I hope the Met Office does not plan to call the ‘ D’ wind ‘Diana’ ?
I’m afraid that what for the Express must have been the “perfect storm” has already happened!

Please do not think you have the monopoly for overhyped news.....
You should read the Swedish newspapers, they are in fact just as bad.
Could it be that larger and larger part of the populations spend 99% of their concious time in front of a screen, and never venture outside fir more that 15 meters at a time?
Instead of giving sound advice they inky scare people.
You should see the supermarkets here before a hurticane or storm!
Guys glued to the phone, running around the aisles following advice from the wifes, what to buy...
The best one I remember was ine guy that filled his (US size) trolley with cooking oil and community sized bags of rice..
Do you get this mass hysteria in UK too these days?
You mean the Governments are making us fokus away from something?
I use pro grade Alu foil as my head cover, so
I am fine......
I still don’t get it when I read about people stocking up on perishables like bread or milk or frozen foods. That’s the first thing to ruin when the powers goes out.Last winter we had a 3 day snow event. It was mad. We have only one store and the shelves were bare by the first evening. You couldn't buy milk bread or fresh vegetables for 4 days. I saw one woman who lives on her own comming out with 3 loaves of bread....why? If we had all shopped normally food would have lasted longer .luckily I always have a good supply of tinned and frozen veg , powdered milk and other things so it didn't bother me much...
I know.... I always wondered why you, ancient suppliers of Tin to the civilized World, (indeed, the civilized World would not have progressed as it did without your Tin) renamed Aluminium foil to that!
I get cold feet.. would foil of tin socks be a sensible precaution ?
Because the foil in question was originally made from expensive Sn but is now made from cheaper Al and two syllables are easier to say than six.
FWIW, although it pains me as a son of St Piran, the role of Cornish tin carried by Phoenecian traders in the ancient world is rather overstated - there were plenty of sources of tin closer to the Med.
