Good morning 👋

How are we all?

Hope everyone staying safe whilst this storm hits us all.

Currently enjoying the sounds of heavy wind and rain hitting against my windows.

Wind and rain is already pretty harsh where I am, bin collection and buses are off too. Was supposed to go to the theatre tonight but looks like it'll be called off, bugger. Stay safe, everyone.

Remember the storm of 1987 … ‘why weren’t we told and prepared’ etc 🤷‍♂️

So if people aren’t informed … we complain … if people are informed … we complain!

We live in a world of graduated risk management now, on the principle of inform and prepare. Personally, I’d rather know in advance … rather than … ‘where the fuck did that come from!’

However, I do agree that the media have a lot to answer for in sensationalising everything and over reporting … cos it’s a story!

Wind is above 70mph at the minute and to increase in the next couple of hours.

All schools, shops and businesses are closed for most of today and a do not travel warning issued.

I've seen the widespread damage done with recent storms and trees across roads and swathes of forest brought down so this is going to be much worse.

I'm just waiting on the usual social media pics from the top of a mountain or along the seafront from the actual twats.

In the 30 minutes since I wrote this the windspeed has increased to 92mph so it's no joke.

So 100 plus mph winds, thousands of fallen trees and road closures and tens of thousands with no electricity or heating is sensationalised?

I grew up and lived in Blackpool for many years so I've seen a bit of wind.

What we used to call a bit of a blow is now sensationalised with a name and 24 hour rolling news cover as if it's the apocalypse.

A few slates will be blown of, a tree or two will fall over and someone will lose an advertising board. It's a winter storm.

All will be well tomorrow.

Damage to the cladding on one of my bay windows, lots of neighbours have lost a lot of tiles, one house round the corner lost part of their roof, lots of flooding but the sea defences kept the high tides at bay with the winds.

Not as bad as expected but the storm and potential damage risk is still high.

We've always called it weather.

It's rough here now and has been since this morning.

I walked to the shops and back really bracing.....

The trains never used to stop running and people never stayed home.

It's all part of giving something a bad name and making people fearful.

Sure , even an idiot would know not to stand under loose roof slates or on a slippy bridge edge but ffs......... it's the wind.

My bin lids are ALWAYS battened down ...... just part of living on Earth.
