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.

but imagine there was no warning and everyone was going about their business getting caught out.. there would be uproar about no warning! You cant win.

So you reckon they should hype every storm up from now on, just to be play it safe?

If this is all climate change has to offer I am going back to my 2.3 litre turbo charged diesel Jaguar.

Starting to get windy here in Galway. Gusts probably not far off 90kph, and will probably hit 120kph at 2/3am.

Okey dokey.

Yeah man, you won't even know there was a storm.

I still think Met Eireann are partly to blame. Here's why
1) Everyone here said Cork wasn't in orange territory. Met Eireann said yes, clearly wrong had to backtrack later.
2) In general rain wasn't showing as a factor on charts yet Met said we would see heavy rainfall.
3) The favourite final location of storm 2 days ago is what happened. Yet they saying it changed course

I hope that the media realise that this fear mongering is probably causing more harm than this fairly average storm. I'm in Galway and am getting texts from elderly relatives in Dublin that they're praying for us ... FFS ... it's obvious that the RTE newsroom are raging that this didn't go red.

Fcuk it we may aswell just roll with it so at this stage and set up a go fund me account and tap all the east coast for cash.

RTÉ have committed so much resources to a relative non-event that they're doubling down on their bullsh1t. Cringeworthy isn't the half of it, egg on all their faces.

For Eoghan Murphy this is a welcome distraction from the 10,000 homeless in Dublin. He can reel off this script without having to answer any difficult questions.

RTE are truly shameless.

Of which 2000 are non eu nationals who rocked up illegally looking for a gaff.

Meh,

If you didn't buy in to the drama of the build up on this forum?

If you ignored all the crap on social media?

If you laughed at the so called mainstream media over hyping it?

If you actually followed the ME forecasts (as in read them)?

Your day both work and social was not affected anywhere in the country.

ME did feck all wrong. The media and some weather enthusiasts added fuel to a fire that sheep like people embraced.

Coast guard lad did grand.
Probably his first time on Telly.
If I was him I’d have rage vomited live on tv listening to your one blowing sh1te about climate and poor us in Co Clare.
Typical Green Party.

Prime Time was cringeworthy. They wont make that mistake again.

Minister Eoghan Murphy trying to appear all business like, efficient and on his brief.

Pity he's not so hot on the rest of his brief

It's Eoghan Murphy TD on Prime Time! I've actually just lost my hearing. Please let me know if he says anything worthwhile! Ever.

The minister of Housing and Storms can not afford to buy socks. Either that or he had to take them off cis they got wet from having to wade through a flood in the way to RTÉ.
