Lorenzo went slightly north. So one data buoy recorded waves in as high as 25 feet. Winds approached 100 km/hr. Landfall apparently only left 4000 in blackout. Commuters mostly unaffected. Irish Coast Guard center in Valentia reported a quite night. A few coastal towns with a few feet of water.
Apparently Ireland suffers little damage from a near category zero hurricane (called an exo tropical storm). A storm equivalent to the so called "Super Storm Sandy" (by the local gossip that hypes fears and emotions rather then news).
