So with all the current news gumf going on about Hurricane Ophelia coming our way and the news reporting saying the UK is going to be hit by this nasty storm, also comparing with the 1987 storm, I personally think they have gone overkill again .
yes it is a big old storm now and yes will cause some big problems for some parts of the country , Ireland and Scotland , but the news report suggested the whole UK was going to get battered .
Based on this data it looks to be far from correct, Ireland looks set to get the brunt of it and Scotland the tail of the storm so still a nasty bit of weather, the rest of our fair nation will miss it.
I for one wont be expecting much more than a light breeze in sunny old Guildford tomorrow, well the norm really.
I hope that anyone in the path of the storm is prepared for any damage etc, and take care out there.
