Just started raining here moderately. Russ

My spell check auto corrected your quote.....W/nellys Not sure if this is Jan or Feb 1991, I took it from my roof window at that time it shows the cliff and shore from Shanklin towards Sandown. It was below freezing all day when i took it, i had a wood burner in that room(!) It was roaring, that's what kept the snow of my roof. We had a burst pipe which i had just mended, spotted whilst still frozen, thank god i was thawing the rest The beach had a good few inches of snow, it was my first experience of snow next the sea as i had never lived near it before, quite surreal at the time

I was at my grans in Wythenshawe, Manchester for the 76, father took us for a drive to see the destruction, which i remember was particularly bad by Manchester air port tunnel road, large dead elms blown all over the place. i was in Reculver, Kent, for the 87, that was the best storm i have been in up to now. For the 1990 storm i crossed the Solent for the first time on the 24rd Jan, the next few days were memorable, watching the sea rough as you like, trees all over the place, caravans likewise. Nowt has touched any of them since Russ

Tuggy 1 Desperatlyseeking 3 AFT 1 Stratus 2 Dave 2010 1 Hope i have spelt them OK. Well done everybody. Russ.

Well done James brilliant pictures, glad you are OK. What a memorable experience, it'll be with you for a long time no doubt

Looks pretty bad on the news hope you are ok. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/5394626.stm We had a waterspout today off Brighton b/w small potatoes i know. Russ

Well done Wibs, even my avatar likes the discription b/w :o

Cheers Chris. Russ :o

In the link WIB provided it looks like this at the mo:- 2006 4.3 3.7 4.9 8.6 12.3 15.9 19.7 16.1 -99.9 -99.9 -99.9 -99.9 -99.99 I presume they will change the next -99.9 Septembers, tomorrow

Will we know the answer in an hour or so or will it take a bit longer? or will we have to wait till the press says? I hope the result is easy to find! Russ

In an attempt to prompt the thunderstorm of a lifetime and missing out putting it in the competition Here is my 3rd entry I think the Scots are very lucky people, if you like clear air and scenery, like me that is, for some its too quiet Sun rise at Nairn. Oh god i just noticed the con trail and i just said about clear air

My sentiment exactly, but with all this thunder about, i had better hang on, although if i post my third entry now, it may guarantee the best storm ever in Brading I'll wait............... <_<

Excellent well, done mate. I expect your Internet connection will last but a short while <_< You are in for a tremendous experience.

Yep mine is MCT's, it's been on TV as-well Inspiring.........

Very slight signs here at the moment, Poplars look scruffy so do Beech and Cherry. Horse chestnut's have looked crap since they caught leaf-miner in a big way in June. Firewood sales have just started up Roll on the frost

Looks like the Cat has it. Sorry that was my avitar speeking

I wonder will anything come of that lot just over west Cornwall? Perhaps Kent will get distant rumbles from the storm over Calais, it seem to be moving East though Sorry, should have posted this in the Convective general discussion, i would not be at-all offended if you moved it. My mistake

This is really cool TH, keep it up mate :blink: I hope you get in position OK, good luck. Russ.

Long range forecasts are interesting and long may people continue making them 70% is better than nothing......

Seal pups shouldn't be allowed, it's not fair, they are just too cute

I remember having a few large old trees to clear up and loads of branches, the worst missed us though. The reason i remember is that it was so soon after Christmas, sort of New Year with a bang St catherines Lighthouse on the Isle of Wight got 120mph, the UK's highest wind speed, so i have always been told by the people down here, i moved here in 1990. I was in Kent when the 87 came, it was so cool well warm actually <_<

They are very nice Louby, the sort people think, you have to go on holiday for

Maybe this is one hurricane too many for the low to absorb,a sort of hurricane indigestion. Your theory sounds like fun GW I can't wait to see the result if your right

That would be nice, best news i have heard all day. I respect the fact that you are giving an educated guess this far off, but its nice to hear
