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.

He seemed to imply the heavy rain might bring down trees.

Which in turn will prompt the chain saw maniacs try and clear the fallen trees and have accidents. Fųking mayhem out there. KEEP CALM EVERYONE!

Dublin would have to get hyped too eventhough its on the east coast the complete other side of the country to where the storm is.

VM news headline at 5:30 was that it was that the storm was "intensifying" as if armegeddon was on the way.

There was a reporter in Lahinch and Colette Fitzpatrick said "you're in the eye of the storm there".

Whatever about the hype, they're not even being factually correct.

Seems they're all on some audition for a Bond movie or else a job as a govt spin doctor.

Saw that. Utterly laughable. The best was some girl down in Ballybunion with her hair barely fluttering in a breeze.

Very few ESB outages. 2 in Mayo but only around 100 people affected.

And at that with high tide now passed there wont be much of interest there either other than high seas and strongish winds.

Was a far worse day last Monday. At least its warm this evening.

They are doing a prime time live next on the storm. Hype it as much as possible, drive ratings and the climate agenda. Pathetic

They might get a bit lucky with primetime, its just after high tide so they might get some money shots of breaking eaves behind them.

Disgraceful performance from Rte and not much better from Met Eireann. I have never seen the likes of it in over 40 years of watching TV. ..I mean why don't Met Eireann call a halt and say the storm didn't happen. For 3 or 4 days this storm looked like it wasn't going to happen.
As for George Lee I used to respect his opinion on the economy now not so sure. Was he ramping up the recession too?!
Do the decent thing Met Eireann and tell Rte it's not happening

My experience over the years with the craze around weather warnings is that when met eireann and particularly the press go into overdrive like they are doing now in reality the impact is never that bad however it’s the times when you don’t have any advance warning or hear anything out of the ordinary from the authorities that you get caught out and after you think how the hell did they not have an advance warning for that weather!!

Quite true.

Storm Hannah in April received relatively little attention, and whatever media coverage/warnings it got came quite late.
But that actually ended up being a Red alert for some counties. A lot of structural damage was done in Clare - but with little warning.

All joking asides, no one will ever take these warnings of Armageddon seriously ever again.
Met Eireann need to stand up to the slavering media and forecast factually and without emotion.
RTE are just simply embarassing. Show a Canadian or a Norwegian this stuff and they would laugh at us

Wtf ?

It's more than painful, it's embarrassing. I don't know why RTE don't just admit that this 'storm' is not as bad as was forecast and just stand down their roving reporters. You would feel sorry for reporters trying to make a big deal of something that obviously isn't.

Primetime ''Storm'' special after the news. It's like turning up for a gig knowing it's been cancelled !:D
