    Left my empty bin outside and it never moved an inch during Ophelia. Then walk a 100 yards down the road to find a tree uprooted. It's all comes down to how protected your area is from the gusts and obviously elevation. I suspect the worst damage will happen with wave surges close to coastal areas

    Looks like yet more hype over a non event. I have a feeling there will be a lot of head scratching and wondering what the fuss was about Friday morning.

    Better throw the tabloids in the bin and read a book instead.

    Blame George Lee, Dublin live and the Liberal. They hype everything up for views and then will be the first ones to blame Met Eireann when it doesn't go well.

    The liberal used the words yellow warning and Ireland could be obliterated in the same article earlier today.....Although they will likely blame foreigners or Abortion if it doesn't come off

    While this is lining up to be a non event. What other non event are you on about?

    Do we think the Met Éireann warnings will stay the same colour now and for the same counties?

    Bread making is hugely popular these days Graces ? I got two great recipes from the food forum for sourdough and wholemeal bread. Perhaps if you had used the term griddle bread, people would have known. Bannock is more of a Scottish term I think.

    When I lived on the North Sea island I never bought bread in the whole decade I was there. Always yeast bread... By hand. Was fitter then! and probably ate more..;)

    George Lee is a disgrace. People actually think Lorenzo is an actual hurricane when it hits Ireland.
    He is the boy who cried wolf.

    You’ll be fine going to collect him. Slight breeze and a bit of rain at worse.

    Quite extraordinary by Rte and George Lee. We haven't seen this type of tabloid spoof from them before. I mean we get a yellow warning almost every week on Winter. Perhaps it's just an ignorance and lack of weather knowledge.
    Worth noting we are weather fanatics, and understand the complexities of jet stream, climate change more than most of society . We can see the media spin as not being accurate
