No rain in Birmingham yet but the wind sounds pretty crazy. Sounds like there is a ghost in my room, woooooo!

Really pleasant in Berskhire. Feels about 15 degrees, barely a cloud in the sky, nice and bright outside. Just a little breeze that occasionally shifts into what might be described as a light wind

At least you can talk. Who are you?
It's picked up again now, went quiet for 15 minutes. I'm Southampton, 10 minute drive and I could be on the beach facing the Isle of Wight.

I'm glad I dismantled the trampoline now - despite it being a pain in the arse to do. I'd really not like to have to apologise about it landing in someone's conservatory.

It's meant to hit London or Greater London, right? I'm in Surrey.
So far, overrated! Give it to me baby, long and hard. I can take it.

Sorry, that was just me. Do you know how much dust there is under your bed?
Pretty windy for me in East London. My blinds are slapping around because of the slight draft I've got coming in. My door's flying around, too, if I leave it open. Was tempted to go shopping before the football later but I don't know if I can be arsed hoofing around Oxford Street in gale force winds.

West/Central London (Kensington) area, strong winds are just coming and going.
Which part of EL are you in?

Has anyone broken review embargo for this storm, yet?
Doesn't matter, this storm will get 9s and 10s anyway because they spent so much money on the marketing and hype campaign. Bunch of moneyhats these meteorologists are. Always overrating the size of the storms.
until you lose to sunderland!!!!
OH DANG.
It'd be nice if these winds took down the tree out back for me, been meaning to cut that thing down for ages..!

I'm at home for the weekend and planning to go from Cambridge to Reading tonight on the train. Chances of shit being canceled? I have five lectures on Monday
that I wouldn't mind missing but yaknow, you got to make an effort at uni
Should be fine, its not far (Well 3hrs, but not out in countryside). Keep an eye on http://www.nationalrail.co.uk
Also the earlier the better.

North West England ere. Winds picking up a bit, but then again it's been like that most of this week.
Depends on if and when National Rail put in speed restrictions. They usually come with some cancellations. Heavy rain seems to be forecast around London for after 22:00 tonight, and I guess the wind will be picking up around then too. I take the train out of London home from work at 23:34 and will be cycling back from the station after midnight so I'll probably be killed.
Heh, I live in the North West tip of the Netherlands. Looking forward to the coming storm. I've got a week off from work and I love stormy weather on days off.As a Southampton resident, good luck fellow Southerners.

This reminds me: does anyone have a gif of the full clip? The best bit always is cut from the gifs I see. From memory the tip starts to 'spray' a white grid just after this.
Yes, have a look at the maps and weather warnings lol. Although looks like South Coast is going to get the worst.

Because it makes for too many frames for the gif but here you go
Perfect, thanks. Actually the gif you posted before is almost double the size of this one.
Stay safe y'all!
Where would people be evacuated to? The entire country is getting hit by this

We'll have to send them abroad. Cornwall, maybe.

The low pressure system bringing the stormy conditions isn't even here yet. The weather warning from the Met Office is from 00:05 to 12:00 on Monday.

So I can either stay at university and die in Oxford or go home and die in Wales. :/

I guess it isn't a good idea to go see Captain Phillips later today then...

No, you should use the time to brick up your windows, also gather wood and petrol to burn the dead.
