Wild weather - who's in it??

[Rum]

Nasty storms here the last 24 hours, now subsiding. Here's a stream in the Lake District not far from here that flowed up hill because of the wind!! (from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... power.html)

We have a 'yellow, amber, red' weather warning system in place these days in the UK. Of course nobody actually knows what these mean except the weather people themselves so every time one of these pops up they have to explain the whole system over again which kind of defeats the objective I would have thought.

Anyway overnight we have an 'amber alert' in place. More heavy rain and storm force winds on top of recently flooded land and disruption.

Looks like a breezy wet couple of days!

We seem to have adopted the same system in Ireland. The southern and western coastal areas were bright red last night, and the rest of the country was orange.

I think red means "hide under the bed", and orange means "keep a torch handy, and don't drive".

The "orange" warning would piss a lot of people off, one would think...

A lot of rain came down here last night. Heading up to the rest of the country today I believe. Get your flood hats on!

It was a bit wild on the local promenade yesterday afternoon.

There's an upside to staying indoors where it's warm and dry.

Millions of idiots went around driving cars in Georgia today, instead of calling in sick. Are they dumb or what? They are not going tolose the jobs as there is nobody else to do them. They deported all the illegals.

Windy here today. Tried to hang some laundry out, but even with the mainsheet slack and the sail reefed I was worried the mast might rip right off the deck.

Keeps getting the letterbox - creepy wind today. Could be the Mormons though, wife is going to check as I type.

We've got wind. Been howling a gale all night. With occasional horizontal showers. Nice day to be indoors.

Have you tried wanking?

Have you tried wanking?

The effects of wanking on reducing wind velocity are unknown. I think an experiment may be in order...

Bloody horizontal snow here today. It isn't settling but it is damned fucking cold and blowing a gale and I have had enough of it!

I wish we had some dramatic weather here today. Instead, it's clear and mild
