Ian, did you get the emergency broadcast on your phone? Gave me a fright when cooking! It's like something out of a post apocalyptic sci-fi movie!

Edit: upgraded I see now to Yellow Warning. It was Amber last I checked before heading out this morning.
Taking notice of that, pretty rare here for that, and keeping an eye on it.
I am sufficiently stocked up on food albeit frozen/chilled so hoping for no major disruption to electricity supply, as that would be costly.

I don't seem to have, maybe being an Amber warning here isn't sufficient for that.
I seem to be fortunately far enough down south, as much as Nottinghamshire is.
We aren't typically… See More
that in UK terms, but this time seem to be enough.
Seem to be in somewhat of a "sweet spot", where we don't get the worst from the north or south.
Also nowhere near the best, but I can be grateful for what it means we also miss out on.
Earlier today for hours, that meant lots of rain and persistent and driven by the wind.
But I was able to be indoors for most of that, inside a shed at the allotment where we basically achieved nothing today, and just talked.
When I got into town in the afternoon, I was again indoors for a while and seemed to have avoided much of it today.
I shall see how that develops over tonight and tomorrow.
Expecting it could get unpleasant here, but there is a difference between that and what you and others in the north are experiencing already, let alone will do.
Amber warning is still sufficient for perhaps some damage, and some less mobile people being affected.
Keep safe as best you can.

I got a call from my boss about an hour ago. He told me to check the Met Office weather warnings tomorrow morning. They are currently at red for our area for tomorrow, and if it stays that way, I was told not to come in to work.
We don't get many red warnings. The most is usually amber and they are bad enough.
I'm very worried (an understatement for sure) about the potential wind damage tomorrow. I added at least thirty screws to my car-port after the last storm, but some of the gusts tomorrow could… See More
be twice the speed we had the last time, and this is to last two days.
EDIT: To put the picture into perspective, the black line and arrow is the direction the storm will travel, but the yellow line and arrow are where the strongest winds will travel. This is because the strongest part of this storm, due to the direction of the spin, is below it and spinning in an anti-clockwise direction.
If this stays true, the winds will come from a direction that will hit the back of the house, where the potential for damage is far worse for us.
The reason for this storm is actually because of the extreme (and bizarre) cold weather that the US is getting in Florida, Texas and other areas not used to that level of cold. The cold front pushes right across the ocean and upsets other weather patterns.

I hope you and others are able to keep safe.
Good to see your boss taking this seriously.
We don't want to see you flying across the sky, Mary Poppins style.

Tomorrow is my day off, so I want to chill and get some rest. I'll get so e gaming in too of course.
Then I'll make Cullen skink for dinner. It's a beautiful Scottish smoked fish soup with potatoes and double cream. The name always put me off, but I tried it a few years ago and fell in love.

Maybe you should watch a movie, with this.
Not tried it myself, not a fan of strong Chilli or Popcorn for that matter.
I just liked the play on words with the name.
