Just watched a forecast and at the moment it's looking like Ireland will bear the brunt of Ophelia, though the UK will also get strong winds depending on location (looks like where I am will be mostly escaping the worst)...
Typical ain't it? Two Aladdin lamps, an Aladdin heater, three gas mantle lamps, two portable gas heaters, two gas stoves, five lanterns, plenty battery powered LED lights, two generators, and no good emergency reasons to put them to use...

But I guess it's like the old saying, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...
