Got off lightly here. A few dead trees came down, and....well that's it really. Hopefully nobody got it too bad

I hear the displaced Syrian refugees are so upset by the distressing images they are seeing on the news that they have started an appeal to help a few southerners replace some trees that have blown down. Stay strong guys, stay strong.
Also good to see the Daily Mail not over exaggerating in any way with their headline SHUTDOWN [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478056/SHUTDOWN-Trains-suspended-flights-cancelled-thousands-power-110mph-St-Judes-Storm-brings-travel-chaos-millions.html[/URL]
After all, as it states in the article 'Sussex: Flooding and a broken down car on the A267 in Hand'
So my special thoughts go out to those on the A267 in Hand, just hang on in there in these very troubling times, you are not alone as the country is wasted. I am typing this using the last of my battery power, I am suriving on cold baked beans and later today I may venture out into the post nuclear apocolypic wasteland that used to be England to see if anyone else has survived. So you are not alone.

Generally I don't miss a chance to poke my stick at our neighbours but like Andy808 I was in Wiltshire in 1987 and that was quite horrendous. Never experienced anything like that in Scotland.
99mph wind off The Needles. My wife's elderly mother lives on top of the hill in Ryde and my BIL has a beach side cafe. Both OK this morning.

Just seen the bad news about those getting killed by falling trees etc...
It puts a whole new cruel twist on the perspective of things when people start being hurt and losing their lives

It does annoy me when people make light of these occurances.
The radio stations were full of "send Emergency Services, my bin's been blown over" - really taking the Mick out of it.
And then we hear some Girl in a Caravan gets crushed by a falling tree...
Let's all have a laugh about that shall we.....:angry:

So you do read the Daily Mail then. Your attempt at sarcasm is pathetic.

Of course he does.
How else could he regularly play the role of " outraged Guardian reader" at every opportunity.
Good old South West trains. Couldn't run a train between Bracknell and Reading before midday (gave up checking after then). Forced to take a days annual leave as there wasn't another way in other than getting the wife to drop me off and I didn't want her going too far just in case.

We missed the worst of it down here but we still had a fatality not directly caused by the storm but my the mess it left behind.
A van hit debris on the road and the driver is dead with the passenger in a serious condition in hospital.
As funny as it may be to some to post pictures of their garden furniture blown over there are four families that have lost loved ones in this storm and it has changed their lives forever. I'm just pleased that no one in my family and, so far, no one on the forums families have been hurt.

To show their complete incompetence a train in the south west which didn't have any passengers on managed to hit a fallen tree!
For crying out loud you shut the rail network in case trees fell on the lines but you sent out a driver going too fast without fully checking the line. The driver is uninjured fortunately.

Glad I stayed home, apparently the roof was blown off our offices
