Brace yourselves for Gonzalo:
|
Hurricane Gonzalo which is tearing through the Atlantic will batter Britain this week bringing with it Gale Force 10 winds and heavy rain.
The Met Office has issued a ‘yellow’ weather warning for most of the country for Tuesday as gale force winds of 55mph are expected to make driving conditions difficult and cause chaos for rush hour commuters.
Experts are warning the worst of the hurricane will hit on Monday night with severe gales worst affecting northern parts of Ireland, Wales and England as well as Southern and Eastern Scotland.
Forecasters say Gale Force 10 winds can range between 55 and 63mph and typically damage buildings, trees and cause high churning white seas.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !

A large wet leaf THWACKED against my window earlier and gave me a mild startle.
Madness, it is. Never underestimate the terrifying power of mother nature.

Re: Brace yourselves for Gonzalo:

on the subject of naming hurricanes, I know they go through the alphabet but are they always male names ? I'm sure I remember a female one in past few years, (Katrina ?). Or do they alternate male/female names ?
Also, Gonzalo wouldn't be the first 'G' name I'd think of. So how many times have they been through the alphabet...anyone ?
