Not heard the expression or terminology before

Hope everyone is safe after Storm Dudley and remains so during Storm Eunice
Will be quite a buffeting

[royfromaus]

Gives you something else to overly panic about I suppose.

[Lie-in King]

Ta Sticky, new to me also, always good to learn something :-)

I echo your hope for everyone's' safety.

I didn't know we'd had a storm. When was that?

[237SJ]

It's a red warning for N Devon and N cornwall now. I wonder how many idiots will go down to the sea to see it.

Cue the influx of videos of flying trampolines and wandering wheelie bins on Youtube.

Aw bless you ! Lol
No need to panic as it is nowhere near me sport but I just thought I might enlighten the fellow ABers

But thanks for your usual invaluable contribution cobber

The Sting Jet is a demonstration of how unequally the income of The Police was divided up.

// Sting Jet //

a private aircraft flown by Gordon Sumner?

A sting jet is a small area of very intense winds (often 100mph or more) that can sometimes form in powerful weather systems crossing the UK. Relative to the size of the storm, the sting jet is narrow, often 30 miles across, and only lasts 3 to 4 hours.

Sky news use the word 'could' four times...yet you tell us ''Will be quite a buffeting''

What's your job again?

[Stickybottle]

Ok sport
Have it another way

Got nothing better to do today ?

How sad

Now I've read the link I am worried. My roof came off my Dales cottage with just one 100mph gust. It made a very loud cracking noise and destroyed mine and next door's roof. Where I live now we have 3 protected trees all about 30m tall overlooking our gardens. They are quite frightening in high winds. Eeek!

Amateur weather forecasting and baiting antipodeans

Not sure yet which I am best at ? Lol

[Stickybottle]

LB
Look at the Sky News link

There is a picture that predicts which area will receive the worst of the predicted weather

Hope it misses you

[Stickybottle]

Wow !
Even the government are prepared to ‘overly panic’ too !

Does that mean I can add ‘influencer’ to my list of employment profile ?

Indeed
Bound to be a few fools
Frightening video of a storm surge on a beach on this updated link

Had no idea the sea could come in so quickly during such a weather event

Better to be prepared for something that doesn't happen than to be unprepared for something that does.

PP-Lickybottle ? LB - for it is he - yes
PP I have composed a poem LB - let's hear it.

There is a terrible storm called Eunice
Unlikely I admit to affect the Zunis (*)
There's a danger to life
so put out your wife
and The Death benefit could be a bonus....

Zunis are a desert tribe in America I think

[dave50]

Just waiting for the bbc to announce that it's all due to climate change.

[Stickybottle]

Definitely getting rough !
