Ever since Michael Fish (the TV metman) made a fool of himself by saying "what gale?" just before the hurricane of '87, the Met Office have been desperate not to get it wrong again. Hence any sniff of a gale or heavy rain or whatever now produces a severe weather warning so that those responsible can't be blamed for not having let us all know.
The reality is usually less dire than the warning - but don't always bank on it! The huge storm that hit the Western Isles four Januaries ago had not been forecast as being nearly as bad as it actually was - winds of 144mph behind a spring tide, widespread damage and a whole family drowned.
it sucks, its election week at uni and i have to march round in a flourescent sandwich board come rain or shine. Plus my uni is on top of a hill, its has claimed 3 umbrellas this year alone its ridiculous. So any wind seems to be much worse than it is on top of a hill.
According to the weatherman Scotland will be pretty unaffected.
But it's been daaaamn windy for the past week or so, it even snowed quite heavily where I am. The weather's just gone a bit mental, probably having a bit of a breakdown, I'm sure it'll be ok soon.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB

It's so windy my house is shaking.
And the rain is well heavy.
But I have to go to school because of science exams.
Somehow I thin I'll be begging for a lift, there's no way in hell I'm walking in this.
Hand it over. Nothing happens in the Midlands till June.

He actually said: "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rung the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!"
I'm never gonna look at the weather in the same way again after it's had a breakdown. I wonder if that gets sent IP when it gets really bad?
hahaha!
“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
haha im not in the uk
BUT my umbrella blew inside out last night... i was NOT impressed!
(in the pouring rain mind)

Well i imagine it was abit heavy last night because it woke me up and I don't do waking up in the middle of the night.
It's blowy out still but not 'storm blowy' whatever 'storm blowy' might be. Just seems like normal wind to me.
Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in
we got nowt here.
no wind and its not even raining
Let me be the one you call
If you jump i'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn YOU'RE NOT ALONE
