A hurricane in the UK
???
That's what I thought. LOL
This idiot had previously made fun of a worried woman who rang in enquiring about it. If you watch the vid from the lower link you can see what he actually said. I was woken by the strong winds & so worried I went downstairs to listen to the radio. The weathermen were still saying, don't worry it's no more than a gale. Well, they obviously hadn't bothered to look outside as I was there & knew the difference between a 60 mph breeze & a full blown hurricane, (Apparently it wasn't technically a hurricane as it was in the Northern hemisphere.) Then there was a blinding flash & explosion from the nearby substation as the power went. No more radio. I spent the next few hours in candle-light strumming furiously on my guitar in an effort to drown out the sound of the storm. There was a brief lull which I imagine was the eye passing through & then it started all over again. This time I knew almost exactly what I was in for. I half expected the chimney to come crashing through the roof at any moment.
This was the most frightening experience I've ever had in my life & that fool never had the grace to apologise. If it had happened during the day I dread to think how many people would have died as a result of his incompetence.
I have the greatest respect for you guys in the US & other countries who suffer from this sort of thing regularly.
