Storm Chasing

[isha]

Oh sure lookit, may as well wonder if this will happen. I'll keep an eye out.

I have to laugh though, I often see people remark about storms "Oh, it will miss us, it will track north, only the northwest will get a blast". Are we not included in the "us" in Ireland? There's quite a lot of us over and up here. Why are we not considered part of Ireland?

Anyway some terrifying graphics. Every storm chasing thread needs those.

PS this new storm, after Nigel which just avoided us, is called Ophelia

Although if it gets here Hurricane Ophelia trans-forms (get it?) into Storm Ciarán.

I'll keep posting here at least until Storm Isha which is upcoming.......

I'll go with Leo on this one.

Still in uncertain territory. For now it looks worse in the south.
Meanwhile today was unusually windy and extremely rainy and no one warned me.

I'd say that will be like the unleashing of the hounds of hell!

It's going to be Storm Agnes. Looks like the south may get it. So now that it's not just NW affected, things are real again

Fastnet will be getting a right battering ...

Agnes could turn into a very wet and extremely windy day on Wednesday, particularly for the South and East. Get all your loose garden stuff put away and beware if falling trees etc as most are still in full leaf. Be careful out there folks!

[isha]

If Agnes isn't here til tomorrow, then wtf is this BIBLICAL rainfall now?

[isha]

Plus I wholly agree with Sharon here. How the hell is this already brutally waterlogged encampment supposed to survive a storm? It's crazy. It's not fair.

[Del.Monte]

The sign needs to go up - NO ROOM AT THE INN - this nonsense cannot go on indefinitely.
