Another storm, as intense as Ophelia, is heading towards Ireland

This is not good.

Just as the country tries to recover from ex-hurricane Ophelia, news breaks about another storm potentially heading this direction. TV3 weatherman Deric Hartigan broke the news on Twitter this morning saying that a storm, with similar low-pressure intensity as Ophelia, could hit Ireland on Friday or Saturday. He shared a chart showing the wind gusts forecasted for Friday with a scary band over 100km/h off the coast of Ireland.
