Are U ready for teh Storm? (2)

ninebeanrows · 11-03-2008 11:41am #1

Well the last one may have been a storm in a teacup for these parts but tonight sure as hell won't be.

Dublin looks like being effected quite badly with gusts to 80mph likely.

Gusts off the Northwest coast could reach 90mph for a time this evening.

It all kicks off in the west from 1800hrs and will be at its worst over Dublin around 0300hrs, i would expect some travel disruptions and slight structural damage.

Southern Ulster, Connacht, Northern Leinster (including Dublin) looks like being worst affected.

Don't overlook her after the other "storm"

Fromt the meteireann peeps

Tonight will be very windy with widespread gales. Winds will reach storm force across much of the north and west with severe or violent gusts in parts of Ulster north Connacht and north Leinster.

Mossy Monk · 11-03-2008 12:52pm

The south coast will be fine. I couldn't give a flying ****

Hurray.

moneyman · 11-03-2008 12:57pm

Is the storm expected to be completely over by late Wed night, early Thurs morning? I have a flight and don't want it to be cancelled. **** **** ****

Pheonix Ski · 11-03-2008 1:01pm

xebec · 11-03-2008 1:03pm

takola · 11-03-2008 1:04pm

watna · 11-03-2008 2:57pm

Aww man, I'm staying at home in my parents house for a while and the fecking bedroom window leaks. On Sunday night the wind was so bad that it blew rain through the leak and on to me.

Better go to bed in a raincoat tonight

Sherifu · 11-03-2008 3:06pm

Looks like it's gonna be fun.

80mph - respectable.

Bendihorse · 11-03-2008 3:36pm

Luckily i put on my horses thermals on Sunday in preparation for the other promised storm that didn't really materialise...

gerTheGreat · 11-03-2008 6:13pm

I was up on the roof of a 7 story building in Dublin only two hours ago and it's grand. Big nothing, me thinks.

CYCLE!

That wind is great for the lungs and don't worry about the rain, it dries off you straight away!

bitemybanger · 11-03-2008 6:35pm

Getting fairly wild out there now, house alarms goin off everywhere:mad:

seamus · 11-03-2008 6:36pm

Right so. When asked, I'll say that someone on the blogoweb told me it was a good idea.

Actually, it'll be fine until I get to Templeogue. Then I'll be murdered by the wind.

gurramok · 11-03-2008 7:25pm

You'll be grand Seamus, its a westerly wind, all that air will make your cheeks go red with healthy fulfillness!

Even boards went down just there due to the weather

Zapp Brannigan · 11-03-2008 7:31pm

Starting to kick up round my area. Wind is pretty strong and it's raining. Makes you appreciate being indoors with the heating on!

thecleverone · 11-03-2008 8:14pm

Heavy winds here in Kildare. Were without electricity between 5.45PM and 6.50PM but thank god its back on again. Don't think i could cope without electricity for much more than an hour. Boredom-ville!

11-03-2008 8:31pm

That last storm tweaked my sky dish a bit and improved the reception

RoyalMarine · 11-03-2008 8:57pm

here in tipp were getting weather warnings of winds ranging from 70 - 120kmph tonight.

feels windy out but nothing to that extent.

User45701 · 11-03-2008 9:04pm

was kinda windy when i was cycling home but every now and again there was a very powerfull gust

themadchef · 11-03-2008 9:09pm

It's mental here. Wind is about as bad as ive ever heard it (no intention of venturing outside).

Lost sky reception, and lights are on and off.... but it feels like it's getting worse!!

God i hope the electricity stay on.

No a builder, consultant. Long story.

Steve · 11-03-2008 9:23pm

This one looks like it'll actually show:eek:

Book your seats in the shelter, they say it'll hit around 11 tonight.

Dave! · 11-03-2008 11:04pm

It's been getting very wild here over the past hour or so....... pretty sure I saw a few small children leaving the ground at one point.
