*blinks* Oh. It's a hurricane

[winter]

Apparently the gale-force winds that kept me up all night are actually a hurricane named Kyrill. Cool. I've never been in named weather before.

Nice name, too.

EDIT: Christopher Lee recorded an album?? clip from the recording here :D

I think it should be made a requirement that if the earth gets/will be destroyed through insane weather, the storms all have such interesting names.

Apparently unlike the American random lists of names, in Europe you can actually buy the right to name a weather formation - and this one was bought by three siblings to celebrate their dad's 60-something birthday for some 350 euro, well before it turned into a hurricane. Talk about an explosive present ;)

It has to be said:

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
