Anti-storm people:
No I will NOT close my windows
I will not put my lawn furniture away
It's my RIGHT to do what I want in 85mph winds— Kate Masterofwhine 🕷 (@Masterofwhine) February 17, 2022

A Brit, almost horizontal due to the gale, with leaves, twigs and litter smashing into their face, umbrella inside-out, eyebrows blown clean from their head and half-closed eyes watering with tears fiercely whipped away by the gust, is unable to resist uttering:
“Bit windy”

I am in a Tree.
The Tree is on a Bus.
The Bus is in a Hedge.
The Hedge is in the Canal.

For those asking, the 'hoolie' in 'blowing a hoolie' may come from the Orkney Scots 'hoolan', a strong gale, influenced by the Irish use of 'hooley' for a very noisy party.

I'm not saying it's overly windy outside but I just looked out the window and saw this.#StormEunice pic.twitter.com/f1c00Okdr6

Finally – some excellent advice from the country’s Prime Cat.
IMPORTANT DIRECTIVE FOR ALL UK CATS: Only dogs would be stupid enough to go out in this weather. Find the warmest, most comfortable spot in your home and stay there…until June. #StormDudley #StormEunice pic.twitter.com/pRvBgLgmoQ
