Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!

[Taipan]

My Manager just said to me oh you're in! I didn't expect you in today with these winds!

Fecking own goal there Mr Reliable!

I bet he's used that one on the whole team.

In a strange turn of events, it's calm as hell here this week.
Me pals have been moaning they can't go surfing

It hit my home town last night and caused over 10 million pounds worth of improvements...

Costa Teguise beach soon...

[gremlin]

Pffft. I've sat on Margate beach as a kid in worse than that. All you need is a strategically placed windbreak and to eat your fish paste sandwiches under the blanket.

This was a 15ft storm surge albeit from Hurricane Ian 2 years ago...

If only people would stop engineering weather....

It's a thing. Margie Greene says so: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... lor-greene

Yeah, in 'Skeggie' terms that's just 'a bit fresh'.

It got me wondering about the redistribution of sewage back onto land from the sea though which led me to this gem:

'A study has revealed the ten ‘dirtiest’ beaches across the UK with sites in Bradford, Blackpool and North Somerset topping the chart.'

Bradford???

(Turns out there's a shingle 'swimming beach' on the River Ilkley somewhere near Bradford. Who knew?).

Shippams or Sutherlands?

There's a beach in Newport Pagnell too. Surfing is crap but the likelihood of shark attack is low.

No such thing as River Ilkey. The Wharf is super clean though..

Yeah, I think they got their geographic knickers in a twist. They mean the Wharfe at Cromwheel, Ilkley.

Super clean but frequently contains quite a lot of things you really don't want to swim in?

One Sheriffs Dept had a specially built structure that could withstand a hurricane to house vehicles & boats etc used for rescue work. It got flattened by a tornado & collapsed on all the rescue equipment & vehicles...

Seems not much has actually happened here despite the forecasts. This was clearly fake news put out by the Govt to pursue its climate change agenda!

It's 30c here right now. Wish there was some wind

You ungrateful wretch! Our glorious leaders spend £billions engineering not-hurricanes and you complain you're in a not-hurricane because social media - aka the MSM controlled BBC weather app - said there will be hurricanes.
