Possible severe gales - Part 2

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

:) in case I'm not back by the time the other one fills up.

6 years in this house and I've never heard the wind howling through the front door and coming down the chimney flue to the wood burner the way it is now. Crumpets and tea on the go

West here!! Very windy! Dh has to go to work!!

Sorry i cant remember!

Oybbk. :-(

Meant heathrow

Crikey it's getting really quite blowy now.

Sussex....large tree fallen towards my neighbours house, missing his van and the top of the tree just touching the front door! Doesn't look to be any major damage and everyone is ok...phew
Still extremely gusty here, but the torrential rain stopped.

Well, it is definitely getting windier especially at the back facing west and noisier. and not even 7am yet.

On days like this I am glad my stepdad is a tree surgeon. We've had a close shave here (Surrey) , most of a large tree has come down in our garden but landed across the patio & garden - another foot or so to the right and it would have come into our bedroom window.

My flat overlooks a dock just off the Thames. Those poor people on their houseboats - the waves are going over them.

The dock looks like the sea and the poor ducks are struggling.

N Bucks again, horrible noise. Render whipped off next door's house and thrown into our garden.

East Kent here. It's very windy, but no rain (at the moment).

Very windy in south east!

Slightly breezy with a bit of drizzle in the West Midlands. I'm just about to leave for a our long drive to work so I hope it stays reasonable.

A pair of birds just flew away from the trees opposite me to find a more stable roost, I suppose

There are you in Norfolk Iactually?

We are in Wells next the Sea andd it's lashing down here.

arse there's a tree just come down across the road right outside my house, I'm at a cross roads, who do I alert (non emergency police not picking up and there's a five minute wait!)?

I ensvision lots of accidents as drivers tend to come careering down in all three directions.

i'm actually quite scared. In London and opposite a building site, and there's bits flying off it all over the place. I'm shaking now. People still walking around and cars on the roads though.

Luton: Just starting to go from quite windy to very windy here. I'm glad I laid my bird tables down and behind a wall, the neighbours around haven't and there is a real mess of garden furniture inc gazebos and washing lines scattered about in their gardens. I have ~just~ put my bins out for collection and I'm keeping my eye on them, the lorry just came to collect glass so they are running at the moment (although for how long I don't know).

Fuzzy look on your local councils webpage, ours has a number to report.

Mid Kent - wind picking up and now very strong gusts and doors, windows and roof all creaking and rattling. And the power has been off for about half an hour, what a bore!
Chickens all safely tucked up in the garage so no worries there, cat complaining bitterly as she wants to go out (not a chance!), and I am watching the storm from under my duvet! Fingers crossed it passes quickly for everyone with minimal damage!

Lumpy space, just south of the fine city! I'm jumping in the shower and leaving in about 40 minutes! Hopefully I'll get away with it! I hear that you will be worse off. Batten down the hatches!

Very windy in NW Kent. Branches down in the park and not sure my garden fence is going to hold out. No rain though. Not sure if this is it though, news says the worst will be 8-1am

LadyCelia - thank god for your step father!!

Sharpkat - sod the storm... I'm very envious of your location!!!

Jill - sounds nasty!!

It's times like this we need a roll call - as those badly hit probably aren't going to be able to let us know :(

fuzzy our council website had put up a link to report fallen trees and other hazards. You could try them?

The wind kept waking me up in the night but I haven't looked outside yet. I didn't hear any crashing anyway......
