Do you guys not recognize "orange" as a color?

Amber is a similar colour to orange.

Orange is a fruit, and not the only one.

Amber is a similar colour to orange.

Agreed, but not as manly.

So in the end, the storm took a more southerly track and the centre is passing pretty much over us ( pressure just bottomed out at 954.5 hPa about an hour ago) keeping the worse of the winds to the south.
Jersey >90mph, one location in northern France recently had a gust of 129mph! Even Portland recorded 66mph, so it's clear how quickly the wind tapers off ayou go north...

Here, the wind will probably get up in the next 2-3 hours, but shouldn't be anything too severe compared with further south. The amber warning being downgraded yesterday indicates the MO were very confident about the track of the low by that stage, and were spot on.

Do we think there could be a chance this will be called off ? 10k people's safety ? Or go ahead as planned?.

I think we only cancel games against Forest

[tedisking]

Go and ask anyone on Jersey if it was a storm in a teacup.......travelled home last night after the game it was carnage on the roads.....trees down ...flooding where I've never seen before......but as long as your wheelie bin is ok thats what counts
