    Its nice and calm here in North Dublin. I know it aint going to be a hurricane :P but looking outside you wouldnt even think it was going to be a bad day (by irelands standards anyways :P )

    Early tomorrow morning for period of 12-18 hours. The current wind is from a different system. Heavy rain on the way soon too for good measure.

    Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal, Derry, Tyrone Antrim should be on high alert for falling trees/structural damage such as garden items/loose roofing.

    Midlands region and west will have some very strong gusts too but to a less serious extent, we may still see some storm force winds though, so be alert.

    East coast, south and south-east should avoid the worst of it but should still have strong gales. No severe winds but the forecast is still changing, it may be stronger/weaker yet. Check with Met Eireann's warnings and advice in this evening and tonight's forecasts.

    We're getting an extention built on, and there are stacks of blocks and insulation around the back of the house. Should they be secured or are they grand where they are?

    In Limerick it's somewhat windy but that's not been abnormal over the last few days.

    Can't see lose bricks being effected (but don't take my word for it) but any lose plastic sheeting which they oft times use as a temp measure - or other similar light items, might need looking at - just to be safe than sorry.

    Its not even a hurricane anymore right? This will just be nothing, don't get too worried over it guys it will just be a bit of wind. Its being blown out of proportion.

    I've heard that it's currently a tropical storm and it'll have lightened up before it gets here. Mainly areas near to the coast, I'd imagine will be hit the most.

    It could be something - but HOPEFULLY nothing.
    There's no harm in taking a few minor precautions - just in case.

    My first day of college tomorrow so I have no sympathy for anybody who doesn't have anything significant to do tomorrow. I know that no matter how bad the weather is I have to go in tomorrow.

    I have to travel to County Dublin, to get my child to Crumlin Hospital for a body cast change - I think not turning up for work might be seen as seriously pushing it more than a bit beyond credibility.

    Lovely balmy evening here in Dublin and I'm heading for my nightly jog on Portmarnock beach.

    We'd lands filling sandbags in work over the weekend in preparation for Katia, probably for nothing now!.
