The quiet before the storm...

mang87 · 2004-10-26 21:46:52

Has anyone been outside? :eek: It's so creepy. No dogs barking. No wind(yet). No people(no little FUK*ERS with bangers scaring my dog). No cars. Just dead quiet. Supposedly there's a big storm heading our way? Woot. I love storms, but damn, it's just so quiet outside, can't stand it. So what's the best thing to do on a…

I'm f*cked. I have to go into Dublin (from Leixlip), and out to Clonskeagh, for an interview. Hopefully I won't be late, due to nature.
Thats two bus journey's, to get to the place. And two back.

I like storms when I'm tucked up in bed and listening to the rain pelting off the window. Don't mind the thunder but the lightening freaks me a bit.

Just wondering do anyone else get an extreme headache when thunder is on the way. I always do - have one now. Never suffer with headaches exept for hangovers or if thunder is on the way.

Another thing I was thinking of is umbrellas and how crap they are if its windy and also why aren't umbrellas see-through as when the wind is coming against you, you have to hold them down so they won't go inside out and therefore you can't really see where you're going

I remember hurricane Charlie back in 86 (back when harvesting were done by hand etc)

I was waiting for a bus in Crumlin wondering why the rain was falling horizontally.

A couple of people in cars stopped to offer me a lift but keeping in mind what my Mammy had told me about accepting lifts from strangers I declined. On the bus home I noticed much of Rathfarnham around Nutgrove SC was turning into lakes and rivers.

Only found out I had been out in a hurricane later that evening when I got home and watched the news. Forecasts weren't as accurate back in them days

Not much yet here, just a bit or rain and a mild wind. Although it's big fat rain, which is the type which I hate the most. :mad:

Im supposed to be going out today cutting down a center poll for the bonfire.... NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Any of ya's remember the really strong storm at Xmas about 5-6 years back?

N and E had gusts of 90+
Blew a load of roofs off that night, and load of power outs around Donegal and NI.

Electrical storms I like, but winter Atlantic storms I can live without...

Also floodwatch on tonight/tomorrow cause highest tide of autumn is happening.

I most certainly do. I asked for an electric oven where I could bake fairy cakes from Santa and when I got it the power went out and I couldn't use it *starts crying*

Only when you started debating my views on smoking in the rain or shine thread paddy...
At that stage I was wondering was it more than your memory that you had lost
It's called moderating

/ meanwhile , we are still discussing the current stormy weather on the weather board, right now, at this very minute.
