Anyone else being battered by this storm?

Sorry. It posted twice!

Yup .... I am nearby and Monmouth is awash and my two neighbouring villages have rivers running through and a bridge has collapsed. It is the worst I have ever seen.

We live just the other side of the Wye and the devastation in Monmouth is heartbreaking. It's the worst flood ever experienced in the area, caused by the effect of the Monnow overflowing into the Wye and overwhelming it. The town was waist high in water at the bottom of the high street 😥

We got a bit of rough wind and rain that was all.
I got my brully and went for a walk in it at 10.30 at night.
Loved it.

I’m not far from you and we still don’t have any bloody power! We’ve had to come to my parents house! 😬

I agree OP, we’re in the north west and it was horrendous- trees down all over the place, some hit power lines and houses. It was really frightening.

oh thats good news.

we’re much more inside the yellow zone than you but have had hardly any wind and not really that much rain since last night. Had quite a bit Thursday night and Friday daytime but didn’t hear a thing overnight and have been out with no sign of rain at all today.

It did thank goodness, just really noisy and hair raising. Suprised it's not been that cold but I'm sure heating bills gonna be massive! Looking forward to next week and snow apparently 🤦‍♂️

did your roof protection hold? I really hope so .

Flooding here is S Wales

I'm in a similar area to you OP and it was so much worse than forecast. Loads of trees down, garden objects flying everywhere. Including in our garden - out warning was just for rain so we didn't do our usual 'tie everything down '

Horrendous last night. Definitely worse than Amber, god help us when it’s a true Red

I'm further north and there's a tree down on our street, and we lost our bins for a while! No damage to our house thankfully. I had to carry my daughter from school to the car because the wind literally knocked her off her feet.

Yes! Looks like we are in about the same location as you OP and it has been absolutely wild. Seems to have finally died down a bit now but there are trees down all over the place, lots of roads blocked and some flooding. The wind was powerful, so loud. Our dog wouldn't go out for her walk last night, made it to the end of the drive and started shaking, this is unheard of her walks are everything! But I think we were safer staying in to be honest.

I have just ventured outside to find my heavy wooden garden bench has been blown from one end of the patio to the other and it looked like a war zone in general. No tiles off by the looks of it thankfully.

@Blarn I saw that Stratford road had flooded. I used to live there😅 I'm not in Birmingham but right next door and it was horrendous here too

Yes, Birmingham. Its been surprisingly bad. Although more damage was done in that storm before Christmas last year that brought down loads of trees, including over the trainline I get to work. Our windows aren't the best and it sounded like the wind was whistling through every single one, it was all directions!

Staffordshire here and it has been horrendous Bins everywhere, trees and fences down all over. Not a pleasant day or night.

My roof is leaking! It’s dripping through a spotlight in the bathroom. I only noticed it around 9 pm but in retrospect it had probably started some time in the afternoon as I heard a drip once or twice but thought it was from the shower. I’m in S Yorkshire.

Heavy rain here but not that windy.

We’ve just had fairly heavy rain and a bit of wind. It looks awful in some places from what I’ve seen on the news

Yorkshire here. It’s not been especially windy but so much rain. Sounds like it’s stopped now but it went on for hours and hours.

Abergavenny has been hit very hard. Also just heard the river has burst its banks in Monmouth and the high street is completely flooded.
