87 revisted ?

Pollyana

I get to start my cyclone season early

You could rock up to the local SES equivalent and see if they could use your expertise! Call it international cooperation or something,

Pollyana

I can't help thinking that a little hut in the middle of Longleat forest is probably not the best place to be sitting out the equivalent of a Cat 2 cyclone!

Don a duffle coat and a flask of bovril and you'll be right

My Emergency Services rainjacket might be more appropriate

A quote from my best mate.

'I drove through Essex yesterday. I saw the devastating weather damage myself...oh wait the storm hasn't hit yet.'

quoll

Probably not!!!!

My sister co-ordinates the emergency responses for Wiltshire, so she is probably the one sitting in a little hut in Longleat!! (Actually it is more of a concrete bunker in Trowbridge.)

First pictures of damage coming through now........

We were supposed to have got some of it here but it barely even rained.

Pollyana

Tracked just up to the east of us so got off lightly though the wind was wild for a bit overnight.
3 people known to have been killed though, a 14 year old allegedly fooling around in the waves in Sussex and got washed away, 17 year old girl killed when a tree fell on her in Kent and a man who died when a tree crushed his car in Watford.

Nowhere near as bad as expected though, and not a patch on 1987.

Daftest comment I have seen so far

"its ridiulous that the police don't carry chainsaws anymore"



From the Daily Mail, strangely enough!!
