Hurricane Florence
- Thread starter Azza
- Start date
I find it nuts watching some of the interviews they did with residents, and they're of the mindset that it'll either change course, or break up. With the amount of hurricanes the US has observed, they're modelling is pretty accurate now. So if they say it's not going to change course, and will not break up, then follow that advice and move somewhere safe.
The UK should withstand much better than the US because housing/businesses etc are made of bricks/stone/concrete. The US love to build out of wood because it's cheaper and much quicker to erect.
The problem with a big hurricane like this in the UK would be sweeping up about a million wheelie bins
.
If this was in the uk, it would be the start of the apocalypse

Wonder if this means I should hang on to the City guide I picked up not too long back. Might be worth something in a few months.

So for many it will be Florence Night in gale
Saw that on Have I got News For You's twitter feed
Daily Mail headline: Caribbean Immigrant Florence to cause devastation. House Prices fall by 1,000,000%
Unless there's a critical desalination event.
Handy site!
Looks like Manila is in for a rough ride, makes Florence appear like a storm in a tea cup.

I understand that it would be a huge logistical challenge to move 650 prisoners, but to just leave them there sounds mental!

Difficult one. Risky trying to move them, but at the same time, prisons are super duper strong, so it's probably the safest option.

Thank you for tuning in to BBC news, our top story today, rail services are set to resume in central and southern England today just 25 years after Storm Boris tore through the Country sporting gusts of up to 7 mph. A spokesperson for network rail has said they've finally cleared the last of the leaves from the effected lines. Unfortunately rail service to the north of the Country are still disrupted as nobody gives a ****.

If they do a thorough investigation they will probably be able to identify, with some outside consultancy, that the object on the line, was in fact, a train.

If you’re talking about the editor, then you probably mean an orgasm. Imagine if only they could factor in Princess Diana somehow!
well he's right, what's so funny?
