love the title Mitch that's technical terminology we can all relate to

so i may be able to get away with calling a ...

tornado - a wheelie bin whizzer

lightning - flashy stuff

thunder - rumbly stuff

heavy rain - damping a bit out there

and strong winds - hang on to your hat weather

a typical forecast could run as follows :

there will be severe hang on to your hat weather with periods of damping a bit out there - later there could be some flashy and rumbly stuff - and the possibility of a few isolated wheelie bin whizzers

well nothing like bringing meteorology to the masses

( sorry just could not resist - got my silly head on today )
