Named storms
« on: November 18, 2015, 09:46:15 AM »
We have now had 2 named storms cross the UK in the last week - Abigail and Barney - and are expected another period of stormy weather today.  However, today's storm hasn't been named.  What's the requirement(s) for a name?  Strength of wind; amount of precipitation; ... ?

Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Lists of what is needed and a search engine to find your nearest collector (scroll to bottom for latter) are here:  http://www.twam.uk/donate-tools
