There's going to be a lot of badly constructed roofs for outdoor spaces (made in the couple of years) ending up as projectiles.

Wednesday may not be a day to be going for a walk...

Newry Down

The section of the previous storm that struck the north east coast of England is now regarded as the worst in sixty years; massive widespread damage and some still without power. Thousands of acres of trees flattened; many old trees uprooted.

Storms are getting worse; this is the reality of climate disruption caused by global warming and sea rise/temperature increase of water.

It is not about scaring people; do not be complacent.

Take in trampolines and garden furniture. Store bins securely. If your house is built on a floodplain, prepare sandbags or flood screens.

Park cars away from old trees. Do not go out when the wind is predicted to be worst.

Exercise cautioun, especially those down south and particularly if on high grounds. Storms like this often frighten people especially older people so check in with your folks if they are still around.

Even better fill two flasks if you rely on electricity...

My kettle on the 1940ties solid fuel Rayburn is always on the simmer. It's my future proof heating/cooking system when everything fails or when the data centres eventually suck up all the electricity.

Biscuit with the tae?

I do find it funny that many in yellow status counties are scoffing at this storm,when in reality its the southwest that's taking the hit in the main, so yeah status yellow isn't an issue and remember we are about 6 hours into an 18 hour event,it will move around abit. For the status red counties they are getting battered in parts.

no doubt parts of the country are bad but listening to the radio news for this area last night, made it out to be alot worse then what it is.

Who's scoffing?

It's yellow where I am, but I still wouldn't, say, go cycling.

Things like working on scaffolding are obviously out.

Yes, it's mostly just common sense, but sometimes we need a bit of direction and leadership to save people from taking unnecessary risks.
