Superstorm?

[Brandane]

The Daily Express and other scaremongering prophets of doom were telling us that the remains of two hurricanes were going to devastate the north west of Britain today. Now I realise the wind is likely to worsen later, but so far...... It's raining and it's a tad breezy, but the same could be said for just about every day since the beginning of June!

Just another normal day then, so I am trying to plan a ride using the wind to my advantage. The train can bring me back home.

I said something similar. TBF though........one forecaster did say they wouldn't know for certain until "the weekend" when those storms decided what they were going to do.

The Daily Express track record of predicting heat waves, snow or floods is very poor.

That's awful. If a hurricane hit Blackburn the damage could run into the tens of pounds.

At the risk of it all going a bit P&CA, they usually lob a headline out like this when things aren't going well for their favourite political party. Cures for cancer and diabetes are two other favourite standbys.

Oh, forgot bins and light bulbs. Both frequently cause 'revolts'

Snow!

I know we're now in October, but it's still too early.

The Uk always gets a few gales October - these don't look especially bad.

There's an excellent site which shows what is going to happen

Hits down South, it'll be the end of the world!

Handy link - thanks; now bookmarked. Basically tells me what I already knew though, and that is that the west of Scotland is wet, wet, wet.

The copy I passed on the stand yesterday had a headline predicting trouble with too much wind alongside a picture of Theresa May.

That's awful. If a hurricane hit ACCRINGTON the damage could run into the tens of pence

FTFY

Forecast is looking nasty. It could destroy Accy's Bourbon biscuit collection!
