Possible severe storm Monday 28th October 2013 Part 2

[Mapantz]

There's still an open invitation to anyone who is intercepting some of the strongest winds, i'll be heading to Worth Matravers.

Very big seas from the storm across the South, wave heights of 30-40ft in places. Possible storm surge too? Could be some coastal flooding. From HIRLAM. Darkest purple is 9-10m wave height, 2nd darkest 8-9m wave height.

The guy appears to be a troll. Not everyone has a say on what street furniture exists next to their homes or what their neighbours put on their land.

 

Lesson with trolls - don't feed them.

 

I think its time the mods stepped in and got this thread back on track.

Might want to have a look at my post a few mins ago....

 

 

So, once again for the few members that either dont or dont want to understand simple English, ....p-l-e-a-s-e k-e-e-p  i-t  o-n  t-o-p-i-c  a-n-d  f-r-i-e-n-d-l-y......

 

(I even spelt it out for you )

 

 

cheers!

I know it's really difficult to predict but can somebody say if Shrewsbury is going to be in the calm of the storm, or could we see,some high winds and strong gusts...I'm off work on Monday and toyed with the idea of going by train to Cardiff bay and stop in st David's hotel to watch the storm, but I'm worried about not being able to get home Monday afternoon..we're all watching excitedly but please people be sensible and stay safe..

 

I'm wondering the same thing as I've some travelling to do Monday morning , more likely to have a wet one but avoid the full the force .

Ian Fergusson mentioned a tightening of the isobars in the western flank of the low as it moves through, and talk of it being an issue across Somerset/Dorset (and a few others i've forgotten .. Is this what they are concerned with?NMM 6KM win gusts, note the lighter patches in the red? I'm wondering if their hi-res models are showing the same thing? Maybe slightly further North by a few miles?

By the looks of things the strongest winds do seem to curve round the low.

Really hoping for the whole thing to take a drastic shift North! Not had a good day of gales around here for a long while and seems as my neighbour is reluctant to chop down his 40ft Conifer trees, This storm could be a blessing! 

 

However by the looks of its current predicted track, Monday will most likely be a rainy affair for us Derbyshire folk.

Yep, last night it looked like further N and W could be affected by a secondary batch of severe gales. Doesn't look as likely this evening! Damn. Not had a decent storm here in what seems like an eternity.

ok peeps....several reminders now to keep things on topic and friendly.....some of you are taking the proverbial......off-topic disagreements and squabble can be sorted out by using the private message facility, or there's the option to report posts that contains info against forum guidelines, and lastly there is an 'ignore' facility that makes the ignored user's posts invisible, so please, in the interest of the forums sanity, think before posting  .....thanks everso.....

This storm is looking nasty, I am hoping it will bugger off south into France but I fear the south are gonna get hammered. 

 

Take care everyone Sun/Mon, high winds are VERY dangerous to be out in.

Just deleted a bunch of posts - most of which replying to people who appear to be posting purely to get a reaction. Please hit the report button if someone is appearing to troll, it's much easier to deal with one problem post than it is to deal with that original post + 30 replies.

 

Please remember this thread is to discuss the upcoming storm - a bit of banter is ok, but taking it off on tangents with petty arguments is not..

 

Thanks.

I think where I am is one of the areas that could get the strongest winds,

[Snowman.]

Would we be expecting lighting?

[Infil50]

Sorry I'm currently Hayling Island ( in Caravan) and going back home next week to Manchester.

[Bobd29]

This is likely to be quite severe, best not to underestimate so use tomorrow to prepare and in the event of power loss (quite likely) be sure you have torches etc  don't use candles; please everyone stay safe...

[Cyclonic]

Getting a Tad worried here now on the Isle of Wight..Could i say i need to batten down my hatches or is it still to early and could it track furher south like some have been saying..Some updates and information on this Low would be very very much appreciated guys.

[bobbydog]

Hello Tom!

Too far north here for gales but rain will probably be the issue come Monday.
