A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and a typhoon occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean; in the south Pacific or Indian Ocean, comparable storms are referred to simply as "tropical cyclones" or "severe cyclonic storms".

That do you?

I understood that, up to "A hurricane".

Ditto!

I'm glad someone else thought that, Martyn !!

Best "Miss-see" I had was when I was walking down a street in Newark (Notts)..just casually looking around. There was a big advertising billboard at the end of the street.
I glanced at it and looked away.....And thought "WHAT".....You can't print F*CK in four foot letters on that.

(That was the first time I ever saw an advert for French Connection UK.)

If I'd been driving past, I wouldn't have been able to do a double take, and would have gone home and told Von....."You'll never guess what I saw down town."

Cheers - Phil

And by the time they reach New Zealand they're known as "ex-tropical cyclone"

I always mis-read Extreme Fishing in the TV book . . .

You didn't need to ask Ian, you could have just looked out the window; it was very visible

Can I help you with any more Hurricane questions, or are we just typhooning around?

After that one I'd get a coat. Here is another one to contemplate - What is the difference between a boat and a ship....

You can put a boat on a ship but you can't put a ship in a boat.

I dunno, is it a ship off the old block? I'll get me boat

Could be interesting

I'll tell you what.

The wind's far stronger this weekend (Thank you Dennis)...

We're supposed to be getting deluged with rain.....Not happening...I think it's all being blown sideways over the border into the land of the Saesneg....so that nothing hits the ground here.

Stay safe, chums.

Cheers - Phil

You have your bloody rain back, and keep the wind - in other words its reversed here...

I can imagine, Ian.

Take care, Matey.

Still blowing like a good 'un, here......But the wet stuff isn't having a chance to hit the ground.....It seems to be going right over the top of us, (at the mo') here in Pembrokeshire.

Some poor folk are in for an horrendous deluge. 

Cheers - Phil

Like the one that's hitting here, ta!

Glad I caved to other half's "get panels nooooow" and prepared by having three fence panels delivered yesterday. We just had a FOURTH  one go >_<

Slightly different wind direction so less chance of panels being damaged, which is nice. Bloomin' wet though .

Taking the cat to an emergancy vet in a storm (another fight, another abscess) ... nice

It never rains but it pours, eh.

Stay safe all

Adding insult to injury we now have a leaking dormer window in the loft. Yay.
