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.

Horsegiver.

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
