The orange warnings just for coastal areas that may have had the potential for stronger gusts. Its the media that has over hyped this event up and people loosing the run of themselves because they heard the words hurricane and Ireland together.
Doctor Jimbob wrote: » He wasnt backtracking. He said the same in the 6 news and met eireann have been consistent in saying this would be a west coast event for a few days now. RTE's desperation to hype things up is to blame, not met eireann.

The cynic in me says that the hype about this storm is to soften the blow for a 5c-10c hike in carbon taxes on road fuel next Tuesday - sure Miriam even announced that their next big show is to discuss the budget.

I do think RTÉs performance in particular is ridiculous but I still think there's plenty to come from this storm. The only thing that annoys me is its a relatively standard bad winter storm for the west coast but to justify the nonsense RTÉ will focus on any small bit of damage done tomorrow and hype it up. They are in to deep now. No going back. Storm Special, the prime time guy deployed.
