Apparently the storm is missing my area completely, looks like 15mph winds and a bit of rain.

Same here (maybe we live in the same area?). The only plan I've made is to tell the friend that I often swim with on Friday lunch hour that I'm not going swimming if it's raining, which it probably will be.

Not sure doing a supermarket shop a day early classes as scaremongering really

Show quote history

It’s getting people in a panic, by mentioning storm, and grocery shopping.

Do what you need to do too feel safe n any given situation but why come on to the internet and fuel panic.

It’ll be rainy here and there might be some sleet. Expecting a normal day.

Even if we were affected, storm preparedness for us is just moving the wheelie bin to the corner where it won’t tip over and moving the car away from the big tree. We always have loads of food in and battery packs, matches etc.

Do you live in the southwest or in a hilly area? Honestly if you don’t, I’m not understanding the panic

It’s just forecast to rain near me, haven’t seen a spec of snow this year yet.

I've weatherproofed my chicken run - they usually stay inside the coop anyway, when the weather is bad. We live on the coast and the winds in winter are pretty wild a lot of the time. I'm not looking forward to Storm Goretti but we have plenty of wood for the fire and a full pantry and fridge. The dogs have been walked and we intend to stay indoors until it is all over.
