Stormaggedon Mk4: The Oncoming Storm(s)
Discussion
Well there is nothing like being prepared and with articles like this one:
http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/heavy-storms-...
With its helpful information such as "The conditions could pose problems for commuters in affected areas in the morning rush hour"
It is clear that forewarned is for armed.
So as well as serving as a useful alert for other PH'ers to share travel tips and advise of areas to avoid ( as my well respected Stormaggedon Mk 3 thread did) this thread could serve as a useful tip sharing post to help other PH'ers prepare for the path of destruction.
Please use it don't abuse it with general posts such as avoid Blackpool as it's a dump " type posts. This is serious stuff.
Pictures of the destruction caused are also invited.

I remember 2nd October last year was atrocious as we went out for my dad's birthday. Nothing like that so far this October.
Sorry to hear that.Family get togethers can be fraught with tension and simmering rivalries.
Buit we are here to discuss the atrocious weather we will be getting and what steps to take to avoid having to swim for it.

As there is not enough doom and gloom in this thread I feel justified in bringing you news of this:
70mph winds cut power to 2,000 Cumbrian homes

It's the start of the wrath of nature.

"A fresh wave of storms are set to drench the south of the country throughout the day as commuters are warned of potential disruption.
Up to 40mm of rain could fall in large swathes of the country stretching from Cornwall to East Anglia as a weather front sweeps across from the continent, bringing gusts of up to 45 miles per hour to batter parts of the coast.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for the South West, South East and east of England and warned drivers of pools of water forming on the roads as a result of the downpours."
Look after yourselves and your loved ones and lets remember to be........."careful out there "

UK weather: Spectacular storm system set to bring wet, windy and warm weather across Britain
"A spectacular storm system that has developed across the Atlantic and is heading towards the UK and Europe is likely to bring with it high winds and heavy rain continuing Britain's topsy-turvy spell of Autumn weather.
While some areas in the UK are expecting so-called 'Indian Summer' conditions, with temperatures on Friday expected to peak at around 21C, other areas look likely to experience a washout with between fifteen to 25mm of rain falling.
A few places could even see in excess of 40mm of rain at times over the next few days, forecasters said."

I tried to warn you some of you laughed at me
You wont be laughing when your swimming round in your kids bedrooms trying desperately to cling to the upper post of juniors bunk beds to avoid succumbing to the torrent of water raging through your home.
I am just off to put the 2 whoosh parrots in along with the lamas and livestock in my arc.
I don't have any spare room sorry

Flood warnings out for high tide I hear
Pic from a couple of hours ago - rain & hail & sleet
My brother tells me when it gets bad they close the promenade at Blackpool to prevent people wading through a river of filth and unpleasantness. Personally I didn't find the arcades there that bad but I suppose they can lead to a lifetime of sinful gambling.
