    High winds in West Mayo since about 7 pm today,
    Gusts severe enough to knock people
    Aran island ferry cancelled
    Fishing boats sheltering at Killlybegs
    Thanks to the Met office for forecasting this
    It may have been quieter elsewhere but imho RTE were correct to inform us

    Fair play to met eireann for handling this well, it could have had a huge impact and rightly met eireann had us warned in advance of its potential. I am not sure whether to be embarrassed for them or piss myself laughing at how OTT RTE have been, i'll probably do both

    Absolutely spot on. We are in a very changebable location for weather. Just as easy the storm could have swung over the country.

    They were dead right. You have plenty of time to pick up new shoes / set of headphones / pint of milk.
    AFAIR people got stranded and one got killed the last time around due to their businesses being opened despite weather warnings.
    If they get it slightly wrong sometimes then so what. There's more to life than shopping.

    Hmm.. Hotburger.. Not a bad name for a hurricane that....

    List of the next 8 hurricane names....

    Melissa
    Nestor
    Olga
    Pablo
    Rebekah
    Sebastien
    Tanya
    Van

    Apparently the names that are not used get put away until 2025. No idea why but all I know is there will be a whole lot of ****e memes knocking around the Internet when hurricane van kicks into gear 🙄

    If you didn't buy in to the drama of the build up on this forum?

    If you ignored all the crap on social media?

    If you laughed at the so called mainstream media over hyping it?

    If you actually followed the ME forecasts (as in read them)?

    Your day both work and social was not affected anywhere in the country.

    ME did feck all wrong. The media and some weather enthusiasts added fuel to a fire that sheep like people embraced.

    Grandeeod ; THANK YOU! The nimbyism and illiteracy in these pages....frustrated thrill seekers..They need a real disaster to remind them ..
