Biggest storm in 5 years (which isn't saying much) is happening tomorrow. School is cancelled and I'm going to be inside all day. Predicted winds up to 80mph (129 kmph). Should be fun.

Holy shit that is a strong storm.
Last time we had a very strong storm, last winter I think, it only reached those speeds on a nearby mountain, Stekenjokk. (It's a sami name so no I don't know what it means)
That storm was still enough to blow down a fuckload of trees all over and leave us without power or phones for.. I think 3 or 4 days.

That is a frikkin Hurricane on the Beaufort scale.
I really hope you ain't got one of those cheap Murican wood houses.

Pretty much all houses here are primarily made of wood, reinforced with concrete. And those stand up to this sort of weather reasonably well. So yeah, it'll be loud and scary, but she'll live.

Storm Journal Entry 1: The winds started yesterday, I'm sure they were no where near 80 mph but that much was expected. They were very loud though. They lasted through the night and calmed down now. The fence has been blown over as expected

Weird, everyone seems to be getting storm warnings...

It's raining really hard up here. I blame you and your storm for brining this weather upon South Canada.

Blame the Great Lakes.

You poor, poor bastard.

mean while...

What am I looking at here?

A weather map of the southeastern United States, colloquially (colloquially - used when people are speaking in an informal way(Merriam Websters Dictionary)) referred to as the South.

We have a lot more lakes than I thought.

Also, I think I can see Lake Lure there. I live 15 minutes away, yay.

Wait a second I know for sure that Birmingham is in the UK not the US.
Oh right I forgot like half your city names are from British places and the other half are made-up words made to sound indian.
