Are we all going to die?

[IAmADescendantOfSweepTheSqueakyLegend]

First we get that alarm, now Tesco is closed tomorrow. It's the end, isn't it?

I think you should start your own thread.

Go to Waitrose then! 😂

Leave her outside to be SMOTE by Eowyn.

I thought I had posted my own! Brand new here!

I'm in NI, and it's being taken extremely seriously. Who knows whether or not the predictions will be correct, but if lives can potentially be saved, I am all for it!

All schools and Education Authority premises are closed, surgeries and o/p appointments have been cancelled, PSNI have declared an emergency, there have been statements from the First and Deputy First Minister, plus an ACC from PSNI. Most businesses are closed - some may open tomorrow afternoon once the red warning expires, though we are still expected to be on an amber warning.

I am thankful that my DC1 and DC2 don't have to go to work, nor does DC3, and DH and I can wfh as we mostly do anyway.

As I said above, I clearly recall 1987 where the Met Office in the form of the hapless Michael Fish, stated that there wouldn't be a storm... and they were devastatingly wrong. I would sooner be overprepared than underprepared.

Stay safe everyone!

Nope, you need to press the 'start thread' button on the top right.

We will forgive you though lol and welcome to MN!

We don't have Waitrose in NI.

Tesco is closed, SuperValue is closed, and even Eurospar is closed.

I knew we were doomed when McDonald's closed....!

The only way to eat papaya is with a very generous squeeze of lime juice. Match made in heaven!

I can’t work out how to delete the comment from this thread. Gosh what a mess. Thank you for being forgiving!

I love papaya. It's also a good weaning food. Hope this doesn't mean there's going to be a run on it.

My 11 year old daughter jumped out of her skin. We were in a pizza restaurant ans she was just logging into their WiFi when her phone went off. Really loud and alarming. She was so shocked she threw her phone across the table at me.

If I survive this, and Tesco reopens, I'll be there queuing up for papaya and limes.

You can't, not to worry! x

Fml

I think you'll catch your bloody death and need to cover up.

Or maybe just start your own thread. This one is about the horrible weather.

It's still calm here (Belfast area). Seems to be kicking off a bit in Galway from what I have seen online!

Anyone else?

North Down coast and it’s really picked up here in the last half an hour or so

There's nothing here at all.

Speak for yourself, OP! I know that others are going to die, but I'm less sure about me. I just don't think that dying is the sort of thing I would ever do. It's so un-me.

As someone married to an emergency responder… please could you not, just for tomorrow? It’ll be carnage enough already.

Go you. Enjoy that delusion.

Apparently our Tesco sold out of bread 🤣🤣 It will reopen 6pm. Last warning we had in Scotland we renamed it Hurricane Bawbag as was just a strong wind fir a few hours. Here's hoping this us Bawbag #2

Carnage? As in, widespread violent and bloody death and slaughter?

I'm never going to get my fucking papayas now, am I?

Never mind Tesco and Marks, hurry up and see if Tiffany is open. Because nothing bad can happen in Tiffany.

Come back to me once you’ve dragged bodies from accident scenes.
