Winds up to 85mph and a lot of rain from Monday with a risk of disruption. So, if it goes quiet from your Brit buddies, there may be a power cable or two down... I have to drive through this cr*p on Monday morning to a hospital appointment... Awards

The current forecast down here has the wind speed around 60mph but, if it gets too hairy, I am not driving anywhere in it! FML! I go to the hospital two to three times per year to see the specialist and this weather comes along... The wife has to get to/from work on a bus through the country roads so that, I fear, may be interesting! The worst storm for five years but not quite up to "Great Storm 1987" strength hopefully. baldie, Fire and coolmd 3 Awards
