UK DUers have you seen this -severe weather warnings as hurricane Bertha crosses Atlantic

[malaise]

Forecasters have warned that parts of Britain can expect almost a month's rainfall in the space of a few hours and strong winds, especially in the south, on Sunday, with the risk of flooding as the remains of hurricane Bertha reach this side of the Atlantic.

The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for rain for Sunday covering Wales and southern England, bringing at least a temporary end to a glorious summer. "There is the potential for widespread rainfall totals of more than 50mm and coastal gusts of over 60mph, along with large waves," said the Met. "However, the system may pass harmlessly to the south of the country or spread heavy rain even further north, and the public are advised to keep up to date with warnings."

2. A bunch of people I know are headed over for the science fiction worldcon

The con starts in London on Thursday, so a lot of people are setting out now to do the touristy stuff beforehand. This could really mess things up for them.
