a shower of muppets given the warnings etc. Maybe it seemed fine at the time but who does that?? Not only did they put their own lives at risk, but they risked the lives of the coast guards too...hopefully they'll have to pay for the rescue...probably some hipster kids looking for something new to post on snapchat or whatever the kids are into these days.....

    I live less than five minutes away from the school that had its roof blown off. My phone signal and internet connection is pretty bad. Send me smoke signals!

    Wind really picking up here in Dublin now. I find it worrying that so many people are still unable or unwilling to take this seriously.

    Lads you don’t get red weather warning issued for nothing. One poor woman has already lost her life. It can’t be that hard to keep away from the coast and off the road for a few hours.

    And as for those fools out swimming and kite surfing - how selfish and idiotic can you get? It’s not just yourselves you’re putting in danger.
