Storm Lorenzo Chat Thread.

Oneiric 3

The suggestion was made earlier in the 'Lorenzo' thread to open up a separate thread for general discussion on this potential storm. I think this is a good idea as that thread is now incorporating both technical discussion and more banterish posts, which is making it harder to follow.

It is probably best if we keep the original thread where more technical discussions & charts etc can take place to allow people to have a quicker access to the latest thoughts on the storm, and keep this one for more general chit chat and reports etc.

I didn't think that Cork would be included in the orange alert. I suppose to cover western areas of the county.

The technical thread was only tidied up......a storm in a tea cup, much like this hurricane looks like being.

If your reading this Grace, please keep posting, look forward to your vivid descriptions of the wild and wonderful west coast.

I'd ban the ones being smartasses to her,lads thinking that they are funny and smart, it's not AH. I wouldn't mind but you won't see them in the weather forum again unless it snows or something.

On Newtalk just now they spoke about the warning systems. They said that there will be a general countrywide warning issued but also to tune into warnings from local authorities which will cover specific areas. Also they pointed out that the timing of Lorenzos worst effects will be at a time that lots of people will be already home.

I was talking to a neighbour who works in a supermarket,she was telling me that people were in asking are they open tomorrow.
I actually blame Facebook,one person sees the word hurricane and goes bananas sharing it on social media then have people following like sheep rather than checking the actual forecast.

How many will swim at the diving boards in salthill?

Stunning morning in west Cork. More of this please

Dont Make any unnecessary journeys and certainly don't swim in the sea!

I hate these morning downgrades. You go to bed thinking exciting weather is coming and then you wake up to downgrades. We're well used to it now.

Met Eireann has also warned some areas may experience thunderstorms which could lead to flooding.

not sure its the thunderstorms themselves which lead to flooding- that article is terrible

Mount Vesuvius

Please keep in mind that even though yellow warnings look like being issued, trees can topple more easily due to being in full leaf. The wind speeds don't look like being all that much but Storm Ali was a yellow warning in September 18 and cause a fair bit of damage.

I've hired a mini cooper to test out its sub-aquatic capabilities under crashing 15ft waves at Salthill, see you there!

Hurricane Lorenzo to hit Ireland stronger than expected as 'ferocious' storm gathers 'incredible pace'

Haha scaremongering

Don't link the w*****s, that's what they want.

Graces7 solar charger...better leave it out now and give it the best chance...I bought solar fairy lights during the summer and they took days to charge even in bright sunshine. Speaking of such gadgets, my friend lives off grid. He has a nifty wind up radio. Always meant to buy.one myself.

Snow pretty normal for Scottish highlands isn't it...They tend to keep it later into the spring too.

're Lorenzo. This morning the main thread gives the impression it's not so bad after all? What does everyone think?

Perhaps. Especially the further west you go. But most if they are falling will already be down.

I am in NW. A good few trees went down around here in last storms.

Things are getting serious. Eoghan Murphy was on the news earlier looking very relaxed but apparently he was seen leaving government buildings a short while ago having thrown off his tie and his shirt sleeves rolled up.

To say the least. Supposedly most of the country will be a yellow warning at most when it's announced later.

What's your thought on this, will I be able to make the journey or should I be putting plans in place to put delay that journey?
