185 mph winds. That's scary and awe inspiring at the same time. I remember as a lad trying to walk down Wigan Rd the year when we had our hurricane - winds must have been about 70 max and we were leaning straight into it - linking arms so we didn't blow over.

Just an update lots of flooding but Mrs and lad all safe, thanks for your messages fellas.

Dom that's good news , what a relief for you

Did you go outside and put your coat over your head like we used to at school, just to see if the wind could blow you over?

Kinell - there's thrill seeking and then there's fucking lunacy.

 

No doubt expects the emergency services to pick up the pieces if necessary.

That video is more than 10 years old.

Sky Sources: between 100-120 prisoners have escaped from a prison on the British Virgin Islands after it was partially destroyed by Irma

Just read that a few Britons were refused evacuation by american personnel as they weren't american citizens. This despite space being available.

 

Absolute cunts trick.

My aunt says the torrential rain has arrived with the hurricane due tomorrow though she reckons it's moving towards the west coast of florida. That will mean it'll be only be a cat 2 or 3 on the east coast, still serious but not quite as bad as first feared

Bit mental this

the winds basically sucks the water out and then later release it back and this is part of the storm surge

thats mental

How much energy must be required to achieve that?

 

Truly astronomical. Pity we can't harvest it in some way.

Pity it can't strike Merseyside

Pity it can't strike Merseyside

 

 

No one would notice a difference before and after, except theyd campaign for justice for Merseyside and blame the weather on the Tory government.

Just read initial repair estimates for Irma are between 20 to 65 billion dollars.

 

Ouch.
