Storm Nelson.
 

Has anyone else spotted that the current bit of windyness over the UK has been named:
'Storm Nelson' by the Spanish Met Service.

Significant to those readers of the 'Eagle' in the 1950s - 1960s.
Adventure strip drawn by Richard Jennings.

I do remember Storm Nelson and the Silver Fleet.

I wonder why the Spanish didn't choose Storm Grenville, or Storm Drake. Maybe next time?

And, There's this place in Southern Spain..

Or even Storm Palomares. (Where that USAF B52 crashed with a load of thermonuclear warheads.)

Very windy here yesterday [ Thursday ] i was in town and got blown over , ended up on my back.
Only have 3% feeling in my feet and legs / very unsteady on my feet at best of times .

I have one of those 4 wheel strollers with a seat i use and even with that got blown over
with wind so strong .
I have a big road legal mobility scooter but when its also raining hard cant use it and take
a Taxi into town .
Two nice young lads picked me up .
