Our bin collection is off tomorrow and the Tesco stores here will not be opened for staff safety. Step-daughter still has to get in to work though as work(sdue to public transport being stop from 8am) in a Doctor Surgery in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
Youngest was having an after-school teenage nap and woke up thinking someone had announced The Purge

To me the overall effect, if not the actual sound, is a bit too reminiscent of Attack Warning Red in Threads ….

The eye is forecast to drop to around 935mB before it starts to fill again, which is as deep as a cat 4 hurricane. So yes, it’s going to be very bad. Thankfully it isn’t a hurricane, the physics are different thanks to our latitude, and the winds won’t reach persistently hurricane force speeds, and the storm will weaken as soon as it gets close to land. But as we don’t have a hurricane season here, we don’t have the infrastructure to cope with hurricane force storms. So things are going to get a bit hairy over the next 18 hours.
