    The sea only effects a tiny part of the orange alert area.

    Its trees down and power cuts that would be a bigger issue. And I can't see much of that happening in the Limerick and Kerry orange alert areas.

    Do you know it hasn’t actually arrived yet ?

    Looking at the visible satellite...

    It's still off the west coast?
    Did it not track inland at all?

    It's happening tonight.

    How is it turning in to a flop when the orange warning is in effect 40 mins now and has another 11 hours 20 mins to go????


    From following the experienced people on the technical thread.

    The media have hyped this to the last.

    RTE live now from Killybegs and it looks like a perfectly calm evening.

    One trawler hasn't bothered returning to shore.

    Live from Kerry now and its a perfectly calm evening, almost one hour into an orange alert.

    that will be up the other end of the country by then up the north end of the country

    It’s turning SE after landfall, that’s not north as far as basic geography and orientation goes.

    Even then it depends. If you're tucked up behind a hill from where the wind is blowing your experience is different.

    Why has it stalled so much off the coast?
    Must be losing a lot of strength now surely.

    It has gone past Cork to the west heading north. Then it will turn Donegal Sligo region and move cross country.

    Danger seekers who ignore orange warnings to stay away from coastlines, but they have to go in to the ****in sea instead. No sympathy from me.

    There's a status yellow for Dublin where the sun is shining and a lovely sunny afternoon and there's a yellow warning in Sligo where trees are getting bent over and it's pissing rain.
    Nothing much happening in Sligo at all,a few gusts earlier on but nothing more than you would expect on a winters day.

    It happened in Wexford, nothing to do with the storm I suspect.

    But no doubt RTE will latch onto it.

    My comment about this tree was moved to the chat discussion because it wasn't technical but the photo of the fallen tree remains..


    You gave valuable technical information about the root structure iirc, which justified that this weather event was not typical.


    whereas the OP was on the lines of 'oh look, a fallen tree'

    I was talking to someone from Salthill, Galway today. He remembers in the 70s and 80s that the local kids would love big storms. They would all head out to the promenade with their roller skates and let the wind bring them up and down the path/road. That would be frowned upon in today's safety first world.

    Well Wexford was in the yellow warning all day and until 6pm, so maybe there is a moral to this story...
