Our fence just blew over, wife is not happy cause people can see the state of the garden.

Tell her to go out and fix it. See what she says to you.

RIP, to die clearing a tree away that's ****ing horrible, poor man and his family,.

Now, I'd have no problem going out now if I needed to, in fact my gym is open and I'll be heading up there in a while, it's 200yards from the house. But going out with a chainsaw? Suffering jaysis

Another fatality - what is it going to take for people to heed Met Eireann's warnings?

2 dead now as per RTE radio. A guy in his 30s clearing trees with a chainsaw has died.

But according to some hard chaws here, it's just a little high wind...and the majority of people are dumb asses for taking precautions.

:rolleyes:

Wow, Galway look really, really bad on TV3 and morons diving into the water. wtf!!!

A Little Pony · 16-10-2017 02:08PM

Just seen my bin tip over, this is getting really bad now. Services shutting for the day, disastrous.

You have no reason whatsoever to be going to the gym. That poor fella might have had a very good reason to be out clearing trees, he might not. I know I've had to be out in atrocious weather when I'd have been better off not, but sometimes people don't have the choice.

You have a choice.

Some people are ****ing oblivious.:mad:

The Gardai should round up the fools and detain them for a week (and the RTE reporters).

scamalert · 16-10-2017 02:10PM

if anything to go by sat image on met.ie seems its half way trough Ireland and moving along the cost more to the the west so if on track few hours more and should all be clear, id say plenty of debris around east but besides wind gusts just a storm that's dying out.seems those in the direct path got most of strong winds and whatever damage.

The schools here in Dublin could have stayed open...

The_Valeyard · 16-10-2017 02:11PM

I think a lot of us in Dublin are not really seeing what happening elsewhere. The full force of the storm has not hit us yet. Stay inside.

Yeah, it's nowhere near as bad here. Cork and Galway is on a different scale.

In the brain or elsewhere?

Few Trees down around Dublin but you do feel like it's been nothing exceptional so far.

Will it get worse is the question.

Still got them the publicity. I'd imagine many had never heard of them until now.

Muahahaha · 16-10-2017 02:15PM

Just went out to the chippers there to get a lunch box. On the way back some trees were threatening to crush my chicken & chips. Thankfully I made it back and my lunch is safe.

He'll be one of the high profile casualties of this, he'll have himself pulled inside out by Tuesday evening with all this disaster

I've been out in all weathers when I had to and would rather have been at home. Going at a tree with a chainsaw in this weather is like putting out a fire by sitting on it.

As for me making the 200yard walk to the gym, I'm sure I'll make it given my walk is fairly sheltered

Arghus · 16-10-2017 02:17PM

In Galway here. I would say, at the moment, the weather is only marginally worse than usual: bit blustier, bit wetter, but nothing too markedly out of the ordinary as of yet.

6 am this morning in Greystones though, not exactly anywhere near the storm at that point.

From overhearing the OH's Snapchat they have a swim at 6 am every morning of the year.

Shows how little you care about the poor bastard that might have to use a chainsaw to rescue you in this weather then doesn't it?

Kermit.de.frog · 16-10-2017 02:21PM

Galway?

There have been sightings of reporters blatantly ignoring recommendations to stay indoors. Some of them have been seen hanging around treacherous beaches and piers hoping to catch sight of swimmers and surfers. Putting themselves, their soundman and cameraman in danger. Will they ever lern: ?

So this Hurricane
