It's too windy, I keep hearing creepy whistling coming from the fireplace
In lancashire it's windy as all fuck! (bear in mind I work on an airfield so it's just a massive open flat area prone to high wind)
But damn it's windy! Walked to a cashpoint and had my tie slapping me all up in my face like an abusive husband!
Also, this is coming through scandinavia and slightly hitting Estonia too, yay.

Yeah, all the rain and serious wind buggered off after a couple hours. Now I've just got sun and wind.
We got a nice tornado in Germany last night.
I was waiting on my bus whilst it was parked in the bus station waiting for people to get on, and the wind was blasting the bus causing it to rock side to side.
It sure is windy out there
Not "you will fucking die" windy but "my fucking hair!" windy
Hell windy outside - couple of branches from trees fell off down the road.
Tracks are definately south of what was listed as yellow and amber as I'm in mid Wales
It was windy near where I was, just on the edge of the big yellow thing.
Bloody windy as hell up here in the tees.
I can hear the wind blowing through the pylons and it's proper spooky.
Somebodies lawn chair was picked up by the wind and flew into the side of the house.
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;32235562]I remember the last time we got hit by the "aftermath of a hurricane". It was horrible, this is what happened:

[QUOTE=Deiru;32236734]
and as for the person who asked about us getting hurricanes. Yes, we do get them, but only when a weather reporter assures us that we're not getting one.[/QUOTE]
If nobody gets the reference, it is to the Great Storm of 1987.
Basically people were saying a huge storm is on the way to the UK and a weather reporter said "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way... well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!"
That night the worst storm to hit the UK in nearly 200 years came and a bunch of people died. Needless to say, he became quite infamous.
Anyway I'm right in that orange zone and its basically a little windier than normal...Nothing to cause any kind of problems though (We had worse winds last week)
Someone should start a fundraiser, this is worse than the Japanese tsunami
Windy as fuck in South Yorkshire today.
