Indeed. The storm won't stop at Belcoo or Middletown etc just because humans put a line on a map.
Stay safe and may we all be posting again from tomorrow.

Plenty of trees down and power out in Cork already...

Just to clarify the fake news spread on social media last night you're still insured if you drive during the weather warning!!

Some people will blindly believe anything that's on a computer screen it really is ridiculous!!

Trees starting to bend here in Tipp now. It's weird though. Big heavy wind for 5 minutes, then an eerie calm again. I think peak will be with us around 12 to 3.

I thought it was probably nonsense when I first heard it but it would make sense, like you wouldn't drive through a bonfire and expect to be paid on a claim for fire damage. If you're taking unnecessary risk why would they pay out?

They reckon it's not going to hit until about 3pm tomorrow. In the local primary school p1-p3 get out at 2pm every day. Just let the whole school out at 2pm. Simples.  No need for school closures if managed correctly.

You're literally insane.

Correct Syferus, only possibility. I haven't heard tripe like this in years

I'm hoping fact he used the word 'simples' meant it was a sarcastic post!!

yes, i was being sarcastic but in all seriousness let's hope people don't do anything stupid and stay safe.

Galbally in Limerick is one of the maddest places in the world. Remember the Timmy Ryan 'pull hard, let every stroke be a funeral' sketch from D'Unbelievables? That's based on Galbally.

But it's going to stop at the border - no red warning for the north yet.

Despite Barra Best's "best" attempts BBCNI still taking the line that this is all happening far, far away. ;D

The "Irish Republic" is far, far away for Unionists, as they rarely if ever cross the imaginary border. It might as well be Southern Yemen to them.

I think he's confusing extremists with unionists.

She's getting rowdy here in Tipp now. This seems to give a good indication. Click on any part of the country and it gives you the average wind at that time. It doesn't include gusts, which is what we're seeing so far.

Around Kenmare seems to be getting the worst at the moment.

There's a hell of a lot of them that would fit that description.
