Yup.. looks like its our due storm,
I really dislike high winds as i have half a really big tree from the last one, And im sure the other half will now go,
Guess all we can do it get prepared,
Im going out to the garden to move things that can fly around, and secure anything that cant be put away..
Making sure i have candles and money on my mobile,
Well i guess we will see what happens!
Stay safe fellow uk'rs, and dont go out in it unless you have to,

I just thought I would give all my fellow UK ATSers a heads up as this sounds as though it could be pretty bad.
An extreme depression is coming in from the west bringing damaging gusts of up to 80mph and heavy rainfall across the UK. Flooding is likely along the west coast as it coincides with the spring high tide. The rest of the UK will also be affected.
Get the sandbags out and baton down the hatches... we all know what this kind of weather does to our homes

Also, check out the video of the scuppered landing on the Sky news page.. pretty hairy!

Thanks for the good wishes Antar 
. It is a good point to mention that water supplies for anyone likely to be affected by flooding are crucial,
look what happened in Tewkesbury and all around that area last June! You can never be too prepared.

Thanks for the early warning fiftyfifty, and also for the kind thoughts from antar. I have spent the whole weekend replacing steel sheeting on the back of my workshop, just finished and it's a little after four o clock Sunday. Thanks again, and good luck to all.

Also make sure you get any pets in early,

With my professional hat on, I imagine schools will be open. I've not heard anything from my boss so I'm still going in tomorrow. If it get's dangerous, the kids will get sent home - we had to do it last year when tiles started flying off the school. Kids were screaming that they were gonna die and it was really all quite funny.
I'm getting set up to watch it all roll in.
I live in a second floor apartment right on the River Mersey so it shoudl be fun to watch - apart from the fact that my window frames leak, but I've stuffed them with kitchen roll so it's all good...
The spring tide today on the Mersey was about a foot from the promenade at one point so this could really be a fun storm (I find them fascinating - look at my avatar). Glad I live on the second floor.
Let's keep watching for it and hope no-one gets hurt.
Remember - 'There will not be a hurricane tonight.'

I have beer, pies and cigarettes.
All good. Not quite prepared for SitX - but it'll do for a storm.
I'll try and get some pics if it goes proper wild.

Thanks Asala.
Well, i just got up, it's 5.13am and it sounds pretty bad out there, but apparently it's just starting, so i guess they will be staying at home. They walk home, i pick my daughter up (we walk) and my boys come by themselves. So yeah, walking is probably not the best idea
(I'm in west london by the way so it will probably hit us more in a couple of hours)
Hope everyone else is ok
