That this little bit of rain coming in from the atlantic will be as bad as the apocalyptic "katrina esque" storm the newspapers and media are warning off..
few trees down maybe?

Aye and don't forget the chances of getting insurance next year will diminish due to living in an area susceptible to wind and storm damage

And there's the difference between the south coast and Scotland.
I took my mod2 bike test in a 50mph cross wind coming off the coast - that would be a force 9 on the beafort scale. We call it a bit breezy up here, down there it's a hurricane.
Not like there's autumnal storms every, err autumn either.

Storm in a teacup perhaps?
They did seem to be struggling on the news to show actual coverage - they had obviously set aside a lot of airtime and had very little to fill it with!
