Right, everyone. Goodnight, and good luck.

@hyperlinkyourheart None of that Fenian wind for them border lovers.

@clickhere Almost every time I have a trip to Dublin the weather kicks off lately (snow last time and I think Storm Darragh was an issue in December). Expect there’ll be power cuts in Roscommon so charging up the big EcoFlow so the folks can boil the kettle easily while I’m away

@james Oh yes, absolutely - charge All The Things! :amaze:

@clickhere Ulster Says No to weather with foreign-sounding names!
I’m up there at the moment, I’ll find out if Saying No is effective.

@clickhere it evolved to “Ulster Resists”, if I remember right!

@clickhere that is truly a bad weather-warning if I ever saw one...!!

@meraord I am _not_ liking it. In particular, the whole "danger to life" part. 😦

@clickhere No, I totally understand that... crossing my fingers (or in swedish: holding my thumb) that your home and surroundings will go unharmed.

Your storm will come over to us (Sweden) during the weekend, though in a weakened state... hopefully it won't be as bad for us.

@meraord Woah, it'll travel that far!? Yes, hopefully some of the energy will be gone from it by then.

Thank you! - holding my thumb *and* crossing my fingers here. 🙂

It's going to be crazy here in Dublin, so it could be extremely bad on the west coast. Hopefully everyone will be okay, though.

@clickhere And to you too! Just rain and a breeze so far in #Roscommon

@james Thank you! Yeah, we've had rain and some wind here over the past few hours - I'm kinda bracing for unknown impact.. 😬🤞🏼

@mtechman Never before experienced in recorded memory. The NOAA have hurricane hunters ready for take-off in Shannon Airport.

😦😭

@clickhere It looks scary, and I used to live in Houston! Stay safe and good luck with power outages.

@mtechman Oh my goodness. We're about an hour out from landfall on the west coast (about an hour or two from us here in Dublin) - any last minute tips for hurricane-ish noobs..?

* nervous laugh *

@clickhere @mtechman We filled up 2 flasks with hot water so at least we can have tea while the whole house blows down 😅

@ciaranmak @clickhere having some creature comforts! The worst part for us was mostly after, when we'd lose power and roast in the heat. This is very different, but you'll be OK, and you know how to stay warm.
