Storm Dudley/Eunice/Franklin

[DTKOAG]

Sat here at Manchester Airport and the BBC app is showing as 68MPH winds between 11.00 - 12.00.
The trees outside are not moving one bit...
Long live the BBC licence fee FFS..

Meteogroup nowadays, they stopped using the met office a couple of years ago.

Met Office app is much better though.

Don't let facts get in the way of an opportunity to bash the BBC.

Not sure why you take pleasure in being flippant.

These lazy tropes of 'southern softies'. They are as boring as the lazy tropes about northerners. I could put you in various parts of London and you would shit yourself, Mr Hardman.

Are you referring to Islington?

Is anyone else under impressed by this massive over hype about a windy day? I appreciate it could get worse but these journalists really are trying to magnify the situation.

I bet they go searching for the location that will give the most windy and best effect pictures they can. One sky journalist was leaning into the wind giving the impression it was hard to stand up... behind her a middle aged/elderly couple were sauntering along the promenade.

So fear and hype aside, it is no worse than many of the other storms we have encountered in recent years.... so far

I do hope karma doesn't come and pay me a visit. (and I am about 8 miles from Porthcawl)

The journalists and media are just looking for a story, the people to blame for the hysteria are the Met Office who started naming gales and severe gales incorrectly as storms for dramatic effect 7 years ago, they also introduced yellow, amber and red weather warnings which are also very dramatic and are regularly applied to everyday winter low pressure systems and typical wet weather.

That said Eunice is actually meteorologically classed as a storm, the first to hit England since the naming started in 2015. Average wind speeds in several places along the south coast have exceeded 48knots this morning which is the threshold for a storm on the beaufort wind scale. Luckily it is more localised than the Met Office forecast and the rest of England appears to be experiencing wind speeds less than gale force, especially north of the M4 Corridor.

If he insists on doing that Kaz, I really would keep your husband inside.

No doubt you'l' get the idiots down at the harbour filming themselves trying to dodge waves so they can post the video on their social media accounts...

On the upside, it's a form of natural selection!

 

[BlueHammer85]

If there was no media reporting and everything remained open as normal then there would likely be a lot of lives lost today

but because everywhere is pretty much shut down and most people are staying inside then likely we'll all be ok- but then you get the idiots that say 'See, what was all the fuss about! ''

How's Kaz's pussy?

Windy but not wet

Windy but not wet

Give it time.

Let's hope a particularly big wave sweeps the bastards away once and for all.

Locked down in Cornwall....Im right on the north coast in Newquay....was wild this morning but seems to have settled a bit...but supposed to be worse later. Schools, colleges etc are all closed for the day

We were in Newquay in 87 when the huge storm arrived. Came out of a nightclub about half one and everything was blowing around. drove (as you did then) to the Headland Hotel and watched the waves crashing into the shore. Bloody spectacular!

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Its all very well you lot making light of this terrible storm, my peg basket has just blown over on the grass & the pegs have gone everywhere!
