Dudley's coming........

[slim_boy_fat]

Just had a text alert from SSEN warning of "incoming gale force winds forecast to impact the West of Scotland and moving across their Scottish operating region from Wednesday evening into Thursday. This weather front has been named Storm Dudley by the Met office."

Batten the hatches, you have been warned....

 

[colnerov]

Swiftly followed by Storm Eunice on Friday.

Who picks these names ? Don't give storms names like cuddly Dudley for crying out loud

As long as he does not bring Pete.

We're a couple of ****s

I am in Dudley and I can tell you its not that bad here.

I am in a heated side ward wide so probably a false sense of security.

Sitting with Mom... At 63 I have learnt a lot since a week yesterday. And it's not good...my sister and her daughter have been here all week. My son managed to give them a break one night but due to my wife's care needs I can't stay over.

After seeing what they have for a week they decided to fast track mom home. So have gone to Dad's to ready the bedroom for mom. Maybe hours maybe days but my Dad is too ill to get here and he feels helpless.

Let's put it like this if those" enranged" at seeing a footballer kick and slap a cat could see what they do when your dying they would be....@#$%^$#&%$#% .
Well they probably wouldn't......but they should be..

Think if the wind is over 30mph the windmills get shut down

Think if the wind is over 30mph the windmills get shut down

Aye, wrong kind of wind A good blow and they're all as still as Palace guardsmen.

They all have silly names, until it is your name... then it's rather fun

I never knew it could happen. Despite my wife spending 6 months in a stroke unit when she was 38. I think everyone needs to be told in advance what they do.........

It is a bit blowy, does it really need a name? Oooh, amber alert! What does that mean?

It means the Met Office thinks it needs more clicks and has to behave like a sensational tabloid newspaper, instead of a serious organisation.
