Its all still calm here but the cloud has started to built, this will be the first real storm we will have had in a while.

The synoptic plot looks like a dartboard!

Looks like I better leave uni early to get the buckets set up under my leaky ceiling

Damn, wish I was back in Plymouth (although it never got the worst of the storms due to being on the south coast).

It's rotten here right now and looks like it's going to get a lot worse

I'll try and get some of the sea but it's very dark now at this stage.

I do also, I wanted to be a storm chaser when I was little...

Midwest in the US is good for some big storms. This is a normal thing for fall & spring in the midwest. Here is a storm from a year ago, that storm was unusual, the vid kind of sucks, but it shows how fast the storm comes in.

It's really calm here at the moment too.

/gets rubber dinghy out and runs to the seafront in the nip!!

Fenris · 7 Nov 2010 at 18:04

Any chance this will hit Brisol? could do with some exciting weather

That and something to drown out THE BLOODY FIREWORKS.

Fireworks? :confused:

Thought they'd all be used by now.
