I put up a fence over the weekend, it its still standing after this storm, I done good.

Blowy thing of doom is my name for it.

that Xenja wan just blew my umbrella over the bridge in drumcondra. Wagon!

Was listening to rep from met eireann on radio there. She said that this ‘hurricane’ is no more that a weak storm, and that met eirean never issued a hurricane warning. She also said it was ficticous rumor, created by the media.

Is it pronounced “Xena” by any chance???? She caused a fierce storm wherever she went!

I’d like to call this storm Bertie, because when it leaves it will probably take my house

Definitely more than a breeze blowing here in Clogherhead,even the dog has gone scuttling into her kennel and the waves are huge.

It is lashing out of the heavens here in Kildare….ah sure just another summers day to us!

My wheelie bin just blew over!!!! Ok it was emptied this morning do it was emote but still….DRAMA!!!!

Let’s call it Hurricane Katie for the day that’s in it.

I’m having a BBQ… BYOB! (Bring Your Own Brolly)

Update from Kilkee, Co. Clare. Heavy rain, moderate land winds, calm seas.

What a let down, I think I’ll have to start naming my farts from now on.

Deluge in Galway, and dark as night……. when is summer???????????

getting nasty in cornelscourt now

So far it’s much ado about nothing. Rained for 10mins.

Poured all night, now wind is hosting up nicely!!

A few hurricanes and tornado’s to take out most of dirty dublin city center would be nice. Level it so we can rebuild it again into a modern clean city & remove all the ugly buildings and junkies.

Excuse me , I have no idea how it works , your right i have no idea how it works , well thanks so much for your helpful description , I’m not qualified in how the weather works I would have presumed that’s what the folks we pay in met eireann to do , helpfully inform us based on the data available , something that in my opinion they do a pretty lousy job at…I use various other weather sources online and find them more helpful and communicated in a clear way , I find the met eireann service to be crap without having to be educated on the technical details , what I said was I have lived in many other countries and always found the forecasts to be more accurate and helpful , regardless of my technical knowledge

again met eireann got it wrong a breeze blowing here in athlone.

Didnt hear that raio interview but it would be Typical met eireann getting semantic about storm warning not a hurricane , nice they didn’t issue a hurricane warning……because it’s not a hurricane !!!!!!!!, it’s a storm and a school kid year looking at a satellite pic could predict its gonna rain in ireland , i find met eireann are a useless bunch of muppets who seem to constantly get it more wrong than right….any other country I lived in seemed to give more accurate and helpful weather reports than met eireann
