If the news is accurate this is a Cat-5 storm, and if this was coming towards US, the media would be screaming off the top of their lungs 24/7, but it's going to hit UK, so they don't say a word
The entire country faces at least three days of torrential downpours, savage 150mph gales and weeks of relentless flood misery.
Storm Brigid is expected to first hit UK shores later this afternoon before the full force of the onslaught rips into the country tomorrow.
Experts say it threatens to cause destruction on a par with the ferocious October St Jude’s Day Storm and subsequent Storm Emily which hit in December.
It came as figures show some areas of England have already had their wettest January since records began.
The Met Office said much of the south and Midlands already had twice the average rainfall for January by midnight on Tuesday - with three days still left in the month.
Storms have always been around, and this happens to be a winter storm, so I don't see a connection to GW. That was not the point of the thread anyway. I am just surprised the media is completely mum about a storm of this magnitude. I'll have to double check if the information is even accurate.

There's documentation of heavy rains in all seasons in the transition from the Medieval Warm Era to the Little Ice Age. As I recall it went on for 5 years and caused famines in Britain and Western Europe.
Could it be related to the fact that the storm hasn't reached you yet Over. Maybe the paper made up the whole thing. It's a British paper after all.
Daily Express huh? A few weeks ago, they were predicting we would be covered in snow! Whenever they haven't got any real news for their front page, they turn to the weather! Honestly, the predicted 'bad' weather has arrived...... it's raining, and a bit windy....... that's it!
