It's set to hit us tomorrow, apparently.

I wouldn't worry too much Tyler. It isn't a real hurricane.
It's just meant to be really strong, 80mph, winds.
We've already been hit with torrential rain which has cut the sky off.
Think thats as bad as it will get.

 

[tyler0912]

it says we may get flooding thats the bit im worried about ...still....maybe a day of school?

A day off work would be nice. I think we've already had quite a bit of the rain, but there might be some flooding, yes. One day of heavy rain causes floods in our normal weather!
They won't be big ones.

Cross your fingers for a day out of the classroom, Tyler! My fiance's out watching the football tomorrow - he'll come home looking a bit soaked, I imagine.

That would be nice. All other days are very busy, so I'd like a quiet Monday! Well, quiet aside from falling trees.

Yea. My dad said there might be some flash floods.

I'm going for a meal tomorrow night. Think i'll need a snorkel and flippers?
Hopefully my dr martins will act as wellies

go waterproof?

go waterproof?

I figure i was going to "mess" (backcomb) my hair up anyway so i might aswell just not bother and let it do it itself by standing outside for 10 minutes before i go!

 

[cherylim]

go waterproof?

My test is whether or not my car is still outside my house by Tuesday - it's a light little thing!

 

[tyler0912]

haha i can just imagine it flying away like its full of helium!

Maybe not that light!

would be fun to watch!

In that case, look out for a blue Vauxhall Corsa in the sky. It could be flying over Blackburn this weekend! Who needs Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

 

[tyler0912]

When was the last hurrican that you had?

 

[hali]

by the time it gets to us it will be a puff of wind - what i want to know is why to we alwys get the tail end of bad weather from America - but never the good!!!!!!!!!

 

[cherylim]

When was the last hurrican that you had?

1987, I believe - the year I was born.

Though I could be wrong, and there may have been one since, but not as major.

 

[hali]

think it was 86 - very high winds and trees down in berkshire
