Hairy Poppins Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I saw a tornado warning for the island of Ireland and the Isle of Man... can't find it again. Looked official enough. Who knows. Wasn't planning to head out tonight anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hurricane is just any tropical storm with winds over 75mph. Most of our storms in Autumn are ex-hurricanes from the carribean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not seen the sea so angry in a while and it’s still an hour to high tide. Fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I've just looked at the local weather report, and it just mentions amber warnings. Channel 4 weather may have said there was a possible hurricane warning in Northern Ireland, but l only caught the last bit of the weather report, so l could be wrong.

Roger Mexico Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Government issued warning about 45 minutes ago: The public are being advised not to travel this evening (Sunday 21 January) between 8pm and midnight as Storm Isha strengthens from gale to storm force with gusts of up to 80 mph expected. An amber weather warning is in place, meaning there is likely to be travel disruption, damage to property and the risk of injury. Severe gale force south to southwest winds will create large waves, leading to coastal overtopping at high tide around 8:20pm. This will see moderate overtopping of waves and a risk of significant debris around some exposed coastal roads and promenades. Areas affected include Shore Road (Rushen), Castletown Promenade, the northern end of Douglas Promenade, and to a lesser extent Laxey and Ramsey promenades. Heavy rain is also expected for short periods, meaning a slight risk of localised flooding. This evening’s flights to and from the Isle of Man have been cancelled as have Isle of Man Steam Packet sailings, including the overnight sailing from Heysham to Douglas. The Mountain Road is currently closed. The National Sports Centre and the Villa Marina and its grounds will close at 7pm. Bus Vannin is continuing to operate its services. Emergency services will monitor developments through the evening and respond to any disruption. Anyone who needs to report a risk to public safety should dial 999. To report non-emergency road issues, Highway Services can be contacted on 672000. The Isle of Man Constabulary is providing updates on Facebook to keep the public informed. Wind speeds are expected to drop overnight but those travelling on Monday morning should take extra care as there will be debris and standing water on roads, pavements and footpaths.

I went to Derbyhaven earlier and watched the Loganair Scotland flight abort landing and head back! Genuinely difficult to walk at times! Dog is going to need a walk shortly. That's going to be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
