They've always been there, it's just that weather porn sells now so they name them and cause panic for clicks.

Customer rescheduled until tomorrow after all. What's the word on the street up there now for tomorrow @Boydy?
There's a yellow warning for tomorrow but shouldn't be as bad as last night's/this morning's amber warning.
Amber warning for here now tomorrow. Fence-gate part 2 on the cards? Seething.
Still seems fairly mild temperature wise. Trialling sleeping with the window open this autumn/winter. My clothing choice for sleep is a t-shirt and boxers and so far, it's still working out well but I suspect layers will quickly be needed come the end of this month before we bin the experiment off in mid-December.
We've got a stay at home order for Thursday. This could be the greatest storm of our lifetime, so I'm gonna check it out later and probably have a tree fall onto my car. I can already hear the world rumbling away and we're nowhere near started.
The track still looks quite uncertain as to weather Northern France or Southern England is going to get the brunt of it.
France, Hopefully.
The weather radar we use at work very firmly believes it'll be the south coast getting bummed.
I'm just glad we're not due to be what breaks it up for everyone else for once.
The Amber warning for wind seems ridiculous at the moment. It's windy but nothing abnormal.
We've got a yellow warning for rain but the forecast has it peaking at 2mm/hour around lunchtime.
It is absolutely wanking it down here, so they atleast got that bit right.
Looking at the models I think it's taken the southern track and the brunt of it is hitting where it's most deserved: France.

And Offy's manor, where the superhorsepower mentality has seen their local politicians gathering up hailstones and posting pics of them next to rulers for scale. Gutted probably doesn't begin to describe their airport 'only' clocking 93mph winds.
This might play havoc with the train home but that's future me's problem.
Some serious damage here. A fair amount of roofs gone and walls tumbled, mostly due to a tornado ripping through St Clements.

There's a video of a cyclone out at sea that looks insane too. I'd have loved to see that irl.
But thankfully I'm fine, so please don't worry guys. How's Guernsey, Niko?
I think it's fine, but I no longer live there. The west coast may have been a bit flooded at the high tide this morning, but other than a few trees down don't think the wind did much damage.
An actual Tornado in Jersey? We really have upset the almighty.
Might have to invest in a boat if this keeps up.

Everything went fine. All the rail bother was happening on other routes. All the same, I'd like the bus strike to be swiftly resolved so I don't have to rely on one train every two hours.

The wind in the South East is genuinely ridiculous at the moment.
The rain is back. Missed you, old friend.
It's sunny and just a bit breezy down here. I think the North has a NAMED STORM today though.
Had to skirt around another fallen tree due to the wind on the way to work this morning. That's 3 in the past 2 months or so, the B road is an absolute mess with leaves and sticks all over the shop.
We've had a named one all night (what sort of spelling is Debi?) and it was rough enough but nothing near the "SEVERE THREAT TO LIFE" we were told.
I reckon we blame the Dutch again.
Although I have been emailing someone called Taylah this morning, so who knows. Debi well within the realms of modern possibility. If anything, perhaps a bit too normal spelling. Dhebby.
Insane winds round my way. Shorts just about held out.
It's fairly blowy here now. Worse than when we had the Amber warning a couple of weeks ago, but no warning this time. I'm not sure how the warning system works, but it doesn't seem to make much sense.

I feel like the SAD is kicking in early this year. The relentless grey and damp. Dear lord, please just transport me to May.
Yep. It's not even so much the dark, just the diabolical endless shades of grief that currently occupy the space where there should be day.
Early? Surely just after when the clocks go back is its peak?
I'm normally OK until January, where the distraction of Halloween, Christmas and New Years disappears and I'm met with the stark realisation that we still have another 3 months of this shit.
It's unbearably grey and bleak at the moment. I can't remember the last time the ground wasn't wet.
Quite sunny here.
Also SAD is one of the worst “backronyms” I’ve ever heard.
I'm a twit
I just thought Spikey was really sad.
Me too.
The weather isn’t that bad. Hasn’t really rained as much as it was in October and start of this month. can’t even wear my new jacket either as the weather is still in the low teens or just below.
Yeah, it's been way worse than this before at this time of year. It's basically Christmas now, so there's that. New year is sound as well as it gives you space to get your shit together. March/April is usually when shit starts falling apart for people, just before we get that much needed blast of vit D to bring us to peak.
Yeah, fuck that.
Don't believe the climate change idiots. It's just another way to tax you. Tornados are normal in Ireland.
I mean, Britain gets the most Tornados in the world pound for pound, they're just small, as was that one. I imagine the aren't unheard of in Ireland.
They're not, it's just unlikely that they'd hit an inhabited area. Kiko is just another in a long line of nuts claiming it's climate change related. They clearly didn't buy enough electric cars in the area.
I'm more bothered about the mosquitos hitting our shores in 2040.
My patio furniture had done a merry dance all around the garden on Saturday night/Sunday morning but it seems to have calmed down now.
I'm a twit
Yeah, same here. They're normally F1's or F2's and over fields or water, but they do occasionally hit populated areas. Romford and Kings Heath spring to mind.
Fence panel broke off last night.
Carbon footprint clearly too high at the Mahow residence.
Proper mixed bag this week. #consistency
