He’s been!! Storm Darragh brought me…….

[MerryLiftMass]

Storm Darragh has been and he has brought me….. a rattan footstool, presumably belonging to one of my neighbours.

He is trying his best to take our trampoline to give to someone else.

Has anyone had any nice gifts courtesy of Darragh?

I have my neighbours broken end caps from their roof and it's decided to try and rip the roof off my conservatory ... it's weighed down with paving slabs and I'm praying it holds.

But it's buggered ... I feel like crying, this weather makes me feel sick. 🤢 not told DH yet as he's at work and doesn't need the stress...

Left a wreath but took ours, also left 2 carrier bags and a lot of loose recycling bits. Next door lost their trampoline but appear to of gained a large piece of tarpaulin sheeting.

Every time we are forecast windy weather there is a large tree i would love to be blow down, but no, it survives for another day.

We live in a listed building, so the windows are a bit ropey. Never mind, it doesn't happen that often. Every few years there'll be a storm that rains for long enough onto that window. Then it's time for some old towels and keep an eye on it. Don't know why I missed it today till I heard it dripping onto the floor 😡

I’m here for the photos! (Of the silly things, not damage).

Brought a tree down near me and with it power to a good chunk of this side of our small town. I have heat from a wood burner and gas rings for water so will be ok, rest of family away at in-laws till tomorrow.

He bought me a garden chair from next door and a bag that used to contain horse feed.

Ooh no! Yuck!!

He's brought me two power cuts thus far. The power is back on but the lights keep flickering ominously.

What appears to be some boy's (deflated) punching bag.

Husband is stressing about his fence blowing away - he only assembled and built it last month. It's holding firm so far!

It's to stop people pinching them you can peel a sticker off.

Someone in my village was killed by a falling tree. So not much to joke about really.

My TV signal is on the blink so I think its rattling the TV aerial.

I have friends in Midwest USA who had a tornado pass close to their house & when they were tidying up after they found it had deposited a Twister mat.

That is absolutely tragic, sorry .

I do think it is ok when we are probably all stuck at home miserable to share a bit of humour. That does not take away from the seriousness of the situation.

Our NDN's recently acquired a second hand (rather well loved) trampoline, that's now balancing precariously on the very expensive fence we put in a couple of years ago. DH is doing a good impression of a 90 year old in a nursing home today and won't even go outside to try to sort it. He may be Darragh's next victim if storms can be held accountable for burying annoying people under the patio...........

Last storm took my plastic box from one side of the garden to the other.

For some reason this one has brought it back.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I didn’t mean any offence with the thread.

@MerryLiftMass nobody thinks you set out to make light of tragedies that happened x

Shit happens - look at Carolina! - we are lucky and our life goes on and humour sometimes helps.

Sorry for your loss but. Anyway but on a brighter note - thought I had escaped the worst but just found a 6x 2 feet piece of glass off the greenhouse had flew about 30 feet through the air and smashed on the lawn - must have been a sight to see! So the storm actually brought me a hole in the roof.

Storm Darragh has been generous with my property and given my fence to my neighbours.

The storm gave and took. A pair of someone's sunglasses and half my shed roof covering.

It briefly brought our wheelie bin to life. DD and I saw it stagger drunkenly down the drive, before falling over. It was in a recessed area, a steep step down from the drive, so goodness knows how it got out.

He brought us neighbour’s fence panel that he then proceeded to beat to shit out of trying to get it out of our garden, then fetched someone’s parasol and smashed our everlite conservatory roof with it. Fucker

He's eventually brought me..... some confetti which was originally my recycling bin lid (not sure how, but nothing else seems to have moved at all?!)
