Storm Warning

In South Wales we are unused to being advised to stay in doors for the entire day. Storm Eunice, however, has led the Meteorological Office issuing a 'red' (danger to life) warning for the area (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/18/storm-eunice-london-added-to-red-weather-warning-amid-danger-to-life). Exceptionally high tides haven't helped the situation in coastal areas like this. No trains, no buses, no schools, no universities, no garbage collections etc. We should remind ourselves, however, that 100 mph winds plus rain and snow are modest in terms of what some people experience (often on a regular basis). Let's hope that electrical supplies are not disrupted. Otherwise, no Zoom-assisted teaching!
