Egg on their faces a few weeks ago. They need a win this time.

How did they have eggs on their faces? People died, thousands had no power for days, roads blocked all over the place with falling trees. Some of the winds were stronger than Ophelia and Darwin.

That’s my point! They got hauled over the coals for not publicising it enough. Remember the scenes at the ploughing match? And as you say more importantly ppl actually died

I’ve reached level 2 on trampoline disassembly... it was looking dodgy there for a minute.

My amateur skills on nullschool. Should it not be a little closer by now.

Welp. They'll get "collected" alright but he might have to go fetch them from the next county over.

You need to drive down to Salthill prom, look out at the sea for the night and laugh at the fools who took this warning seriously.

They did put out warnings just many ignored thinking they knew better.

Secure your wheelie bins tonight, they get scared in the wind and wander off. If it is your bin day tomorrow please leave it until the morning before you let your bin out. They can cause mayhem on the streets and road. #StormCallum

And if you miss your collection, the company will say tough ****.

I’ve see Thorntons collect my bins anytime between 6am and 6pm in rathfarnham.

People ignore warnings that aren't red as employers etc still expect you to be at work. So everyone operates as normal.

It's kind of like a domino effect. If important things like schools and transport stop, everything else follows

Wind picking up in Monasterevin now.

Andy From Sligo · 11-10-2018 11:03pm

Still as my deceased granny here in Co. Sligo ....

aisling86 · 11-10-2018 11:04pm

Definitely not used to the southerly winds here in macroom it's getting wild & rain coming down hard now. Hard to believe it's not peaking for another 4/5hrs. Wind whistling now

Harry Palmr · 11-10-2018 11:07pm

I'm not taking this at all seriously, maybe I should but it just feels like it'll be nothing more than a standard issue windy night with rain.

You make it sound so cosy! I'm really just looking forward to another night in bed listening to some wind and rain. Midlands.

Whispered · 11-10-2018 11:10pm

Still calm here in co kk. As expected. No rain yet either. Although the big tree at the end of the garden is starting to rustle slightly. The anticipation! I'm loving the updates.

1162 people on the forum! Must be a severe weather event, so........
Everyone hopping between the chat and technical threads?
Good, good.....keep on, keep on :-)

Whispered · 11-10-2018 11:28pm

^^already picking up now. Just a normal blustery night for now. I'm glad to be tucked up safe for when it hits!

I can’t tell the difference between the two forums.got a bollocking for offering the real weather heads a trampoline for sale.was throwing in a half bag of borrowed beach sand to weigh her down and all to sweeten the deal.
Two titles are the same.

Andy From Sligo · 11-10-2018 11:42pm

...ooooh! - wait a minute .. just seen a branch moving .. I think - nope, false alarm ...

YFlyer · 11-10-2018 11:47pm

A bit windy in Limerick city atm. Nothing severe and no rain.

spottybananas · 11-10-2018 11:49pm

Any idea what it might be like around Loughrea/Galway City tomorrow at roughly 1-3pm? Hoping the winds will have died down...

bloodless_coup · 11-10-2018 11:49pm

There's no difference between this thread and the other thread.
