A Hurricane in London?
Is there any conceivable chance of a hurricane reaching the Palace of Westminster in London and retaining enough strength to sufficiently warp the sound waves issuing from the Big Ben clock-tower?
Yes, I know... I ask weird questions.
I don't know about warping sound waves, but I doubt that would happen. As to the first part of your question, the cold waters of the north Atlantic would technically not allow a hurricane to reach the London area. I say technically because a hurricane is a cyclone that bears certain characteristics, which are lost once they go over colder waters. What sometimes happens is that the former hurricane transitions into an extra-tropical cyclone. Basically that means it changes the way it derives its strength. The now extra-tropical low can move into the Great Britain area and still possess hurricane force winds and likewise do significant damage, it just technically is not a hurricane.
