The latest icon study showed Achill coast being hit pretty hard, imagine you could say the same for any proper offshore islands, depending on the model. Let's see how it goes over next 24 hours. Again, I wasnt criticizing your posts in the other forum, but moreso the 'brennans bread posts' which I think belong here

Still, essentially these posting boards are all just a bit of fun. 50 pages of amateur speculation on a storm that is coming our way. People should remember that and not take themselves so seriously.

I will still be careful but just curious, as much as there is a chance that this will blow itself out before it reaches the East coast, is there any chance it somehow powers itself up and becomes a severe storm ? I am not taking this lightly but just curious if there is a small (if not unlikely) chance the storm could end up being far worse then it looks 24 hours out. I think I am also right in saying, certainly in East Leinster, the biggest threat is falling trees and maybe some flooding ? I havent seen anything said about potential storm surges on the East coast.

Anyone speak bovine? All quiet and we have a peaceful night ahead..Before " cry havoc and let loose the gales of war" ( apologies to Shakespeare) Oh we do not get floods here. Most houses are higher than the ocean and it drains back. They were not eejits. The ruin next door was built over 150 years ago and died of neglect and being empty when family died out... back later or tomorrow!

It's been fairly settled that the storm will weaken as it does its eastward turn. If it got up to yellow wind level with the trees still in leaf then the rotted weak and diseased trees out there could definitely go but probabilities go up and down with the severity.
