Blame George Lee, Dublin live and the Liberal. They hype everything up for views and then will be the first ones to blame Met Eireann when it doesn't go well.

The liberal used the words yellow warning and Ireland could be obliterated in the same article earlier today.....Although they will likely blame foreigners or Abortion if it doesn't come off

Looks like yet more hype over a non event. I have a feeling there will be a lot of head scratching and wondering what the fuss was about Friday morning.

While this is lining up to be a non event. What other non event are you on about?

Do we think the Met Éireann warnings will stay the same colour now and for the same counties?

Bread making is hugely popular these days Graces ? I got two great recipes from the food forum for sourdough and wholemeal bread. Perhaps if you had used the term griddle bread, people would have known. Bannock is more of a Scottish term I think.

When I lived on the North Sea island I never bought bread in the whole decade I was there. Always yeast bread... By hand. Was fitter then! and probably ate more..;)

Dunno; I went to sleep and when I woke the warnings had all turned Orange. About to go to sleep again so who knows! One thing is sure; mayo will get hit

Doesnt seem to be going to be too bad going by rte weather earlier on

Graces7 · 02-10-2019 08:58PM

Blissfully peaceful.. cow or bull is still giving out occasionally … else utter deep silence... ah! rest well everyone..

George Lee is a disgrace. People actually think Lorenzo is an actual hurricane when it hits Ireland.
He is the boy who cried wolf.

Oscar Bravo · 02-10-2019 09:04PM

Rte and George lee a disgrace. frightening elderly people is all their at.

Reckless Abandonment · 02-10-2019 09:04PM

RTE news.. basically were all going to die.. possibly..

autumnbelle · 02-10-2019 09:07PM

Why is there so much uncertainty over what’s going to hit? I will be collecting my child from child minders at 6 tomorrow evening would I be better off keeping him at home? Did azures get badly hit?

SEPT 23 1989 · 02-10-2019 09:07PM

Was hurricane Charlie not a hurricane George?

Beechwoodspark · 02-10-2019 09:07PM

George Lee has completely lost the Plot. Not on. Ppl look for impartial advice not his Hollywood disaster movie bluster.

You’ll be fine going to collect him. Slight breeze and a bit of rain at worse.

Quite extraordinary by Rte and George Lee. We haven't seen this type of tabloid spoof from them before. I mean we get a yellow warning almost every week on Winter. Perhaps it's just an ignorance and lack of weather knowledge.
Worth noting we are weather fanatics, and understand the complexities of jet stream, climate change more than most of society . We can see the media spin as not being accurate

NIMAN · 02-10-2019 09:16PM

Thought that piece Rte did was terrible.

It was daily mail stuff, hyped up to the max.

No mention at all that it's going to weaken a lot from what hit the Azores. That wouldn't be news, would it?

And Sharon was really emphasising the word yellow when she mentioned warnings. We have had dozens of yellow warnings before. Yellow isn't bad. But if you need it to sound bad, they can make it sound bad.

I am thinking this is going to be a case of people complaining against about over exaggeration.

I'd say Evelyn Cusack would be annoyed with that 'news' article.

Grandeeod · 02-10-2019 09:17PM

George Lee, up for an Oscar for best dramatic bull**** award. Yes it will be stormy and yes there's potential for some damage, but this lad is off the Beaufort Scale.:rolleyes:

Roycropper63 · 02-10-2019 09:20PM

Slightly off topic but Graces7 be safe!!

02-10-2019 09:23PM

So i work in Galway city, shift 3pm-12am. My plan is to get to the start of the shift, work until 6, then check conditions. If they look about to worsen, call it quits & head home. Work’s not happy, but I wasn’t asking them, I was telling them I’m doing that.

Sound reasonable? Or should i call the whole day off?

And what windspeeds should I expect debris on the roads for? What do you weather experts think my go/no-go conditions should be? I’m in a light car, and my drive home is to ballinasloe. Motorway for a lot of the way, but I’d prefer to do it in daylight than at 12.30 at night if I’m driving the storm.
