Weather Warning (severe wind)

[Star Spangler]

I notice that Meteoalarm (http://www.meteoalarm.eu/) has Ireland at awareness level RED due to wind forecasts.  Meteoalarm describes status RED as "The weather is very dangerous. Exceptionally intense meteorological phenomena have been forecast. Major damage and accidents are likely, in many cases with threat to life and limb, over a wide area. Keep frequently informed about detailed expected meteorological conditions and risks. Follow orders and any advice given by your authorities under all circumstances, be prepared for extraordinary measures."

Time to gather up the garden furniture!

According to the map on the link, the 26 counties can expect red, and the 6 counties can expect orange. How does the wind know to change its strength when it crosses the border?

That reminds me of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. As soon as a crow flies from Fermanagh into Cavan, its taking its life in its hands. Shouldn't there be a sign put up for the poor creatures?

There's always a lot more hot air up in the north, maybe that explains it.
The 6 counties can always expect orange.

I think the speed signs changing to miles per hour is confusing it.

He said it wasn't going to snow last week too!

Is Michael Fish the guy who said not to worry right before the huge storms in England around the late 80's?
