I just walked to the shop to buy some guinness

where the fuck is this storm. it's just a bit breezy - I was expecting something along the lines of the perfect storm, houses capsizing and all

 

[Taffer]

Getting worried now, almost out of Jammy Dodgers and only have fig rolls left.

 

[daviyoung]

Nowy wrong with fig rolls, I've got a lovely parkin cake to tide me over, I might make a flask of tea, just in case the power goes.

Get you candles ready.

Bad thing: I am working tomorrow.

Good thing: IF it really is bad then it won't be too busy.

It's only a couple of hours away now, you should start getting some intense rain soon, then the wind.

I can see the headlnes now...

I will use the wife's mountain of scented ones, if the unlikely happens.

Oooh, sky water in South west London, it's coming.

Nothing will compare to a thunderstorm we had here in Bournemouth in December last year.

I normally sleep through them and everything, but this was so loud it woke me, and so loud that I actually ran to the window and loaded up BBC news on my phone to check we weren't at war and under attack. It sounded like a massive explosion.

Turns out it hit a school and a hotel.

Hell of a storm, that.

Windstorms are a different kind of beast, so you probably won't be getting any thunder.

 

[JackAubrey]

Another member of DorsetGAF checking in. Lots of rain but much wind yet. But that's because the storm isn't due until around midnight.

 

[Plasma]

I'll have to work at home tomorrow from the looks of things, C2C are cancelling all services until 9.00am.

 

[slider]

Pity Sky News do not have Naz on air all day. Missed opportunity :/

What the hell happened to Lucy Verasamy?

Anyway, rain coming down heavier now. Stay dry Surrey GAF.

I know. I'm just saying that it was epic

I'm in Surrey, which town are you in? Only a little wind here in Sutton.

Esher. Let us know if/when it gets to you!

Cat's just walked in through the cat flap. He knows what's up.

 

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Mine too, he was soaked. The storm already claims its first victim.

 

[mrbaba]

UK Gaffer reporting in too, in South East and all looks fine! No rain and not much wind yet...

 

[Race to be King]

Bristol. Rain.

 

[Oxx]

I have a blocked nose. Must be the pressure. #ukstorm

 

[vordhosbn]

Bristol. Rain.

same. it was worse last week.

well this is embarassing for british metereologists...

 

[StalkerUKCG]

well this is embarassing for british metereologists...

Its serious here, Still night, No Rain.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

It's not meant to start until midnight.

Edit: And now the QEII Bridge will be closed in the early hours.

that was my old school that got hit. unbelievable - it's burned down TWICE. poor guys

oh and that storm was nothing compared to the one two years ago, where people were KAYAKING down Bournemouth gardens. never seen so much water

 

[CorrisD]

Well it's a little windy and rainy here in cardiff, when is this storm supposed to hit us, this is normal autumn weather so far, and in already bored of stepping in puddles, lol.

Bad thing: I am working tomorrow.

Good thing: IF it really is bad then it won't be too busy.

I thought the same thing till I remembered people can drive straight to where I work and come in without having to be in the rain, and with it being half term, it will either be nice and quiet or much worse than it would be usually.

There was a guy skiing down a road in Bristol during the last snowstorm.

 

[Lakitu]

Raining here in London. Stay safe tomorrow, UK-Gaf.

 

[ZiggyRoXx]

The stars have aligned...

have a BT openreach engineer coming tomorrow because my FTTC connection keeps being disrupted in strong winds, which results in multiple dropped connections, which results in my line speed being dropped...finally they'll be able to see I'm not kidding.

Do you know how difficult it is to arrange strong winds during an engineers visit.

I remember that. Good times, though that was more the fallout being impressive than the storm itself.

Which road? Please tell me it was Vale Street in Totterdown. He would have broken the sound barrier.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Two extremes.

 

[Randdalf]

Park Street, naturally.

edit: just searched for Vale Steet on Google, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhwvqSB_9q8 wow, I knew Bristol had steep hills in places, but not that steep.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Light drizzle = OMG DEATH STORM!

 

[Race to be King]

Park Street, naturally.

Erk! How many cars did he hit before they scraped him up and packed him off to the BRI?

 

[Monkeylord]

In preparation for what is sure to be a momentous storm, I'm watching Sharknado. Hoping there'll be some good survival tips.

 

[Bergsy]

We have rain in Greater London, RAINAGEDDON

 

[Walshicus]

I'll have to work at home tomorrow from the looks of things, C2C are cancelling all services until 9.00am.

I really want to do this but Virgin Media have fucked up our phones again so the ADSL is down. Kilobytes per second ain't gonna cut it.

 

[Addnan]

Raining in London. The end is up us.

 

[Baskcm]

All calm here in the north east will probaly amount to nothing

 

[Maklershed]

Pity Sky News do not have Naz on air all day. Missed opportunity :/

Wow. I wanna move to England just for your weather coverage. :b

 

[Talents]

Man, Imma be pissed if there is no storm. I was getting hyped for it.

 

[PJV3]

Kingston upon Thames bodycount: 0
Wind speed: unimpressive

 

[Rich!]

I just let my cat in.

Had to dry her off with a towel. Haven't seen such a wet pussy in a while.

 

[cyberheater]

Right. I'm off to bed. Stay safe folks and good luck.

 

[noal]

Light drizzle in Staffordshire and hardly any wind but need to go bed now so I'll check in again tomorrow to see if the fireworks have materialised.

 

[SuperSah]

Absolutely pissing it down in East London.

Super cold.

1.5-2.5hr till drop.

 

[nOoblet16]

Liverpool, and it was a paartially sunny but windy day...no rain.
Really calm with 13c temperature right now though.
