I was in Florida in 1996 when they had hurricane Opal and it was only September, that was a particularly bad year for them.

Hopefully everyone stays safe and AG swerves damage. My mates lad is flying down from Newcastle tomorrow in readiness to meet his old man and join the northerners in the Wedlock on Saturday. Brown paper bag at the ready! What time tomorrow? I can’t see him flying with a red zone alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 And now there’s an amber warning for Saturday afternoon, winds almost as strong and more chance of rain. Going to be fun at Ashton Gate - if the game actually goes ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because we only really get storms and not hurricanes and tornados, we don't really get enough to trouble the end of the alphabet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each year is a new set of names, same with Hurricanes etc, the male and female names alternate each year. i.e. Hurricane Andrew one year Hurricane Agnes the following year.

All trains over here in Wales cancelled, all schools shut the courts have now shut only those arrested tonight going in like during lockdown with very few in them. I’m going to stand in my street at 7am to face it and pop off to see the wizard or Oz. But more than likely end up some cows arse in the next field.
