Wouldnt be suprised if it was bad.
There is a massive tropical storm waiting to start.
The warm air and stuff can easily cause a hurricane. Im probally very worng.

I doubt Hurricane Gordon will come to the UK.
Its quite a few miles off the coast in South england. If it does hit it wont hit for another week or so.
So dont worry. Its not going to go to northen ireland tonight.

Parts of the UK are bracing themselves for storms as the tail-end of a hurricane makes its way towards Britain.
Northern Ireland and Scotland will be worst hit when Hurricane Gordon arrives on British shores later this week.
The storm is set to bring heavy rain and strong gusty winds which could reach up to 75mph, forecasters said.
Paul Motts, of the PA WeatherCentre, warned there was a risk of localised flooding with around 2in (50mm) of rain likely to fall during Wednesday and Thursday.
"There will be severe gales across Ireland on Thursday night. Winds will average 50-55mph but will be gusting up to 75mph.
"Some places will see up to 2in of rain," Mr Motts said.
Heavy showers threaten to interrupt play when the Ryder Cup gets under way in Straffan, County Kildare, on Friday.
But the worst of the storms should have passed, making way for a weekend of sunshine and showers, he said.
Elsewhere in western England and Wales conditions will not be so severe, with gusty winds tomorrow reaching up to 50mph.
"Across exposed parts of south-west England and west Wales the winds will not be as bad as across Ireland and the rain will be on and off," Mr Motts said.
Meanwhile, as storms lash the West, eastern parts of England will enjoy warm, dry conditions with temperatures in London and the South East reaching an unseasonably warm 26°C (79°F) on Thursday.

Since when have weather people been right.
Scotland was meant to have a severe storm last week. Did it happen? Noooo....

Needs to cross the Atlantic first bud, and even that will break up the wind so its like 30 - 40mph.
hopefully that will make me happy if it reaches England:)

It's only 75mph? That's not actually that bad... It i bad, but it won't cause too much chaos. The worst it would do is knoch trees down and rip off roofs made out of sheets.
In Essex, a hurricane struck when a weatherman specifically told everyone that it won't hit. But he was wrong... It wasn't that bad as far as I am aware. A few phonelines down and a few towns/villages cut off. Nothing too severe.

I hate hurricans or nuttin,
here in the south east we get them all the time the tail ends,
Its like like any other wind, but lil stronger - and funnier cos u all get blown down the hill.
Nuttin will probs come of it,
once we had a big storm here, and my dad was filming it outside :P we got drenched, and my bro lost his scoobie knot thing he was useing it as a boat down the gutter and it washed away :( , it was glittery and about a month later we found the strings outside our house ish, it was all apart all the glitter had gone so. thats how bad it was, but i doubt it could get that bad.
But good luck, i diidnt even hear about this..
Oh p.s happy pirates day me mateys!
