I truly despair at how people can cream their jeans over an event such as this. I have a large tree at the front that's big enough to fall on my house. I have a large tree at the back that's also big enough to fall on my house. I'd like to keep my house intact, thank you very much.

It is a fine line we tread between genuine interest in the mechanisms of severe weather and a sometimes borderline fascination for it's impact. It goes with the territory so to speak. It would you have to admit be a very uninspiring chat forum if all we talked about was drizzle and fairly mild temperatures. And if that interests you may I suggest something I believe is known as Facebook LOL.
I genuinely don't harbour an ounce of guilt by saying I am fascinated by severe weather events, because there is zero I or anyone can do to stop or change them, but what we can do is study and learn and embrace them whilst of course ackowledging that they are capable of destruction and tragedy.
This is not a forecast for Monday by the way.
