Where is this storm then?

[malificent7]

So i am in Somerset and it is a little bit windy. Not carnage yet. Dd is at home and I've decided not to go in to work . I have done the right thing havn't i?

Definitely picking up in Kent! We’ve got fence panels flapping about all over the place. DH keeps going out to try and secure stuff and is getting shirty because I’m not. I’m not going out in it, if stuff breaks it breaks and we’ll fix it later. I’m trying to work! 🙄

Fence panel just snapped in two in our garden here in Essex.

Essex here and very windy. Bins over, rotary washing line on ground, trees are wild! At least it’s not raining anymore

Mad on the East / West Sussex border. Sunshine and still one minute then goes dark and wind battering the house the next.

@CaveMum

65k people watching the Big Jet TV link right now - most of them Mners I'm sure!

I thought that too! 😆

Cows still in cow clump. Seem to be rotating as though in a vortex. Not sure if it’s intentional.

Horses freaking out. I’m worried about them but know they’re better out than in.

Sheep largely unaffected.

One tree down. Daffodils all down. Bins gone.

Addicted to Big Jet TV.

We've just had 30 mins of something quite scary, making the house shake, but it's much calmer again now.

A huge gust made the house shake for a second just now. Scary.

Just had to fix the side of my shed, panel came off. Dogs were outside and wouldn't come in, until a gust of wind blew them.

South Walesvery windy now, can see lots of fences down

Neighbours fence panels have just crushed all my new plants

It’s as bad as the storm in ‘88 here.

Nice to see fellow Northants person! It’s blustery but waiting for it to get really bad...sorry about the damage though x

Well the BBC are insisting its 68mph winds here. Funny that as there is barely a breeze. Been calm all day so far. But they never get it right in my area. (Stoke)

Had to go out and put some rubbish in the bin that was flying about everywhere.
The wind is bad , but the buses are still running and people out walking or even running about around in it
Roads seem a bit quieter , but many are still working from home around here.

So it’s going a bit crazy in Swansea now. Once fence panel down and I imagine more on the way 😤

It’s as bad as the storm in ‘88 here.

Where? (Presumably not Malibu!)

I've just watched a plane abort a landing on that link and I feel physically sick.

Dorset/Hampshire borders and it’s quite bad here. One fence panel down and our guttering is making a hell of a noise. Some trees down locally too. Sun keeps popping out and it goes quiet - then it starts again.

I'm in Berkshire and it feels like the worst is over, but I know nothing haha!

I imagine the met office are feeling slightly sheepish today

Stupid post of the Day award goes to ....

I spoke too soon.

Dorset here (sounds like Eurovision, Dorset calling!) 😂

Fencing has come loose from the post and the only thing holding it up is the bush. Neighbours’ neighbours fence has snapped.

My neighbour just went running down the street after his bin lid and the wind is rumbling all around the house.

Onairjunkie

your cows posts are making me laugh.
Interesting fact for you. When the penguins huddle at the south pole, The ones in the middle move out to the edge because they get too hot!

I live in a very windy spot and it’s quite bad but not really much worse than it was on Wednesday to be honest, or at the start of Feb. I do think they’ve slightly over-egged it.

(South-West)

East Midlands.

It’s really picking up here now. I’m putting everything back on charge now, whilst I can!

In Northants too. We keep getting the odd big gust
