How is Isha treating you?

[sharptoothlemonshark]

London, so the least affected, in theory - but our gates and fences are rattling madly, and a couple of rubbish bins have gone rolling down the road

Devon. Been blowy since supper time. Gone quiet now.

North East Scotland. I'm just waiting for my house to be swept up into the air, Wizard of Oz style.

Central Scotland. Wind is really quite scary, praying a tree doesn't come down on our roof (woods at back of house) and had to go weigh down trampoline etc. Village next to us has lost power in some streets. Hope everyone stays safe.

We do our best @Sodullincomparison i know I sound miserable as sin but it is good to help where we can, and we try to do so whenever possible. I hope your roof makes it through!

Omg the water in my toilet is being sucked back and forth!!

Western Northern Ireland - awful. Trees down everywhere. First time I've felt scared during a storm I think.

West Yorkshire and I can't hear anything at the moment! Usually our house sounds bad as it's very old and single glazed sash windows. Not sure why it's not bad here, it's very strange.

North West Wales. 90mph gusts according to met Office and it definitely sounds like it! Lights are flickering and can hear various bangs from the garden- I don't think all my pots will make it through

God's own country.

Dorset south west coast, nothing to report!

Midlands. Bins and garden furniture still in their normal locations. Fence blew down in storm Babet and recently replaced so I’m hoping it’ll last out few storms now 🤞

Currently sounding calm out there but the wind has been scarily loud at times.

It’s not really noticeable here near Manchester ( Bramhall/Stockport), bit windy and damp but nothing blowing around.

Mind you, after living in Berkshire when the hurricane hit in 1987, it would have to be very bad to worry me. That night I was on my own as husband was working away with two children ( age 4 and 13 months) asleep upstairs and I was 8 months pregnant. It was awful, our shed ended up in the road, we lost dozens of roof tiles and trees were crashing down all around the estate. My lovely neighbour came to sit with me as she knew I was on my own and we snoozed in the lounge in candlelight. Now that was a fun storm!

Fife, Scotland. Rain absolutely bucketing down & winds so strong I'm wondering whether the windows or roof are gonna go. Doubtful if our garage, shed or fences will make it through the night. Our little village is prone to flooding too so I'm expecting a welly day tomorrow 🙈

Nearish Canterbury SEast here.
Very windy. Trees swaying allover the place.
Moved the bins into the outside toilets as last time they blew everywhere and caused a lot of damage.
Might move the car as it’s under a tree.
Windows rattling as they’re old.
Worried about the chimney stacks too as they need repointing so hope they last. If one of them comes down it might end up in bed with us , maybe I should just move the bed a bit too.

It does sound like it’s getting worse.

Reading area. Powers been out for 2 hours now for whole village. Says they hope to restore by midday tomorrow and I hope they are right garden furniture in my living room as it was about to fly out of my garden!.

No internet and no laptop charge... Thinking about what to do for work tomorrow as I WFH!

North Essex. Doesn’t sound bad from indoors but I have triple glazing so hear very little. Neighbours wheelie bins are still standing. Nearly gave myself a hernia this morning moving two tall plant pots containing bay trees indoors from the front. Bad wind a few weeks ago blew these over and made such a mess. It’s forecast to continue here off and on until Wednesday.

Goodness !!😱

A bit lively here in the east midlands, but then I was on Florida's gulf coast when Ian hit - now that's something I don't want to repeat

No need to say it - he knows lol!

Salisbury, nothing much going on, bit of rain, blustery, but nothing exceptional, just been out to walk the hound.

I was born in Pontefract so slightly biased!!! 😂

Kent coast and it's rough as hell. Various bangs and clanging going on out there! Glad I got my washing in earlier

I do wonder how, after storms, you see massive fully grown trees blown down, pulled out at the root by the wind yet no ones parked car ever seems to move an inch in the wind. I'd have thought that some of the giant trees that I've seen blown down would weigh more than a standard sized car.

❤️🐴 Hope so.
