the wind is being unreasonable

[WeirdArchitecture]

wtf, i am in the north west, few hours back the wind picked up like nothing i have heard in years. I tis FIERCE!

Anyone else experiencing it?

It is extremely powerful and quite awe inspiring. The noise is seriously dark and creepy. Went outside and was almost taken off my feet. Trees bent double, howling, etc.

Yes, Blackpool here. Been terrible all day.

NE here. Lights have flickered a couple of times and the internet signal keeps dropping. Hoping we don't get a power cut...

Yep, Lancashire here and the wind is definitely BU. Its winding in circles!

SW Scotland here, blowing a hoolie so wouldn't like to be on the east coast just now!
Definitely beats Hurricane Bawbag anyway

YABU I am a windmill and it's very necessary and reasonable. I'm also NW. Need to take the dog out later which I'm dreading as it's whipping up round here and I'm picturing us disappearing into the sky like in the Wizard of Oz.

I was out walking my daughter's dog when the weather suddenly became like this. The dog was called Toto.

Bawbag is indeed the Scottish version of ballbag.

West of Scotland, central area, windy here but not dangerous as yet. No flying roof tiles or anything as far as I can see. Thankfully.

Stay safe everyone.

Just seen on the local Facebook page a tree has blown down on the main road in the village thankfully I don’t have to go that way ds work is in the opposite direction. Ds and dh are doing a driving experience tomorrow morning hope there is somewhere warm for me to watch not freezing my bits off by the track

I'm hunkered down in my caravan on Anglesey listening to the wind howling outside. It was a lovely morning when I left home in Lancs this morning and I had a good drive here.
Apparently the storm will be at it's height here between midnight and 3 am.
DH is supposed to be joining me tomorrow morning but he's going to see how the weather is before setting off.

@Damnyoureyes

It’s raging outside my house. I’m NW too.

Same here. I've come upstairs and opened the curtains to watch it.

@WeirdArchitecture

bawbag?

Totally normal way to describe a storm.

Lancashire here. I'm half convinced my tree will come down in the night through my bedroom and kill me I've already had to chase my bins around the garden

North Devon coast here, sea facing, north facing house, very noisy out there! Wind hurled rain so hard at my sash windows that it bounced in through various invisible gaps! Had a weird power outage earlier with partial power cuts to random lights, boiler not firing up, cooker display turning off and on, followed by everything going off and then minutes later on again! Bit weird and spooky
🌬🌬🌬🌬

NW too. I'm in the shed having a fag, and im too scared to go back in

NW too, sitting in the car waiting for DH. to collect his takeaway. The car is rocking. And not in a good way.

Nice and quiet in Dorset

Hope everyone stays safe and it isn't too rough.

North West here, I can hear it battering the house and howling down the chimney.
We are under a yellow warning so god knows how the people in the red zone feel.
It’s the worst i’ve heard it in a long time.

NE here, wind sounds terrible. My bedroom is is the loft and I'm seriously thinking about sleeping downstairs tonight. It's also been sleeting and it's so damn cold.

I'm in Derbyshire and we have nothing at all. Come here, we're quiet as anything. It's not even raining.

I'm cuddled up on the sofa with dd bowl of BBQ Beef hula-hoops and a large glass of wine. I can hear the wind howling outside.

Ne england...bloody wild here and a covering of snow as well. Am in bed with hottie bottle snuggled up with one of the cats after a long, hard day

Also slightly worried about my parent's car which is parked at mine - under a whopping great tree. I don't have any keys for it and my dad refused to move it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's not a Skoda pancake in the morning 🤞🤞

I’m in W Yorks and it’s bad, not as bad as proper up north.
However I’m moving house tomorrow and I am absolutely not looking forward to shifting boxes in the 50mph winds and snow/sleet that is forecast!

That’s why there is a red weather warning, first since about 2018 I think all down the eastern Scotland coast to past Newcastle

Good old Storm Arwen

Can’t believe it’s been nearly 10 years! The tweets were legendary, but it’s probably most famous for one of the most dramatic moments ever caught on camera:
