How is one supposed to prepare for a hurricane?? I don't really want to spend the night in my house incase it blows down and squashed me to a slow painful death... I can't think what the safest place wills be for my family and me to go.

[Smithy]

it's not going to be an actual hurricane lee, it'll die out over the atlantic and will just be like a big storm, they'll just call it a hurricane to make it seem big

Its not a hurricane you twit. By the time it reaches here it will be a depression. It will be the remnants of the Hurricane but as we cannot get Hurricanes at this latitude it WILL NOT BE A HURRICANE.

It's not a Hurricane, it's an ex hurricane coming across from the USA, by time it gets here the colder waters would have weakened it signifcantly to a storm level, yes it will be a very major storm for the UK, but not a Hurricane, as at present Hurricanes can not affect the UK as the waters are too cool so they loose there tropical organisation which gives them their hurricane characteristics.

From the met office:

The remains of Hurricane Katia are expected to come across the UK on Monday bringing a spell of very windy weather. There remains some uncertainty about its track and intensity, though with increasing indications that Scotland and Northern Ireland are most likely to bear the brunt the warning has been upgraded to amber here. The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to transport and of the possibility of damage to trees and structures.

It's really calm here atm.

IRELAND will be pummelled by Hurricane Katia from tomorrow night as forecasters warned of winds up to 160kmh causing building damage, coastal flooding, uprooted trees and transport chaos.

Met Eireann was last night considering issuing a severe weather warning today after putting out an advisory yesterday.

"This is on the way and it is a significant storm," Met Eireann forecaster Gerry Murphy said last night.

"It is moving close to us and will generate very strong winds and high waves off the west coast."

Met Eireann has predicted winds of up to 160kmh, with the north seeing the worst winds and sea flooding in Donegal Bay -- as well as Galway Bay and the Shannon estuary and other harbours -- caused by 15-metre waves out in the Atlantic strengthening storm tides.

Britain's Met Office issued a rare extreme weather alert covering all of Ireland, warning of 130kmh winds on Monday causing sea flooding and "phenomenal" ocean conditions expected to cause danger to ships.

Experts said winds were expected to hit 130kmh in Dublin and 105kmh in Cork and warned of damage to house and building roofs and trees, adding that driving could be "very dangerous", especially in the west. Tornados are also a possibility.

Katia, a Category One hurricane with 145kmh winds, is causing seven-metre waves on the US coast before spinning across the Atlantic through the weekend.

iWeather Online Senior Forecaster Peter O’Donnell said: “If you live in Clare, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal, Derry, north Antrim or nearby parts of other counties, and not in some deep valley with hills off to your southwest, you should expect storm or hurricane force wind gusts between six am and 3pm on Monday.

If you live in a region including most of Ulster, Leinster north and west of Dublin, or west Munster, you should be on alert for gusts between gale and storm force in a slightly later time frame. If you live in the southeast, you may be off the hook for now.

The giant storm is carrying 145kmh winds across a 160km-wide centre and tropical storm force winds across a 800km-wide area, with experts expecting only a slight easing before it crashes into the north of Ireland tomorrow night.

Hurricanes can cause huge damage after crossing the Atlantic, as was seen in August 1986, when Hurricane Charley battered Ireland, causing the worst flooding in a century and smashing rainfall records.

Katia's wind gusts are well above the 117kmh speed required for a ranking of hurricane force, meaning it is expected to cause "excessive damage", with sea conditions considered "phenomenal".

The Met Office's alert for Ireland warned of widespread damage to buildings, uprooted trees and transport disruption, saying: "The remains of Hurricane Katia are expected to arrive on Monday, bringing very windy weather.

"The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to transport and of the possibility of damage to trees and structures.

"There remains uncertainty about its track, and warning areas may be extended or upgraded to amber, but the best estimate is that northern and western parts are most at risk from very strong winds."

Met Eireann forecaster David Rogers said: "Hurricane Katia will make the transition into the northern half of the country which will be the windiest -- and weather warnings are a

Most sane, rational people don't tend to hope for natural disasters to befall upon them.

Only if you the wind blows you under a travelling high speed train. When you've been decapitated, I think that counts as being allowed a day off? You might need to check though?

For some reason I thought it was a good idea to leave my window open and the wind blew my mirror off the wall and smashed all over :bored:

Not bad at all here, on and off through the day there's been "bursts" of wind but nothing out of the ordinary, "washing clinging to line" wind which is usual here lmao.

I was lying in bed this morning with the window open, browsing the internet without a care in the world, and then the wind blew a can of tango off my windowsil, it landed on the bed and splashed up all over me, the laptop and the kwilt :bored:

But this weather must continue, we are severly lacking rain at the minute

[Kerry]

Hardly rained here. Just the wind

[Novo]

A lovely bit of wind

Hope the window's open - smelly boy

[Novo]

How dare you accuse me of such madness

[Kerry]

I dare. I'm brave like that

Weather yesterday was MENTAL.

The winds were so strong that they actually stopped me on the spot a few times whilst walking. Frustrating as hell. I'm glad I had bed hair all day :laugh:

Hopefully the worse is over

Best cover-up weather for farting :D

Still quite windy today but not as bad as yesterday. I think calling it a hurricane was blowning it out of proportion http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s12/POTT2007/smileys/emoticon_ShiftyEyes.gif

Did a 600 mile round trip yesterday to Scotland to pick my new car up. driving up and down the M6 in the crosswinds was pretty scary, definitely thought my car was going to blow away :joker:. It was worse near Lancaster when I was pretty close to the sea

Clip here too, seen it on TV this morning of a roof collapsing http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/8758334/CCTV-footage-captures-hurricane-roof-collapse.html

Still really gusty but not as bad. Heard on the forecast another hurricane is due nearby the UK (Maria or something) for the weekend but they're not sure of her exact path yet. Well, as exact as you can get with hurricanes!
