    Yes, and the worst will hit in about 5 hours.
    I know we have many members on here from the UK, and I have family.

    Thank you. Not long ago we had St Jude, which was basically a hurricane in some parts, our part I'm not sure. We are meant to get 100mph which is defo hurricane winds. Scary but thankfully most of us live in brick houses.

    Flights are being diverted.......someone posted on youtube planes attempting to land in Birmingham - they can't because of the winds...also in Scotland. That other storm heading in from Scotland is the one that is going to flood the coast. Keep safe!!!

    I am in Blackpool, the north west and we have had problems, we had sea floods as it was high tide too, so sea came over the defences and they had to close the prom

    Its the Daily Mail. Roughly translated the article means "it'll be a bit windy".

    We had some lorries blowing over on the motorways I hear. And some coastal regions have been evacuated. Scotland is getting the brunt of it. But for most of us we're safe thanks :) It was rather windy here, I lost a some tiles off of my shed and my greenhouse had an episode, but other than that it was 'interesting' :D

    I posted the link the Daily Mail because it has the most information. I don't find it funny when people die.

    Then you have missed all the articles they have run forewarning us of "the big freeze" that we are supposedly due. What it really means is "the mild winter continues".


    Its been pretty windy, don't get me wrong, but nothing like the hurricanes you get over there.
