2012 is going to see some crazy ass weather is my prediction. The winds we had in L.A. a few weeks ago and today it was 84 degrees. The system is royally fucked in my opinion.

Winds of up to 106mph battered Britain yesterday, bringing death and destruction as many returned to work after the Christmas holidays.
A driver was killed when a tree fell on his van. The storm also claimed the life of a man on board a tanker which was hit by a huge wave in the Channel.
Barely a single area was spared the onslaught roaring in from the Atlantic, which toppled lorries and brought down power lines.
