Anyone else being battered by this storm?

We are barely in the yellow warning, but this is much worse than previous amber or red storms. I've seen at least 8 local houses on fb with their roof or gable ends gone and quite a few commercial warehouse type properties destroyed. Lots of trees down blocking roads and some flooding. It's still wild outside and has been since lunchtime!

Is this very localised and/or has the met office failed badly here??

In Cheshire and it has hit us hard. I’ve never known so many trees come down in a storm.

not heard much here in Edinburgh but went to put bins out and a box i had outside had blown away and a notice on my door had came off

North west is awful. Wheelie bins flying around the streets with such force that it sounds like loud thunder. Cables connected to roofs coming down etc.

South east, we had amber warnings i think but its felt like overkill, it just rained heavily.

Lancashire and it’s not great. Neighbours have lost their entire fence and gate

Not bad here in the NW. Windy and rainy as fuck but I've not heard of anything local.

I was thinking its been a storm in a teacup, feeling very sorry now for those with such property damage!

It's the same one that came through Portugal yesterday I think? We have quite a bit of damage to deal with on our house in the aftermath.

Not battered, but loads of rain - which we still need to fill the reservoirs.

I'm trying to get to sleep so may not reply till morning, unless the roof blows off 😵 hope it dies down soon.

We are in more or less the same place if the blue dot on your map is anything to go by. It's been grim all day.

I'm lying in bed a bit scared. It's really noisy outside and I'm almost waiting for a big crash or something to break.

HotSteppa · 15/11/2025 00:31

Yes! And we currently only have half a roof as loft extension underway! I'm lying awake listening to it flapping and hoping to while thing stays put till the morning. Forecast says should die down in next couple of hours 🤞
