Weathermen warn of worst storm of winter
Published: Friday, 7 March 2008, 11:10AM
Britons will be battening down the hatches over the weekend as forecasters warn that the strongest storm of the winter is heading this way.

People are being advised to stay indoors on Sunday night and avoid unnecessary journeys with winds of up to 80mph expected to tear through parts of the country.

Forecasters are predicting that a band of exceptionally low pressure will bring with it heavy rain and severe gales.

The unsettled weather is expected to climax on Monday morning when the deepening low-pressure system swings east across the UK.

Trees will be uprooted and buildings suffer structural damage, but at this stage forecasters are not predicting it will be as severe as the devastating storm of October 1987.

Forecaster Stephen Davenport said: "This could well be the strongest storm of the winter."

I've also read it as it COULD happen. I think it isn't as certain as the press are making out.

I hope it is a lot less severe than they say. Been too much damage already this year.
