Torrington N Devon an hour ago and still coming down and settled but it’s slushy so will be gone soon

Torrington, Devon just now trying hard to turn to snow but just not quite cold enough. Yet.

power is back on. Huge gusts are happening outside. If David Braine was correct yesterday, winds should start coming down soon, but still very gusty this afternoon

In Torrington too!! A few fences blown but them being already knackered seems to help

Incoming storm very fast from the north. In Reading. Thunder loud and ominous already!

If they know the risks, then they are inviting death, and putting at risk those good people who would try to save them. Simple as that.

That's not brave. There is no world in which that is brave. It's idiotic.

The risks are in the graphics above.... they have a major hurricane bearing down on them, and they've basically been warned (if they've even bothered listening), that their island is likely going to be forcefully overwashed by sea, and battered by air.

If they think "I know better so I'm not listening" then they're idiots. If they think "Well, it's only a chance that might happen" then they're idiots. If they think "If we're wrong, someone will save us and it'll be OK" then they're idiots.

The information we have is out there for a reason.

everybody has a right to do as they please. if they all are determined to stay then that is their choice. they must have experience and history of this sort of event.
