    Joanna on the tonight show said " We dodged a bullet" after she went off air Ivan said " fake news"
    Bullet dodged by not having her doing the met.ie forecasts leading up to this. She's as bad as the George Lees and others on RTE if not worse for hype.

    The warnings from ME were fairly spot on. It’s just the media that made it out to be doomsday.
    I was wondering why the reports were so sensational but I guess they just have to get viewers etc

    Not sure a warning was even needed in Leinster. Weather was worse on Monday.

    That sort of sensationalism makes me turn it off.Just one point about Met.Eireann they did extend the Orange warning from 3am tonight to 6am tomorrow morning,so not very spot on there.

    Going to bed now but I fully expect to wake up tomorrow morning on the yellow brick road in Australia being chased by a green headed witch and a herd of flying monkeys. Goodnight.

    I am in Dublin and was expecting even a drop of rain ? Bit of a breeze ? Nothing. I know I am on the east coast but expected even a token prize to back up the hype. To say I am dissapointed is an understatement. I was expecting something.
    Media ****:mad:

    Question: Has there ever been such a Scheiße storm of media bluff over a NON hurricane storm.

    It's October.
    Rain will fall
    Wind will blow
    Temps will drop
    The media will bullship.

    Agree. Cannot warm to her particular presenting “style”.i always get the feeling it’s more about her than the weather when she’s on tv. She’s full of it.

    Cycled home in that uphill, not a bother. Starting to sound windy now but I'm expecting to be able to cycle tomorrow again no issue.

    High winds in West Mayo since about 7 pm today,
    Gusts severe enough to knock people
    Aran island ferry cancelled
    Fishing boats sheltering at Killlybegs
    Thanks to the Met office for forecasting this
    It may have been quieter elsewhere but imho RTE were correct to inform us

    Fair play to met eireann for handling this well, it could have had a huge impact and rightly met eireann had us warned in advance of its potential. I am not sure whether to be embarrassed for them or piss myself laughing at how OTT RTE have been, i'll probably do both

    George Lee has gotten great mileage out of this, all the same.
