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.

@Belle716383 the local weather forecast at 6.30pm said between midnight and 3am ish and will continue with heavy rain and possibly snow in the higher areas of the Cotswolds tomorrow. Just waiting for the next update in the next 10min.

I'd say it's getting slowly but steadily worse here in Cheshire

North Wales here. Everyone’s lost there trampolines, trees and hanging on by a thread and I think we will all be searching for our wheelie bins tomorrow!

Fylde coast here, I've put a brick on top of each of my bins Wink

From right next to the beach and a shit ton of sand travelled onto our driveway! Cleveleys/Fleetwood here

SE here. All I know is the wind is bloody freezing. I mean it’s November so to be expected but it’s always a shock when it’s that cold.

I feel sorry for farmers. Out it as we speak.

GreekOlive · 26/11/2021 22:51

NW coast here. I’m a bit scared to be honest. I hope I sleep through it.
I hope everyone posting here is safe tonight. Tragic news about the man in Northern Ireland. Sad

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 26/11/2021 22:54

Wales - raging but normal for time of year!

Hillary17 · 26/11/2021 22:54

Genuinely it’s horrendous. The contents of a skip on our road is whirling in the air like Wizard of Oz!

Joystir59 · 26/11/2021 22:54

North yorks coast here and it's so far very calm. Meant to be ramping up in the early hours.

BitchIAmFromChicago · 26/11/2021 22:55

Flight radar is looking interesting now with flights attempting to land at Manchester!

Mooloolabababy · 26/11/2021 22:55

Yep, East Midlands here, not sure how much sleep I'll get tonight as all I can hear is the wind whistling through my old, poorly sealed windows.
Worried I'll wake up to my chimney on the roof of my car tomorrow Shock

LoveGoldberg · 26/11/2021 22:55

so glad i bought that ankle length puffer coat now. was undecided before

Why, do you have a life long dream of being a human kite? That is what would happen if you tried going out round here at the moment!

Anordinarymum · 26/11/2021 22:55

Where I live in North Leeds we usually have nothing to report - ever.

Well....... my bins went over tonight and I can only say thank the Lord they were emptied this morning or there would have been rubbish everywhere.

I had to move them behind a gate and nearly got blown over.
My two bay trees which sit at either side of my front door were blown over and I have lost a fence panel at the back.

It is a bit scary because nothing like this has ever happened before and I am waiting for the next thing........

HarrietOh · 26/11/2021 22:58

In the red zone here and due to get even worse!

Crispynoodle · 26/11/2021 22:58

Hate to tell you all but I'm in the NW of Northern Ireland and it's getting worse, a right proper storm and it's coming your way batten down the hatches

EwwSprouts · 26/11/2021 23:00

East Yorks. Wind not bad but proper snow settling.

Ihaveroyallyscrewedup · 26/11/2021 23:01

Central Scotland here and currently listening to smash after smash as the tiles come off my roof, a friend has a tree in her garden and another had to avoid a few fallen trees driving home from work.

Wild in the NW now.

Just to be clear the friend with the tree in her garden shouldn’t have a tree in her garden 🤣
