    Indeed yes. My home is interesting. A sealed unit so the roof would not come off... ( A demountable dwelling they call it) Aluminium, and very well concreted in. Cannot thus come apart. I keep imagining it taking off whole! Beware low flying Graces! NO DANGER OF THAT!

    Poor cat is terrified; hiding in my bed or dragging the sheet off to wrap round him. No idea where the other four are. Plenty of safe crannies out there.

    But this afternoon has been worse than we anticipated. Now they say stronger gales from 4 am. The images of Lorenzo tracking in are quite.....and nothing can stop it,

    Off to sleep a while.

    Stay safe out there all …

    Whatever about Upright Cow, I am now rooting for Upright Graces - and Upright Graces House, and Upright Cat.

    Sleep well!

    Apparently Sligo and Donegal County Council have been told they won't be in a yellow warning zone much longer as almost calm conditions expected there as the storm centre will be to their south. I heard that from a reliable source..

    What I really want to know is, is there going to be thunder and lightning? I love a bit of thunder and lightning. Of course it'll be a bit rubbish if it's at 3am, or whatever time the storm passes over Dublin. 7am would be perfect, with it all passed overhead by the time we have to walk to school at 8.30.

    Doesn't seem to be any in the storm out at sea at the minute, but have a look at this later on: http://map.blitzortung.org/#4.51/53.71/-14.33

    Half the problem here is that it was a named hurricane long before Met Eireann would have named it with one of their own names. The media ramped it early, and there were some juicy graphics from the hurricane centre in the US to feed people with.


    A perfect storm for the media, excuse the pun.

    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.




    You’re better safe than sorry anyway.

    It’s actually dropped the wind a bit in Galway compared to early this morning and it’s misting.

    For the uninitiated why does it not keep heading northeast what causes it to veer to the right?

    Cycled home across Dublin. Enjoyable and fast when the wind behind me. Not so great when in front. I’d say there will be a few branches down on the Malahide road in the morning. Still nothing worse than a bad winters day that if the media didn’t mention it nobody would notice.

    It even has dwellings highlighted. I can see my gaff!

    When it's over water it's spinning like mad anti clockwise, but water is fairly slippy so it doesn't get a grip and only gradually curves to the right in our neck of the planet.
    As soon as it's over land, much better grip and it curves waaay more dramatically to the right.
    But land is kryptonite to hurricanes.
    Kills them dead.

    Surely it’s just the jet stream pushing it?
