Expecting a huge surge here on the East coast sometime in January, dont have a clue where they will all live?

[Newt]

Is any of this likely to affect you?

 

A developing extratropical low pressure system over the North Atlantic, dubbed "Xaver" by the Free University of Berlin, is predicted to "bomb" into a potent storm with winds near hurricane force that will bring damaging winds and storm tides to the coasts of Germany, the Netherlands, and Denmark on Thursday. By Thursday night, Xaver's center will cross southern Sweden, and damaging winds from the storm will sweep the coasts of Poland, Lithuania, and southern Sweden. The center of the low will pass over southern Norway, bringing strong northwest winds that will funnel down the North Sea. The European model predicts that at 18 UTC on Thursday, winds on the west coast of Denmark will be sustained near 58 mph (93 kph). Xaver will be accompanied by intense thunderstorms capable of mixing the stronger winds occurring aloft down to the surface, and wind damage may rival that of October's Extratropical Storm "Christian" (AKA the St. Jude storm), which bottomed out at 968 mb. Christian killed 18, and did $1.4 billion in damage.

It's having quite an impact in Scotland and the North of England Newt.

 

And we are expecting quite a tidal surge along the east coast tonight and on Friday.

Going to have drive down to the local beach tonight, could be fun watching the waves battering the defences.

We got a real battering down our local beach. Waves as high as 30 foot at on spell. Where the airshow is that also got a battering. Sea defences wall doing the job though.

 

This lad has his gable end blown down, ironically he's a bricklayer by trade. VIDEO
