UK set to get battered by severe weather

[Rob]

Northern and Central areas of the country are set to battered tonight by Strong Winds and Heavy Rain as a strong depression is set to move into the country, wind speeds of up 70mph are expected along coastal areas accompanied by around 50mm of rain to some areas creating some problems with localised flooding, a combination of falling trees is expected to create hazardous driving conditions and power outages are possible as winds could be strong enough to topple plyons. A KWFS forecaster added "this is a very unusual weather event for this time of the year, some extremely heavy rainfall and strong winds looks to affect almost anywhere in the country causing damage to some structural buildings, please follow all local authorities advice and keep an eye on TV broadcasts for the latest weather warnings"

Although we're getting this bad weather today, it's suppost to be a nice day tomorrow. :tongue:

[Lauren]

Oh cack.

It's my chore day tomorrow too... laundry (which means walking to, back, to, back to the laundrette throughout the day) and shopping which means walking around town all day with heavy bags of food.

Hope I don't blow away.
