    Wouldent have to go far to experince hurricane force winds. Looks like the Isle of Harris and North and South Uist right in the firing line of such winds.

    Does that chart show maximum gusts, or sustained speeds?

    Think it might be a good idea to modify the thread title and go along with met.ie warning, level 2 for west and north and level 1 for the rest of the country. We have enough people cribbing and moaning about a non event already. just a thought:rolleyes:

    Hmm, that's an idea although I don't think the site has that ability. Maybe just put it in the OP.

    It happens every event though, here in West Clare the bins would be blown over, items missing from the garden and noises like the roof was going to come off, when someone from the midlands who didn't get the same wind as Loop Head comes in and screams that it was a non-event. Anyway we have to deal with it :P The issue has lessened since last year so lets be happy with that.

    Yeah I know what you mean, I'm in the southeast and we rarely get the winds that are mentioned, unlike the northwest. For a small country the weather can vary greatly.

    On the weather after the news the Orange alert covered from Cork to Donegal, she showed it on the chart with the areas affected in Orange so its not just a West / North warning

    Level 1 = Yellow (Least Severe)
    Level 2 = Orange
    Level 3 = Red (Most Severe)

    The definition of best and worst is a personal thing as to how much you like the weather :P Personally I would rate a Level 3 Snow/Ice warning as the best.:D

    I'm expecting a repeat of Gerty here in the South East when the Max gust at my station was 60km/h. Wxsim forecast software on my site is predicting around the same so I'll go with that. Different story in the NW I would say with event status in that area.

    The main difference between this and Gertrude is the length of time the storm will be here for.

    Storm Gertrude's warning was active for 9 hours.
    Storm Henry's warning will be active for 26 hours. (Starting in 1hr 40mins!)

    We Dubs seem to escape the storms mostly even out north county. Not long back from walking the wolves and they were most reluctant to go out at all and were using my legs as shelter. Hopefully no-one gets hit too badly.

    As above, very little.
    Below warning level, mostly showers.
