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.

Do you know where Japan is?

I thought it was in the Aviva. I’m glad so I didn’t make the effort to head out there and decided to watch it on tv instead.

Dublin is only on a yellow, and will quite possibly get downgraded anyway. Why do people keep thinking yellow means bad? The phrase 'non event' is such a pretentious thing to say aswell. I do agree with you on the media point though, the overhype from the tabloids and even RTE is absolutely disgraceful. I wouldn't blame Met Eireann though, even though they will get the blame.

There should be a network of actual non sensationalist weather forecasters like Carlow weather and others that people could follow and trust. Less of the met alert and Dublin live rubbish.

To be fair to ME, they sent out one of their more sensible forecasters this time round, and she did say that the hype from the media needs to calm down as its upsetting for people living alone and needing assistance, causing them undue anxiety.

Fair play on that point.

Still they will get blamed regardless, and it is unfair.

Wind is steadily rising in Galway.
Rain in patches.
Going to be a bad 24 hours

Nah. It's World Rugby policy to have them closed for the RWC.

Hi All!

Quick question... I've already asked the Gods, but the response wasn't clear enough... need to feed my pig later today, wondering if anyone knows when we expect this hurricane to hit Dublin (South Dub to be precise)...?

That little bastard can wait if it's wet or raining like crazy....even more if I'm going to be transported by air to a different country with those crazy winds...

Thanks to all!

Upright Pig needs to have a chat with Upright Cow, she can share tips on how to plant those 4 corners to stablize.
If Upright Pig is able to stay upright, you need to get out there and feed, otherwise Upright Pig will be a Grumpy Pig and eat their way out of their field.

Stay Safe Grumpy Pig!

On a day off so brought the dog for a walk in the Phoenix Park. Nothing unusual at all, typical mid late Autumn day. I predict a non event for Dublin anyway. The media need to lay off the scare mongering on these things or when a real storm comes no one will believe them.

Dublin wasn’t meant to be affected much anyway. That was predicted a few days ago. This was/is a west coast event

Just commuted from Navan to Dublin. It’s fairly dull out and getting a little bit windy, nothing major. The threat of rain is in the sky.

Commute home at 9pm might not be as pleasant.

I see they are having to play the rugby under a closed roof because of the threat of this so called storm. I will believe there is a storm when I see a tree falling on top of me.

Update from Nenagh:

Wind picking up a bit alright - I wouldn't go running in it but it'd be a great day for drying clothes if the rain holds off another bit

Positivity in the face of extreme adversity! Very Irish!

Rugby is on in Japan that's a different storm they're concerned about

From the Aberdeen Evening Express.......

At the height of the gale, the harbour master radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the wind speed.

He replied that he was sorry, he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff.

Getting seriously windy in Dublin anyway. Not expecting anything serious but it's going to be very nasty out when the rain arrives.

Whereabouts? I've been out all morning and not seeing anything unusual, mild if anything.

No Green - will look like grass stains which mean upright cow has not been upright at some point.
