I hope she's wrong!

Hasn't happened like that for nearly 60 years... so I don't think we will get two in one week...
Then again... famous last words and all !!!!!

Well... not as bad as the one mid week... but

HERE WE GO AGAIN !!!!!!

They were close in their prediction mate !!! Maybe they are better at doing long distance predictions... They are 1 for 1 here! 100%

Edit: Only minor this time though, NOTHING like the mid-week storm !
