Hurricane on the way for Southern England

<pedant>It's not a hurricane</pedant>

Will we be getting northerly winds if that prediction is true? Far less problematic for the coast if so... Force-12 southerly winds, now that would make for some great footage in Cornwall.

Quite. Hurricanes have a warm core. These have cold cores so cannot be called hurricanes. Perhaps there's a gap in the market? Possible plan B?

The wind is getting up in cornwall. 41mph gusts in Penzance. Watch out for flying clotted cream teas.

What will be the cost to the economy?

However much the Chancellor needs an excuse for when this month's figures come out

This is sustained gusts over a 1 minute period. This will pull down trees, rip off roofs, windows in high rise flats blown in, fences taken down, power cuts lasting up to a week, most caravans destroyed if in the dirct wind. To give you an idea, Hurricane Ivan was a category 3 Hurricane.

How will Ecospaces be effected?

Eco sheds will be the worst affected.

So it'll be like one of those things in The Day After Tomorrow, when the helicopters drop out of the sky?

Bit blowy here in Luton. Just took the rubbish out and had to pop my hood on. Raining a wee bit too. :\
