Bournemouth here...... am in a part of the town centre that's a bit of a wind tunnel with a light breeze.......today has just been horrendous...... my very securely chained overhead shop sign has actually swung so hard it's hit the roof above it - we're on a sort of parade of shops with a sort of covered walk way area.
I've been checking local live updates and the Guardian all day, and also the wind speed thingy that someone linked to in the storm thread on AIBU - fascinating!
Our lights have been flickering a bit - fingers crossed the power doesn't go..... we have decided to get a taxi home this evening because standing around at the bus stop really doesn't appeal - I actually think it's much worse than last weekend.
The irony is this area is going to be regenerated and made pedestrianised with open air spaces for local workers to eat their lunch and for outside events etc - I reckon even on a mild day it'll be quite challenging because of our position not far from the coast...... heaven only knows what it will be like in this sort of weather!!!!
