  I'm sorry to be totally off topic here, but I can't help taking the
opportunity to ask if you guys across the pond mean the same thing as we do
over here, when you say "storm".

  Sometimes -- usually when watching YouTube clips :) -- I get the feeling
that it's mostly about the downfall and not about the wind speed. Over here
storm means winds averaging 10-11 on the Beaufort scale (24.5 - 28.4 m/s).
