Gusts in Milton were up to 185mph. Speeds in the tornadoes at the leading edge of Milton, could have been higher still.

The bit about the 400 Shahed drones - may - actually be true: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/10/09/russia-has-acquired-more-than-8000-shahed-attack-drones-from-iran-ukraine-may-have-blown-up-five-percent-of-them-in-a-single-attack/

All the newscasts I've seen, the person behind the mike was in water only up to his/her ankles. But then, would they have risked drowning or electrocution to bring a landmark broadcast to the American people?

You don't expect that sort of thing to happen on the BBC.

You're being a bit dramatic there Dick. Your attachment says 3754, falling to 3751 later this morning.

Ammo warehouse, reportedly holding 400 shahed drones. Would be good if it is true.

My son's mate in Fort Pierce, north of Miami, says tornado sirens have been going. He says there were 16 tornadoes, 2 miles from his house, down to 9 about an hour ago.

I can't shed any light on that. I hadn't played the video before, and at first glance, I thought it might be a column of smoke. Then I noticed it appeared to move around a bit, like a tornado. I'm as much in the dark as you are. Edit: I think the centre one might be a road sign in the near...

'Why Russia is in more trouble than it looks' - a discussion with Michael Kofman, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It's rather good. I particularly like the bit about Russia being effectively salami-sliced across a host of thresholds or perceived red lines.

Nothing much showing on the rain alarm: https://www.rain-alarm.com/

If any of you didn't quite believe me, when I said that 'spursy' has been submitted to Collins Dictionary, here it is: F****** tremendous! https://www.collinsdictionary.com/submission/20798/Spursy

I remember it was mooted that the drone attack on the arms dump at Toropets (the angel of Toropets) on Sept 18, was to mask a hit from a Storm Shadow. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but the delay in deciding about long-range missiles does seem to have gone on for a good...

Good observation. Whereas Pervis can, and does. Last season, he and Mitoma formed a potent partnership.

We've been ignoring Crimea, so here's a Bavovna from there, that forces Russia to declare an emergency... Gosh. Wait. Would you believe it? It's on Putin's 72nd birthday apparently...

'Weird how your mood changes after your team concedes three goals.' (y)

Perhaps he enjoys being the devil's advocate.

A comeback like we witnessed today is a bit of a rarity. Maybe once a season? We should enjoy it. After a crap first half, to emerge as winners is something to celebrate. Cheers! A good way to head into the international break.

My thoughts exactly. The Leeds fans are correct (that's not something I write very often). Rutter is far more effective further up the pitch, precisely for that reason - the risk of him losing the ball is lower. He lost the ball in a dangerous area: result, a goal for Spurs. He won the ball...

This game will be a goldmine for the club. It's not many games that you play so ineffectively, and then correct the mistakes to turn it around like we did. I hope Fab and his team will be crawling all over the video of this game. What did we do wrong? What did we do right? What lessons can...
