Yeah sure, none are really in grave danger, it will pass and we'll clean up like other times it happens, and it might not be as bad as it is made out.

But still, if it was a weekend, I wouldn't send my kids out in it. So them not being out in school, is welcome. I wouldn't go out for a leisure outing, so working from home and cancelling in-persom meetings is ok.

Overall, I don't think the red warning is nanny stating. People can still decide to go rambo if they want to, or they can just sit some bad weather out, like we have been doing for centuries.

The forecasters get crucified if if turns out worse than they predict. They always try to err on the side of caution, which is understandable. Much better than it used to be - remember one morning (early 80’s) watching people driving into the car park at work when a scaffold on the top floor of the building blew down down, poles just missing cars. Scaffold boards flying around - miracle no one was killed or injured. That was the same morning the 350ft-plus concrete cooling tower at Fiddlers Ferry blew down. I don’t remember any warnings being given then.
 
Weather forecast for round here says winds should get up to 50 mph later, scattered showers, brightening up in the afternoon, with highs of Facebook posts about crisp packets around 5 o'clock.
 
Walking the dog this morning and the amount of thick dick heads that put their bins out last night, completely unsupported, have seen all their rubbish covering the roads this morning

I know it's just a storm, but things like this do really make you further doubt the intelligence of the majority

The lazy twats who live next door to me have had a discarded headboard leaning up against their “garage room” for over a month now.

This morning it has relocated itself to the side of the flower bed between our two semi’s. That is probably where it will stay for a good few weeks.

Anybody else with neighbours like that?

No, but got up to feed the dog and let him out. Looks like a roof tile down and smashed at the back door. I’m not sure it’s ours. Looks like it may be from next door’s roof.
Dog’s kennel relocated itself down the garden also. I thought I had secured it, but if that’s the worst, so be it.
 
It’s pretty wild out there but the rain has stopped. I secured everything I could in the garden yesterday, so things are more or less still where I left them.
Even the dog doesn’t want to go out.
Quick piss and straight back in.
 
we are in a red warning zone. What a bloody fright I got when the government warning went off on my mobile yesterday. Winds averaging 45-50 and gusting at over 80mph. Peaks from 10am-5pm today. Mrs has got torches, batteries, charges, flasks at the ready. Be glad when its over tbh, I saw what one of these storms can do at my local fishery a couple of years back. 100's of trees down like a giant had swatted a fly. One of them landed on the guys car writing that off. They spent months with a JCB pulling trees out the loch. Supplied firewood for the whole area though. Scary stuff.
