    Well I was going to take the day off so I stayed up. Now nothing will happen I'll look stupid for not going to work so its up at 7am for me now.
    People will be laughing at us all who were worried about this.
    This thread will go down in history and be quoted every time there is a report of a bad storm coming along.


    Nope. It's going east again. The day off is back on. And this thread will go down in history and be quoted as the right thing to do when a storm is coming.

    It’s definitely headed west anyway according to all the radars and sources.

    Won’t be to bad after all, gusty winds that we see every year.

    Up at 7 for work so!

    Not happy that is headed back eastwards, thanking your post because some people seem to think its badass not to care about possible extreme and dangerous weather. Its not. Its as laughable as over hysteria.

    I wouldn't say that, this storm is large and the entire country is going to get a walloping - it's still the early hours, the next 12 hours will tell a tale. Please do not take this lightly just because the centre is going to be more westerly than the previous forecasting indicated.

    Isn't it better if it does veer west.
    Who really wants to experience this type of weather.
    There'll be no egg on anyone's face imo.

    Hope everyone out west stays safe tomorrow and everyone east should probably go to bed as you'll look fairly silly not going in on a blustery Monday.

    Was good to see the difference between scientific analysis and hysteria though.
    I'll never be worried about a forecast of a bit of wind again.

    I'd hold off on that sort of comment unless it turns out in 12 hours that time that this was nothing more than a few gusts.

    I hope you're right - but based on what I know of storm systems, I'd say you're wrong. Tomorrow will tell a tale either way!
