I watched Sky weather for an hour, half an hour ago.
It dealt with nothing but storm warnings and explanations
re the impending surge. I then turned to the BBC News
channel as the weather came up - not one mention of
severe weather.
One nothing - the other frightening the life out of millions
of people, crazy.

Perhaps the point is, - "those who have a limited interest in severe
weather should follow the synoptic situation themselves, rather than
relying on the media to forecast something that they are quite capable
of predicting on their own"

This old story from October 2006 is linked to from the front page under
the headline story...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5279796.stm

a) It shows general areas of threat if there were no barriers. This
graphic will make people near the Bristol Channel and along the Thames
think they are under threat now!!

b) The graphic at the bottom shows air pressure pushing down onto the
sea causing a bulge with the caption "Low pressure forces bulge in sea
surface"!!

Stupid and irresponsible to link to this IMO.

According to the pressure charts on the BBC website, the low pressure
area responsible for the surge is a lofty 1016

Carol Kirkwood covered it at some length on News 24 at 16:56 and 17.30
this afternoon and BBC1 news at 22:00 gave extensive coverage in the
main bulletin.
