To hate heavy winds and rain all night.
I can't sleep.
I dislike windy weather more than anything else. Apart from extreme heatwaves...

I'm scared of storms also.

It woke me up and now I can’t get back to sleep 🙄
I don’t mind most storms, there’s something cosy about being safe and warm in bed whilst it’s blowing a hoolie outside.

I love it. The atmosphere, the privacy, the life giving precipitation. We'd all be long dead without rain.

Aquarius1234 · 29/12/2022 02:39

I hate the feeling that stuff will fall down.

Whats with the constant 40 miles per hour winds.
Why can't be just have 4 / 5 degree winter calm weather for 2 months.

It’s not that often that there’s much damage, a few branches maybe? It must be very difficult for you, 🤗

I love a good storm and being warm in bed while one rages outside is one of the best things ever!

Not at all. But I enjoy being out in all weathers too. Stormy dog walks are. exhilarating and I throughly enjoy being outside all day when it’s freezing/pissing down/windy - the hardest weather to be outside all day in is the heat.

Same here.

OP, what are you afraid will happen?

Aquarius1234 · 29/12/2022 02:56

A leak or something. Tiles coming off roof. Bins falling down. Fence etc

I never used to care. It's not being In control of bad things happening.

I sort of like that idea, just find it uncomfortable thinking hats gonna come off or I'll trip over lol

I understand.

Just know that if it happens you can sort it.

BootifulLoser · 29/12/2022 03:07

I love a rainy night

stopthebarking · 29/12/2022 03:08

If something can be done to prevent potential damage (removing dead limbs from overhanging trees, securing loose items outdoors), resolve to do so before the next windy spell. For the time being, I'd put on some soothing sounds or calming music and try to forget the wind. (Except that I like windy nights...)

Good advice.

Sometimes they can unnerve me. Not so much in our home, but in one of our family members home. They have huge old trees towering around their house, all around and it is an old house. I find it hard to fall asleep there when it is stormy thinking one of the trees could go down and through the roof. Otherwise we kind of enjoy storms.

hattie43 · 29/12/2022 06:12

I hate it , am surrounded by trees and always worry one will come down .

Oysterbabe · 29/12/2022 06:25

I love it. I find it so relaxing listening to the rain in bed.
