is anyone worried about it, I know its not exactly a hurricane now as it has to be 90mph to be classified so its more of a tropical storm. I know that at the moment I am safe as it is supposed to miss us but cant help thinking all its going to take is a wind direction x

yes i heard about it too. tomorrow its coming to us! x

I'm crapping my self ians at work tomoZ so will be on my own o am scared of storms as it is

i just said in another post i really need to get all her toys safely in , playhouse ,slide oh and my parasol !
my oldest has been asking if the wind is strong enough to lift him and my youngest walks to school which is at the highest point in the town , will be mega windy up there
i dont mind the whole storm thing however i am worried about electricity going down, should maybe invest in some candles today just in case

Char it isn't forecast to hit in the south, so you should be fine. Keep safe everyone x

im scared

Hope everyone will be ok. I think we're one of the few parts of the country it isn't supposed to hit

char I have sourced this.

The remains of ex-hurricane Katia are now racing across the Atlantic and will arrive across Britain and Ireland during tonight and tomorrow, bringing with them some heavy rain and very strong winds. Even at this short range there are still some question marks over the exact track that this storm system will take, but north-western areas of the country remain at highest risk of seeing damaging gusts of wind during Monday and into Tuesday.

Yeah i'm scared, especially cos i'll be out driving in it cos i'm working

Hurricaines scare the crap out of me!

Omg, i must be living in a bubble cos I had no idea

Ohh am crapping it now!!

Arh, just checked Metcheck and we're just moderate risk, in my area the winds are set to reach about 20mph...i'm sure it was windier last week!!

Red - High risk
Yellow - Mod risk
Grey - no risk

Were in the yellow and with 5 huge fir trees in garden, whose branches don't start till past our house and that we've had a few branches fall down over past few weeks we worried.

As for the branches I'm not feeding the squirrels any more nuts, they obviously too fat lol

Lol we have 2 massive trees in our garden too (the huge Xmas type trees) they are taller than our house which is a 3 story terraced lol.
Thankfully no loss of branches yet.
They do make a right racket though when it's windy!

I hope all thoses in the red areas stay safe and it passes quick

I didn't know anything about it! Looks like we're right on the red/yellow boarder so may be at risk.

ohhhh I am just on the yellow bit, maybe even they grey, I hope I miss it!

That map could easily not be the case though, Ive just looked again and Southprt is in the red zone...well thats only 80 miles road (50 as the bird flies?) so thats not a very big gap between safe and high risk?!!!

Nooo I'm in the red bit! And we live near the Mersey so it's always ridiculously windy here at the best of times plus we've got loads of massive old trees round us eeeek!

Nope, it's not coming here anyway atm but even if it did i wouldnt mind seeing one

im in the grey. i remembee the last one we had, i got stranded in the tow mean hugen center cos all public transpmrt stopped, the bank roof blew off 10 mins after me and leo had been there, and a huge and i mean huge tree fell across my mums street knocking down the central reservation...so yeah am worried lol

Great

Are you nuts?! Why on earth wouldn't you mind?? It can be really dangerous and cost ££££ of damage to peoples houses and property!

I remember the big one in the late 80's. We got kept off school and one of our trees came over in the front garden and landed on the fence, which landed on next doors car! The damage was unbelievable. I certainly wouldn't want to see another one, they are very scary things to experience

oh god lisa no god i wouldnt want that. thats not what i meant.

i've no idea what i meant just was not thinking sorry

sorry i'm very tired, i meant the rain i know here it wont be like over the us. but we experienced one on holiday in 2005 (hurricane Rita) and i'd never seen anything like it.

i'm meant nothing by saying i'd like to see one i'm sorry if this offended anyone

Not all all Kell...just thought you'd lost your bananas temporarily
