When was the last time Ireland had to deal with a FRIKING HURRICANE ! ?

Today Ophelia was upgraded to cat 3/5 and is approaching the Azores, it should reach Ireland on Monday, very weakened and most probable downgraded to a storm.

But with winds up to 120km/h it will still be serious business.

But with the Irish proverbial luck, you never know.

Better stock up on Guinness boys, just in case.

Good luck to the Irish and God keep you

Ophelia already claimed 3 souls.

Though it is now a post tropical storm, its winds of 130km/h forced the Irish government to close the schools for Monday and Tuesday.

My thoughts go to the people of Ireland tonight.

I`m pretty close to the Ophelia, lucky not on its trajectory - I hope you guys in more north part of EU, GB, Ireland holds up ok.

Interestingly the Brett Dean opera of Hamlet from Glyndebourne is on BBC4 this Sunday.
