I like all kinds of weather, I love the fact that we have different seasons but I really really hate the wind.
It's just so destructive.
Been awake and listening to it for over an hour and it's wild.

Eugh me too. Got to bed late this evening and have been awake past couple of hours due to sound of the wind bashing the garden apart. Given up trying to sleep now and I've just got up and come downstairs!

Sorry I'm just having a moan.
I'm in the home counties and it's like a whirling dervish outside so I cannot imagine how those in the red alert regions are feeling.
I hope everyone is safe.

@CeeJay81 are you having to travel into work?

I can hear things wildly blowing around outside - I hate it and can’t sleep. I keep imagining the chimney falling down and thinking should I move everyone’s beds! I will be glad when it eventually calms down.

Me too. Makes, me anxious. Its getting scary out there! Wide awake and can't get back to sleep. Working at 6am, so no point trying now.

I like the sound of the wind but not the detrimental effect it can have on others, destruction or loss of life etc.

There was a thread earlier can't remember title. People are worried.
Keep safe peeps.

I'm also really anxious when it's windy outside. I honestly think it started with the wizard of oz because I've been like it since childhood. I think it's a mixture of that and the storm that Micheal Fish failed to predict in the 80's 🙈

Me too. Really stresses me out.

It's amazing how loud it can be! I'm a huge wind fan in principle, but the destruction is mind blowing sometimes which is definitely scary.

Yep, me too! Hate it
It does so much damage
