Storm Jorge To Hit This Weekend

[ChillDoubt]

In line with recent storm names, I wondered what had happened to FGH and I?
Apparently it’s because this one has been named by the Spanish Met Office:

Batten down the hatches again folks.....

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe it's an error and was verbally decided to be George.

[bookbinder]

Too much sangria, perhaps?

[fiction-factory]

Has I missed Storm Ellen then?

[jno]

first country to spot it gets to name it.

[fiction-factory]

No mention of Jorge here

[fiction-factory]

Well you live and learn. I didn't realise that other countries could get in first

[david small]

My hatches have given up the battening.

[jno]

that's because they didn't see it coming, ff.

I assume the next one will be Ellen.

[gingejbee]

It'll be interesting to see if UK news/weather programmes give it the full Spanish treatment....or wimp out and stick to the English version.

[Old_Geezer]

What's the "Spanish Treatment" and how much does it cost ?

[youngmafbog]

If its from something picked up in Magaluf OG it could be quite expensive one way or another!

[gulliver1]

How about naming the next one "Drip Boris".

[nailit]

Why cant we have storms with good old fashioned English names, like Kyle or Jason?

[Bobbisox1]

Hey, gracias Chill por la advertencia
Bájate esas escotillas :0)

[Theland]

Storm Answerbank - It's often stormy on here :-)

[Togo]

Not another.....I saw a report that it was estimated that storm Dennis cost Britain nigh on a billion quid. What a waste of money. As far as I can tell it did more harm than good. I blame the Government .......ohh and Boris..........and Trump........and Brexit.

[emmie]

it snowed here in the capital today, crikey more wet weather on the way, not good is it..

[237SJ]

It was only sleeting though. (I fancied a bit of snow but it didn't happen)

[ToraToraTora]

the last one was dennis therefore it must be a girls name starting with E.

[THECORBYLOON]

I'm not being "contrarian" but the next storm after Dennis need not be Ellen and this explains why.
