Severe storm on the way
An "exceptional" storm will hit Britain tonight - with people warned to stay in and avoid unnecessary journeys.
Forecasters say it will be the sort of weather only experienced once every seven years - prompting comparisons with the Great Storm of 1987.
Forecasters said the weather system currently forming out in the Atlantic is not an average winter storm and only 30 of a similar force have been recorded since 1821.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770
UK regions most at risk:
Greater London: 70%
South East England: 60%
East of England: 60%
South West England: 60%
Wales: 60%
West & East Midlands: 40%
North West England: 40%
Northern Ireland: 30%
Yorkshire & Humber: 20%

There is now general confidence of a severe depression affecting many parts of the United Kingdom throughout Sunday night and Monday.
Dangerous winds, high sea states and heavy rain will merge to produce treacherous driving conditions and structural damage and felled trees.
The worst of the wind is expected across Ireland and South-west England during Monday afternoon with severe gales, perhaps storm force or violent storm force for a time.
Gales are also likely across many Central and Eastern areas during peak travel times.There is now general confidence of a severe depression affecting many parts of the United Kingdom throughout Sunday night and Monday.

Re: Severe storm on the way
Nice and sunny here at the moment, but the forecast looks grim. High tide is around 8.00am and the forecast is clear but very windy so I'll be down the sea front with my camera's in the morning.
