The question is why do I care?  Life is unmitigated boredom for people (autistic spectrum disorders) like me, now.  I’m ‘working from home’, although not actually producing anything.  Life is horrible, quite frankly, I wonder how many others feel the same?  

kinda agree but looking forward to tomorrow and this storm. keep your chin up , Mike

Maybe. 
 

30 miles south of Birmingham and South/West of there are today’s hot spot. North of that and you are struggling massively. 
 

It’s a Birmingham south event.

I would be VERY surprised if anything made it north of stoke. There’s a storm 10 miles south of me here (yet again, we are getting SCREWED) and that’s not making it any further north. I’m 25 miles north of Birmingham. I’m expecting to stay dry and storm less, too much of a westerly element. 
 

Somewhere in a line south of Birmingham into towards Worcester is going to get slammed tonight. Further north than that? 
 

Can’t see it. If I’m too far north then Leeds, Manchester, Stoke, Crewe etc have no chance today. 
 

An absolutely infuriating week so far here.

 

Leicestershire too far north?
