Hurricane watch...

[Aperitif]

No, not the time for 'Windy Boat Comes In' or A 'Higgins Bosun' thread:
This is where YOU log YOUR storm experience which is wot is coming nearly soon - to a garden / roof / fence / shopping centre / park near you.

Also, remember to put your clocks back later. (Why on earth you would want to remove them I don't know but...)

I'm going to put ours back now... otherwise we've missed Pointless.

It was too tall for the shelf.

A classic 'clock up' then. Shelf heights for clocks are critical; minute differences can throw everything out of kilter.

Its getting windy here already. Hmm excuse me. Lots of rain as well. The trees still have a lot of leaves on them so are very heavy. Bits of branches dropping onto my roof. Scary. Ooooooh

You're doomed to stay in this loop for ever more with the wind howling like a Banshee!!

Classic33 is designated Nightwatchman by default. De fault being he doesn't find sleep a friend at times...this is all good for 'Hurricane Watch thread' afficionados.

Light rain here at present, a bit of wind. But nothing worth shouting about.

Oi I'm not back yet I need a calm flight tomorrow lunchtime back from North Africa. It can do what it wants from 4pm onwards.
I don't do bad turbulence

Here's a learned article on the 1987 storm. Has anybody got a barograph? The traces from 1987 where impressive.

@Hill Wimp everything will be wonderful for your return flight. Honest.
