Just spent my lunch break moving a downed tree blocking the road outside my work. Crazy weather today!

Blowing a gale here in the north east kept my little lad home today as his play group is surrounded with 30ft pine trees .
The glass in my front room windows is flexing with the high winds I've closed the curtains in case they come through on the kids .im also hoping they have closed the play group for today until the winds pass .

No work for me today. I opened the workshop door and a big gust blew in and literallly moved the workshop. Its big shed and the door faces the prevailing wind... Thats staying locked up for the day.

I went down to the allotment to check my fencing, which is a bit rickety. To my surprise none of it has blown down. It has a lot of give in it due to the soil being waterlogged around the posts. US Army pup tent I use to keep stuff dry is still standing as well

In my neck of the woods the impending threat is coastal flooding thanks to a storm surge, high tide and onshore wind.

The Environment Agency are taking this one seriously; lots of severe warnings in place (possible loss of life). The high tides get to us from around 22.45 until midnight. I should be fine as I'm far enough inland but some of our favourite places could have a hell of a night.

Fingers crossed.

Pretty breezy down this neck of the woods but not as bad yet as it was beginning of November. I don't think they predicted the really high winds to reach this far south

Hope you don't loose any more panels Paul and if you do they don't cause additional damage.

Fingers crossed everyone else is ok as well

It's a bit blowy here too. We have 3 fence pannels down.

I just saw/heard the last one go. I heard a crunch and watched it fly across the garden about 3 ft off the ground the whole way.

Going to have to get some new ones:rolleyes:

The wind has slowly been building up over the last few hours here, don't think it will get that bad, its the coast that is in trouble I thinks with the predicted high tides. Strange how there was little or no warning over this lot, compared to the bit we had last month or is it because its Scotland that got hit hardest not the south of England

Really stormy here in the centre of the country last night; the garden took it well though I gathered up armfuls of kindling blown in from the trees beside the lane. Sunny and calm and just now it's windy again and it's snowing.

I know we joke about the whole, "Don't like the weather? hang on, there'll be another kind along in a minute :)", but this is a tad extreme even for us.

Stay safe folks :)

cheers,
M

All the country wide forecasts I've seen the last few days has been warning of high winds to the north of the country.

Been a lovely day down here, mostly sunny, light winds and a balmy 10 degrees. Wind is picking up a bit in gusts now but nothing more than about 30mph.
