Ireland looks dodgy.

I really meant to phrase that differently. I'll fix it.

An odd path. Does not happen much.

Ophelia is upgraded to a Category 2 hurricane (100 mph sustained winds), and is projected to still have hurricane force strength when it gets near Ireland.

Almost 30 years to the day after the great storm of '87.

Is this unusual for Ireland to have a hurricane roll over it?

Animavore · **#11** by **Animavore** » Oct 13, 2017 8:42 am

Yes. Quite rare. Once a century maybe.

I'm very worried. This is clearly Gods way of telling Ireland to pray the gay away or don't decriminalise blasphemy or err something and given his notoriously bad aim the hurricane will probably hit London instead.

I think it's God's punishment for Ireland's resistance to Trump's extension of his golf.

Hurricane Ophelia path — live updates: Latest news as tropical storm set to make landfall in the UK

The UK and Ireland are bracing for the landfall of Hurricane Ophelia, as the storm makes its way north from the mid-Atlantic.

The southwest of Ireland is expected to bear the brunt of the severe weather, which could bring winds of up to 80mph, heavy rains and high seas early next week.

The Irish weather service, Met Éireann, has warned there is “still a high degree of uncertainty regarding the exact track and evolution of the storm”. A yellow weather warning is in effect.

Hurricane Ophelia is currently a Category Two storm and is expected to gain strength as it moves north east towards Britain and Ireland, according to the National Hurricane Centre (NHC).

We're breaking records every year. We're even breaking records on how many records we break each year.

Maybe not enough dead orphans burred under Catholic care homes.

I think you were right the first time, we let the fucker build his golf course unfortunately, I think Ireland may have said ... eh, no, you're alright. He also now owns Turnberry, which is now losing millions a year. I expect he'll just walk away leaving everyone out of a job, as is his wont.
