Storm Darrah

That’s humour, isn’t it?
I recognise that.

Thing is MSC, issuing these alerts are minor inconveniences for some people. They are blanket warnings to reach as many as possible.
They’re not singling you out personally. If it doesn’t concern you, ignore it. If alerts are going off all night on your phone, switch them off for 8 hours.

The thing about local areas not being affected and looking out your window confirming it, fair enough, but…,
some people may be planning on travelling and the alerts are generally warning or asking people not to travel to the worst affected areas unnecessarily.

Ask Jimharri. The west of Ireland gets this all winter but there can be some extremes even for the Wesht.
Absolutely. Hence freely available weather forecasting. I use it all the time for fishing.
 
That's no good if you need to know weather in the future or somewhere else though. I quite agree that it gives a good indication of local weather in the here and now.

Just having a pop at those that dismiss storms and events and play the ‘I’m alright Jack’ card - alerts are a great idea and will prevent a lot of damage and even lives in the future

I'm hardly 'alright'. I'm cowering indoors waiting for the life threatening event to end. Sometimes tomorrow later on or Monday apparently. Looks nice next weekend.
 
Read that first line with ‘mate’ at the end instead of ‘pal’ and it doesn’t sound nearly as threatening.
A fellow anti- pal comrade.

I hate being called pal and always thought it sounds mildly aggressive even if not meant that way. Its what a pissed and coked up Glaswegian calls you in a pub the second before he headbutts you.
 
All roofers next week:
