Reply to: The Real Reason For the Current Storm

I'd just like to address an inaccuracy here.

In fact, the storm was well-forecast. Forecasts are based on model output data: there was good agreement with this for a track across N England at the end of last week and over the weekend the output started to produce solutions with an increasingly southern track and forecasts were updated accordingly.

Severe weather, with trees down, power disruption, structural damage and coastal flooding occurred at locations across S Wales, the SW corner of England and the Channel Islands. Anyone reading the latest from the Met Office on Sunday would have agreed that this was a good call by them.

Tomorrows morning Storm will track further North - I expect 60 mph plus winds across a wide area of Central / North England. This is actually quite high wind speeds fro inland areas and it will result in damage / transport problems.

Sunny and dry in Swindon mate.

Totally hyped

This morning, despite yesterday's doom predictions of a repeat of October1987's damage, they still try and keep all the hype that worse is yet to come tonight.
Storm in a teacup, more likely.

If an old lady farts in the forest, and there is no-one there to hear it, does she make a sound?

Clearly depends on the type of flatulance

check out fart.type in the 'farters guide to immortality' manual

It's not over till the fat lady farts?

Only on this board could a post about the end of the world end up with a comment about old ladies farting.

Sheer genius.

How will the world end? Not with a bang, but an old lady's fart.

Almost poetic.

I heard an old lady blow off. The smell made tears run down my cheeks.
