Good luck riding the storm guys.
Hope there are no calamities where you are. The title of the Mastermind theme-tune seems appropriate. Pam in Bristol |

Pam in Bristol I've done as much as I can to batten down the hatches. Last time there were winds of this predicted force I had a tree down in my garden. The wind has been strengthening all day, I thought it would so I put my washing machine on overnight, pegged the clothes out this a.m. and have got all them all dry :-) I'm expecting some damage if it materialises, let's hope it won't be as bad as forecast. Stay safe, folks Tina in Leics |

If it's as bad as 87 there won't be any old trees left in the south. We have tried to peg down our chilli cloches on the allotment and make sure nothing can blow about but I have no doubt there will be damage, it was our house roof last time that lost a ridge tile. Even more glad I had the big Robinia down in the front garden. Stay safe, stay indoors away from flying objects. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Stay safe, folks I suspect the Met Office is suffering from a phobia of "another Michael Fish moment", or is trying to get politicians to realise that we do need to continue funding them. For most places it isn't going to be anywhere near as bad as they were thinking it /might possibly/ be a few days ago. South coast will get it in the neck though.

I'll tell you in two days time whether I needed to worry about a hurricane which I'll get tonight. Both the GFS model and the MetOffice model indicate that in Leicester the winds will be 18-21mph mean, gusting to 36-38mph. Hurricane is 75mph mean and above. Of course, local conditions may be different, but that's /always/ the case. |

We have a warning about we are going to get high winds and you might be lucky if you don't. |

Well here around Swansea Bay the wind at the Mumbles gusted to 59mph or over for 7 hours, with a base speed of 40mph and over for 11 hours. David |
