Who's to say that both routes aren't blocked!!!

Looks like the West coast, if any, might cop it the most.

I don't like gales either, nor fog.

Re: Hurricane Ophelia

Stay safe, Missy. I believe that there are several others (May, Boozercruiser among them) who will be impacted as well.

Old Joe, The Merry Widow is a vast improvement! We should go.

Re: Hurricane Ophelia

Hi

One of my neighbours has a huge branch overhanging his garden, which his neighbour has refused to do anything about in spite of polite requests.

I have a feeling that it may well come down in the forecast storm.

He has been round to borrow my chainsaw.

If its being performed when you come over then yes, but its a bit light and 'fluffy' for my taste - I prefer something like this:

Re: Hurricane Ophelia

Has hit! Causing extensive damage and destruction here. We are all ok but any donations to the rebuild costs will be appreciated.

Re: Hurricane Ophelia

Got a very funny sky here, sort of a dirty yellow & it's dark too, windy but feels warm.

It's really filthy up here and the seas are getting huge waves crashing in.

Look out for water spouts Tiffany darlin' - they are fairly common in these kind of conditions.
