NeoGAF

Tomorrow evening throughout Monday night will see landfall of what they're saying will be the largest storm since 1987.

We're expected strong 80-90mph winds and torrential rain of 30mm and possible flood warnings.

Country has been placed on the red alert with the South to take most of the damage.

Prepare guys, and keep safe! This'll be my first time in the eye of a storm.

I'll start worrying once Michael Fish has told me not to.

Don't die or anything bad

Hopefully bieber and Kim k are washed away to Neptune deep space event horizon style.

Yikes. It's the potential for flooding that worries me most.

I read that as BETTER Britain and didn't question it.

Can't wait for everyone I speak to this week talking about the weather.

Good luck guys. Hopefully it doesn't cause too much damage.

So, just like every other day of the year then? Exciting!

England isn't remotely weather-proofed, a small child's fart could bring the country to its knees.

Godfuckingdamnit we get enough posts like this when it's too hot, leave us alone. We're only prepared for boring miserable weather, we don't handle extremes well.

Pretty much.

I reckon Britain isn't used to crazy weather. I seem to recall last summer people dropped like flies in 90-degree heat over there. Stay safe British-GAF.

It's unusual for a storm to hit.

Also, Britain cannot handle shit, so what's the harm in warning people?

We cannot cope when Summer hits 25* where you guys can.

We're not used to it, sheesh.

Halloween Poogie Billy!

Kent? High-five!

30mm doesnt seem too bad though

Can't wait for delays on the DLR.

I expect at least half a dozen casualties - from elderly folk and infants getting a cold.

Can't wait.

Fuck you michael fish!

hoping for a day off on monday

30mm in a short period can lead to some flash flooding. Those winds are fairly strong too - expect to lose some roofs and fallen trees.

Saying that, a lot of these warnings are worst case and it probably won't be that bad.

A gram of snow could fall on those toffs in the south east and it would be the most apocalyptic shit in the world to them. Biggest storm since 1987? The media's reaction will probably be the equivalent of Operation Square Leg being carried out.

Hey, i'm just the messenger out to warn people.

I doubt it'll be that bad, but if you look at the weather map, the thing is pretttyyyy huge for what we usually see here.

I'm just winding you guys up. ;)

I survived Typhoon Soulik this year, you guys can survive this. It's just a wee bit of rain and wind.

Yeah, we'll be fine. Just expect damage, fallen trees etc.

It's gonna be terrible since I have empty loft space above my room, so any sound of wins already sounds like a tornado, so I bet I won't get any sleep tomorrow.

I don't understand why some people seem to get all 'pfft, so what' over warnings like this (not referring to this forum, just in general :P). People almost always die in these things, so it makes sense to issue warnings, right? The storm in 2007 killed like 11 people, and Europe wide there were over 40 deaths. It's not everyday, or even yearly weather here.

That said I don't see anything to suggest this will be worse than the 1987 storm. Currently there are only 'amber' weather alerts and no red ones for example, and the predicted wind speeds are barely 90mph.

I will be on my 6th floor Balcony like this:



I love storms.

Inb4 'lol in my country we get these all the time'

Whelp I believe it's starting early where I am.... >_<

They're moving a giant crane very near to my place tonight, lets hope that doesn't topple or anything...

BRING IT.

Yep. A lot of trees aren't often tested by high winds and they come down. Also roof tiles everywhere.

Southern England gets hit by a decent windstorm and it's the end of the fucking world. The northern half of the UK gets clobbered several times each winter and we just dealwithit.gif.

^ Anything but mild destroys us.

30mm or 30cm?

Isn't 30mm like.. 1.5 inches? lol

Stay safe, Brit-GAF!

Love them too. We got some storm a few years back who was like 70 - 100 km/h. Was standing on a hill like Downey. :D

I lived in Manchester for four years. The weather was never as bad as Brighton. So suck it.

So this is affecting London? I kinda want it to affect London.

I'll be under my bed covers with my Vita

For some reason I read the title as "largest mom"..... Not sure where my heads at today.

It sure is.

I'll be in my bed trying to play Pokemon whilst my roof tears down.

Outside, there's flags tied to a lamppost which seems to be blowing pretty hard right now. Can only imagine it tomorrow night.
