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.

Was windy earlier but now not a gust in limerick. Calm actually.

What I really want to know is, is there going to be thunder and lightning? I love a bit of thunder and lightning. Of course it'll be a bit rubbish if it's at 3am, or whatever time the storm passes over Dublin. 7am would be perfect, with it all passed overhead by the time we have to walk to school at 8.30.

Doesn't seem to be any in the storm out at sea at the minute, but have a look at this later on: http://map.blitzortung.org/#4.51/53.71/-14.33

Half the problem here is that it was a named hurricane long before Met Eireann would have named it with one of their own names. The media ramped it early, and there were some juicy graphics from the hurricane centre in the US to feed people with.

A perfect storm for the media, excuse the pun.

Apparently Sligo and Donegal County Council have been told they won't be in a yellow warning zone much longer as almost calm conditions expected there as the storm centre will be to their south. I heard that from a reliable source..

Looks like a good find.
Midnight to 4 am seems like when lands properly.

Sligo and Leitrim to go to Orange it seems. Thought it looked to be tracking more north.

You can change the model on the bottom right to see the different tracks too.

That's everything round house sorted.

All drains cleared of leaves.

Clothes line down
Swing on its side with boulders on it
Football nets on side chained to big tree
All planters in garage too

Hopefully it will all be unnecessary.

You’re better safe than sorry anyway.

It’s actually dropped the wind a bit in Galway compared to early this morning and it’s misting.
After supper tonight she will get right bad I’d say.
Stay safe let ye and if ye have old people living near ye check are they alright and do they want anything from the shop.

Sligo to go orange,your reliable source not that reliable

UrbanFret

For the uninitiated why does it not keep heading northeast what causes it to veer to the right?

So it’s not going to make landfall now until 5 or 6am tomorrow?

Cycled home across Dublin. Enjoyable and fast when the wind behind me. Not so great when in front. I’d say there will be a few branches down on the Malahide road in the morning. Still nothing worse than a bad winters day that if the media didn’t mention it nobody would notice.

I didn't realise you can zoom in so far on windy.com
It even has dwellings highlighted. I can see my gaff!

Will they drop Limerick and Kerry down to yellow at the last minute?

When it's over water it's spinning like mad anti clockwise, but water is fairly slippy so it doesn't get a grip and only gradually curves to the right in our neck of the planet.
As soon as it's over land, much better grip and it curves waaay more dramatically to the right.
But land is kryptonite to hurricanes.
Kills them dead.
