  1. My school is doing online learning for tomorrow only, there’ll be a lot of “downed” Wi-Fi tomorrow…also, students don’t have their book, really fckin pointless tbh.

  2. Is the East likely to get worse? I work outside and they’ve not mentioned this storm at all. I also cycle to work so maybe I won’t tomorrow morning.

  3. What’s the deal if wfh and wifi/electric goes? Surely they can’t ask you to travel to the office if the schools are out and it’s a red warning?

  4. Am I missing something here ? I’m in Meath and we’re hearing that schools and creches are closing tomorrow !

    We’ve had storms before and schools etc were open(Parent who has just found out creche is shut tomorrow and is now struggling to figure out work and childcare tomorrow! )

  5. Totally off topic, but I’m always mildly delighted for the Met Éireann guys when there’s a weather emergency. I imagine them all excited in their office. Maybe they get a storm cake.

  6. Closing schools and creches in Orange areas is an over reaction. This is not something we did in the initial days of the colour warning system.

    Are the government just gone mental now with abundance of caution in every facet of life?

  7. Spent 2 minutes looking at that map trying to figure out how Kerry had floated off from the rest of Ireland

  8. What was a name of that storm few years ago that everyone was panicking about but in the end it didn’t manage to tip a single wheelie bin over?

  9. There’s a big Ferris wheel in the top floor carpark at The Square in Tallaght,
    Can’t wait to see who’s garden it’ll end up in
