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.

It got rough at midday here in SW Donegal and after heavy rain there was floods on the roads and strong gusts, but since then its been quiet enough.

Oh yeah! Back in mid 80's (I was around 12) my dad brought the whole family up the mountains, when a blizzard struck. I remember crawling through the snow down the mountain in what must have been 100mph winds. You couldn't stand up.

Who remembers the famous raft off the prom.all us kids used to swim out to it and climb up on it basking like seals in that glorious 80’s sunshine.
There would be that many on it you would have to push off someone to get on.
We were like crabs climbing onto a rock.
God be with the days.

I was talking to someone from Salthill, Galway today. He remembers in the 70s and 80s that the local kids would love big storms. They would all head out to the promenade with their roller skates and let the wind bring them up and down the path/road. That would be frowned upon in today's safety first world.

Born and raised in Salthill remember doing that well when we progressed to cars we would go to the end of the prom and do car races with wind power only blowing us down the prom, great days meant to add the winner would be who got furthest

It’s not sarcasm at all - a lot of people posting nonsense here who were only on yellow until 6pm. If you go by them, the national average reading comprehension is that of a 6 year old.

Loved staying in Galway city centre last year during the heatwave, until I moved to Salthill and it was bitter in the wind!

People need a bit of chatter. That's all.

There is, but unless you are right on the west coast you probably wont notice anything other than a normal autumn evening.

Well I'm in Sandymount, Dublin, about 2k from the City Centre and bad you most definitely could not call it, slight increase in wind not raining

For the gazillionth time, the storm hasn't reached the east coast yet (has it even made landfall on the west coast yet?), and when it does, it's not likely to be a huge event.

it's not likely to be a huge event?? so what's the fuss about then?

If that was directed at me, the fuss was always about the west/northwest coastal areas

I was replying to the earlier posting that described the City Centre as "pretty bad", take it easy
