Batten down the hatches.
Possibility of another severe storm going to hit the UK, similar to 87, around the end of November. Anyone else heard about this. ?

UK media winds the public up so much its a wonder they know what to believe.
But the telegraph says people are being asked to evacuate their homes.

Re: Batten down the hatches.
Yep, we have had the warnings - something about the Thames flood barriers closing - although I didnt hear the full news as we kept losing signal on our TV. Dont know if anyone can add to that?

Re: Batten down the hatches.
The news speaks of flooding on the east coast and a possible storm surge. The surf report is for a 13.5 foot swell at my local beach, so I'm sorted. Better surf than the east coast of Aus, shame about the water temps.
