whats more didnt Jon say he slept through it all ??!!

I watched the storm for several hours, Phil, but mum and sister who were
visiting slept through it all. As did at least one forecaster in the
vicinity of Ottery St Mary - he's now undergoing re-training. One of the
guys on duty at the time actually went out to investigate and took one or
two interesting pictures. I suggested he was lucky to make it back alive..

I'm looking forward to his 30 hr TAFs from Thursday...

The first ones will go out at 23Z tomorrow evening valid from 00Z to 06Z on
the 6th. Will be interesting to see what happens around the rest of the
world in terms of the new times and formatting.

Jon.
