The hype over this has been ridiculous. From a county cork point of view, it was never an orange warning, even going by the forecasts at the time it was issued. All week you have staff badgering businesses to close, teachers telling students they may have to close etc.What a load of ****e !!!

Well Ned my collie is still curled up in bed. Usually when a bad storm is approaching he's up pacing around about 12 hours beforehand.

Ned is still in the bed which suggests nothing going to happen for at least 12 hours.

Ned just got up, put on his shades and hopped back into bed!

That's everything round house sorted.

All drains cleared of leaves.
Car in garage
Clothes line down
Swing on its side with boulders on it
Football nets on side chained to big tree
All planters in garage too


Hopefully it will all be unnecessary.

Radar not showing rain in cork for the last half hour or so but it’s still very heavy drizzle currently.

Steady rain here in Wexford for the last hour or so, it's actually less breezy now than it was earlier.

I’m in south Dublin and it’s lashing rain and really windy

It's spitting rain in South Dublin and nothing more than a strong breeze, with calmer intervals.

Go Ned, sleep in your bed, rest your weary head and only come out when the weather warning is red.

Dublin 7 - been grey & darkish all morning. Started raining now - not expecting anything major but would expect some strong winds this evening.

I have no idea! I can recognise some breeds eg Belties. They are my neighbour's and a small mixed herd . Very tame as he treats them so well . a gentle man. Walks them from field to field for better grazing.

Tried going there last year and was lucky not to fall over the edge of the earth.

Red Herring methinks. Just overcast in Dublin, No wind or rain here. I hope we get something of note. I am always left dissapointed with weather warnings...sigh.

:rolleyes:i wonder about Irish education as so many seem not to read even simple things like weather reports.

jam_mac_jam

Does anyone understand that the country is not just Dublin and just because its not going to be as bad in Dublin it shouldn't be ignored. I have a pain my face listening to it.

piplip87

Dublin is under yellow warning until 6pm this evening then nothing after that.....
