Wind warnings for most of us 2/3 January

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

met office be prepared warnings nothing too major for most, though some western and southern coastal areas could have quite a lively night tomorrow night.

looks like an isolated tornado may be possible from the squall line after all. If anyone in the Se gets an interesting pattern of damage evident, please can you pm me.

Just had to run into my driveway and rescue rubbish as my recycling bin fell over! Ugh. Now can't sleep!

sleep is for wimps

I might not be saying that when I'm back at work tomorrow am.

Oh the wind is back! I have never heard it so loud. Def no chance of sleep

( and in other news, Trump is threatening nuclear war against North Korea...)

yes, in the most willy waving method possible - my red button is bigger than your red button.... ffs.

I’m still up. Bloody wind has picked up again. Thank goodness I don’t have work tomorrow.

Oh never mind, the nuclear winter will end us all anyway

ok, third time lucky in attempting sleep. wish me luck!

I’m going to try sleep again, sleep well OYBBK!

Wow, it has just woken me up.

Its so Loud, i have never heard wind like it i thought the house was going to fall in.

Listening to the wind.

We have lost power once but only briefly.
Got the emergency oxygen tanks ready.

Hurry up the day of light!

Still pretty windy but no sound from the dog downstairs so am assuming all ok. .

Ah, a sound like a train approaching outside,

Still v. Windy here, I think we are putting off our journey today.

Latest updates from the metoffice and the BBC.

Not too bad here (Leicester) Blowy with the odd gust. I heard the letter box open and close against the front door a few minutes ago!

Trees down and some flooding here already. Am getting dh to take
The girls tomschool as so
Many back roads closed

Think that xcweather wind observation page has had a bit of a blip ~ it's just recorded a 550mph gust at Lands End Airport!

lol!! close pass by, by a jet engine?

Well I am regretting my flippancy yesterday :o I'm in the north east and understand we didn't even have the worst of it

ah, don't be regretting it, it was a relief that someone had actually noticed the thread. I was wondering if I should start streaking naked across the boards!

Still windy here. Noisy overnight with the wind in the chimney. Our trampoline is on it's side - the trees at the bottom of the garden stopped it going further.

Cumbria here. Flooded round the coast but we are not so bad. Doesn’t feel that windy —by our standards—

It woke my husband in the night at 2am sounding like a train down the street. A fence is leaning but otherwise no damage.

A few trees down around here and fences of course, but nothing structural.

Well I'm pleased I still have my trampoline weighed down with blocks. Eleanor was much worse than Ophelia, our power was out until 10am. Lots of trees down in the area and some structural damage reported.
Gusts of 90mph in the worst hit places.

It's been awful here on the SW coast. I believe we're also expecting further storms soon
