The Storm!

 A part of Halloween that we get to experience in the UK just to add extra spookiness, is really windy, stormy weather. October usually sees the start of the storm season, and yesterday we got our first named storm of the season Storm Austen, which affected the south of the UK, and today it's our turn up North and we're getting battered by the second storm, Boelo...

While this does help clear the trees of their leaves, and set the right mood with the clouds billowing past the full moon, it also throws up a few annoyances! We've had a yellow alert warning all day for wind and rain, and just within the last hour and a half that yellow warning has become an orange or amber alert, which means severe and dangerous to life, and also, that power cuts are more likely... 

Because of this, I've changed my planned Spook Sighting post for today, because those always require a lot of writing and checking and I don't want to be stuck halfway through and then lose power, so instead I thought I'd fling a quick tale up from my comic scan collection that seems appropriate for the situation!

Here then, is The Storm from Adventures Into Terror 44 (Issue 2) by Atlas Comics, dated February 1951...

An odd little story, I'm sure you'll agree! Not really sure what that ending was about though?? If they're old, why are they back out a day before they even went in?? Weird!!??!!

Oh, and if you notice, I decided to leave the ads in this time as well, because I reckoned that everybody always leaves them out, but they're fun to look at too!!

Right, that wind is really starting to pick up now, and I can see the lights flickering a bit,so I better get this posted just in case we get power cut No.2 of the day soon! We do have this warning until 9pm tomorrow night, but hopefully things will have quietened down before then and I can get that other post put up. I've just realised I've probably wrote more here than in a lot of other posts too, which kinda negates this as a rush post too, but it felt quicker to put together! 😂
