    Jesus they're just advising/warning people to be prepared, three people lost their lives during Storm Ophellia two years ago and this storm has the potential to be just as severe, how difficult is that to understand :rolleyes:

    Another non event. Just your typical autumn storm. No chance of a red warning. Windy and wet that’s it

    What time will it get windy at? If I drive from Wicklow to Clare leaving at 4 30 pm will I be alright?!

    Would probably be quicker driving from Clare to Wicklow with a good tailwind!

    Yes it should have passed by 5.59 pm :rolleyes: Look nobody knows at this stage how severe it will be, where/when it will hit, etc, the hint is in the title of this thread "potential" storm.

    One more thing I'm organising in advance...a pair of portable chargers for my phone. I can then set up a WiFi hotspot for any other devices in the house at the time. I've ensured all laundry is done. Tied down the galvanised turfshed roof!


    Didn't snow follow Ophelia, the next day? Bit early now but this is very early for a proper storm too.

    Please read the thread. The main effects will be FRIDAY morning, not Thursday morning. And no, there won't be countrywide disruptions, if any.

    What annoyed me about that is that the storm was about 100km from the south east coast and Met E was telling people in Mayo and Donegal to stay in their homes??? Was just a very lazy blanket forecast.

    My neighbour is calling it the "Big Wind" and is heading to the hardware store for boards so he can board up his windows. Suggested I do the same. Is this excessive?

    I don't know who or where but I doubt this person made it up if you see what I mean. He mentioned the shipping coordinator liases with meteorologists, globally

    Could well be exagerated I guess
