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.

Dublin met.ie says 27km winds tonight? That's hardly a breeze?

I think the models are talking about winds of about 33km with gusts up to 70km. That is below the yellow warning level but probably a little last to drop Leinster from the Yellow area. Change seems to have come from the projected turn being more northerly than originally forecast but from reading some posts it appears there is still a chance that it could turn earlier (While it still has stronger winds) and then winds in Leinster could reach the yellow level.

Abundance of caution situation.

Wild enough here in South Tipp. Wind picking up and rain too.

Its brilliant that everyone is able to predict that this is a non event before it happens.

Getting a bit rough out there now.

In laois and the wind picking up and gone very dark, presume we will get the worst of it during the night.

The forecast rain has arrived; sheeting across in a wild southerly. As nasty a day as any we have had in a long while.. Deluging

west mayo offshore..

Heard A COW bellowing. so went out but hidden by the old house! And the minibus to the pier but probably just to check all is well down there

Maybe Upright cow, or the bull, has escaped and they are sending out a search party! Who knows! Sheeting sideways and bitterly cold..

Crazy world.. just going to sit and let them at it ! Nothing to do with me!

I do love the sense of anticipation of waiting for something that can be seen hundreds of miles away and watching it slowly track nearer and then the realisation "this is it".

It doesn't look like it will be so bad for a lot of the country but it's the sense of the unknown and the possibilities which grow the anticipation.

Thats my point, no need to be pin pointing any sort of standard weather as something to do with a storm that hasnt even arrived yet. Wind and rain on an October morning my god batten down the hatches.

depends where you are if you read the warnings carefully. West is being hit now. Then a pause, then the bigger storm later..

They'll probably cancel collections if it gets too bad, but the bin men are hardy creatures so i wouldn't bet on it
