[Fomas]

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.

[stratosphere]

I wish I knew an exact time for it...

[Blue]

well it is the weather ppl, so who knows they might get it wrong. It could turn away or just tire itself out

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.
