Hi Frank, I live on the West Coast of Ireland, Galway Bay, and woke this morning to very strong winds and rain, so I reckon we definately have the remanants of Orphelia. We had Katya a couple of weeks ago and I never heard winds like it in all my life. I feel for the folks that have these buggers regularly.
Any news on Phillipe for us yet?Or is it still a tropical storm?
FR: Phillipe could become a minimal hurricane in the next few days, but it seems to be tracking farther south and east than Ophelia did. I haven't seen any long-range predictions yet for its track beyond the weekend..

It was quite an eye-opener to read and see pictures of the damage Katya did in the UK some weeks ago. We here in the states forget that these hurricanes can remain quite strong and wreak havoc on others long after they've departed our regions and we have forgotten about them.
