Stormageddon

[Blue in Munich]

Hoping it's not going to be as bad as predicted as we're supposed to be flying from Gatwick at 9.30 tomorrow morning

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

It won't be as bad as the weather forecast is having you imagine it might be - still may be pretty c**p unfortunately. Not that windy at the moment down here - but torrential rain and flooded roads aplenty.

I think that the BBC Weather presenters should measure wind strength by the amount of clubs required to be dropped / gained!

WEATHER WARNING: Driver required on 170 yard par 3.

In all weather for me matey.

*******STORM UPDATE******

Well in the last 10 minutes the wind has really started to get going with some pretty strong gusts.
When this thing arrives it's doing it with style by the looks of things!

Stay safe.

Laid in bed and it is blowing a proper gale on the south coast now. Rain is lashing the Windows. Bin day tomorrow so there will be rubbish everywhere. At least the seagulls will be happy.

******STORM UPDATE******

It's blowing hells delight down here now.
The forecast was right, we now have a steady wind of around 30mph with gusts now hitting around 60mph.
the rain has nearly stopped but that might just be because it can't get to the ground through the wind.

Look out your insurance policies best of luck guys.

Nothing compared to the GREAT STORM of 87, or was it the GREAT STORM of 89 ?

 

[richart]

So glad I live on the top of a hill surrounded by hundred foot plus trees. At least flooding will not be a problem.

It was '87, the year before we moved to Cornwall and it's not far off it already but I think it's just getting itself wound up.

Hello! is there anyone there?....
















All Ok for everyone I hope the TV pics look like it was a bit of a rough night

 

[Dellboy]

Well so far so good, only things gone are the for sale sign, which doesn't matter as we have sold and moving in 10 days, & as yet still can't find 5 of my fence panels and our small tree, 15 ft tall, is now 2 ft tall, joys or living in one of the highest towns in Britain.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Just gone out to put something in the car and found a branch down off one of the trees in the road. Was told off by the War Office for booking my car into the airport car park rather than hers when I did it, glad I did now, don't fancy being blown around in a Honda Jazz this morning. Hope everyone gets through it okay.
