Default Giant Effing Storm

Anyone worried about this? I keep my bikes outside so I'm kind of worried I'll need some replacement parts after tonight...

Purportedly worst storm since '87.

It's just going to be breezy and a bit moist. Going to make the morning commute a bit more interesting on the bike.

I'm expecting and preparing for a storm equal to or greater than '87. In the hopes that it won't even come close.

Everything loose in the garden is now inside, stakes and ropes or props against the fence posts, fingers crossed. We're in the bottom of a small valley which runs SW-NE, so sou'westerlies get funnelled along it, plenty of fence posts and ridge tiles have been lost from neighbours over the years I've been here.
