If all that recent nonsense was not enough, it’s exactly what we need now..
Lorenzo: 155mph winds as record-breaking hurricane creeps across Atlantic
The hurricane set a record overnight for being the strongest ever to make it so far east, while the remnants could hit the UK.

Probably the fault of treacherous Remainers or the EU or both

Isn't this the same weather scenario we had two or three years ago?
Is that this Wednesday or next
Towards the end of this week coming.
According to the look ahead weekly forecast on Countryfile, it could go either of 2 ways (they've ran 2 models) from Thursday onwards: spin up the Atlantic and the west coast catches some wind n rain, or hit the south west then north west as low pressure and push up the uk as heavy wind r rain. Basically they don't know.... yet!

It’s been blowing pretty hard all day down here on the Solent, and that’s just the leading edge of it!
Ouch! I remember that! 1987 it was. We had a big storm as well. But nothing compared with the UK's storm! Then living in the NE of the Netherlands, the storm swept away some roof tiles from my roof during the evening and early night. Next morning, when I arrived at my school where I was a teacher, more than 1500 tiles (later count) had been blown off the roof during the evening and night. Had the storm arrived a little earlier, we wouldn't have been able to let the kids go home safely!

I was in my first year of a University when the 1987 storm hit.
I was at Bath, which if anyone else knows the uni , it is on the top of an exposed hill (Claverton Down).I was then 8 floors up at the top of the tower block on top of Claverton Down. Still remember it scaring the bejesus out of me.

I usually find this website a bit too addictive when these hurricanes show...
