Anyone know if the wind speed shown on met.ie is in km?

I typed in my location in North Donegal and it's saying 22 this evening.

Saturday is going to be 24!

Just wondering will it be bad enough for the electricity to cut out?

Doubtful at present. My Sky normally goes first too (no satellite signal being received on screen) and its working flawless all evening here in Tralee.

I heard Radio Kerry say the worst of it will be between 12:00am - 3:00am though.

There's Theresa its official a big storm!

Dont make any unnecessary journey!

Looks serve in West alright.

Meanwhile in Dublin not a whiff of a breeze.

Sardonicat · 03-10-2019 09:04PM

I see Theresa has lost the hat. Going for full hair saturation for dramatic effect, except her hair is barely damp.

Ffs kite surfer rescued. Seriously I'd leave them there.

Putting other people at risk because of their stupidity.

Sardonicat · 03-10-2019 09:06PM

That flag isn't even moving!

George has been waiting for this day all his life. I am delighted for him he can retire happy now.

Yer man's hair on the 9 o'clock news is barely moving.

sjb25 · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

Could at least throw some water over them or something to make it more dramatic

pad199207 · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

RTE News is painful to watch.

Damien360 · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

Is that fake tan on the hands of Sean Mc....

sjb25 · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

Say it say it

zerosugarbuzz · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

Good God, Teresa Mannion has no shame lol

Sardonicat · 03-10-2019 09:10PM

Ah now ! Whatever about going kite surfing on the east coast, going wind surfing in the Maherees today is just madness! Thank God he/she was rescued.

Not watching the news but was this the one in Brandon in Kerry with Fenit lifeboat rescue? Cos if it was, he didn’t need rescuing, not excusing the fact the man in question is a moron. He was reported missing but was safe at the time.

Man Vs ManUre · 03-10-2019 09:12PM

There is no storm at all. The news people and RTÉ are deliberately lying to us to boost ratings. Their footage is from foreign places that get storms like New Orleans and Indonesia. Dublin is mild and clear blue skies. I won’t ever fall for this storm warning again. Still tho, glad I was able to use it as an excuse to ‘work’ from home today and tomorrow.

People easily walking behind her

TheRiverman · 03-10-2019 09:13PM

Lost a lot of interest in Athletics over years due to all the drugs,but I am watching some of the World Championships tonight so that I don't have to hear or see George Lee or any of the other hypers on RTE.
