I'm sorry for starting this when we still have 200 posts to go, but I really should sleep and I'm worried that the previous thread will fill up. Here it is --> www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weather/4481220-Storm-Eunice please fill it, before using this one.

Thank you x

Good luck everyone. Amber zone here but hankering down for tomorrow

[Fordian]

Thanks. Will be interesting to see if this one is a squib or catastrophic. Hoping 'a bit exciting but with no deaths', myself.

It’s very calm here - seems at odds with the red warning. We shall see what morning brings!

[Cheekypeach]

I’m on the Devon south coast, and things seem quite calm at the moment. Certainly nothing I would notice if I didn’t know there was a weather warning. What’s it like where you all are?

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

eep! not yet! Here this one isnt filled yet --> www.mumsnet.com/Talk/weather/4481220-Storm-Eunice

Surrey- still and calm here. I've shelved plans to ride my horse tomorrow morning as I'm choosing life, but we are supposed to be hacking tomorrow afternoon. Can't see that happening. Might be a bit too exciting.

Rural West Sussex here and we get power cuts regularly so I'm dreading tomorrow with the pile of work I need to do. We're charging all devices but without Wi-Fi they aren't going to be much use. Mobile signals fairly non existent too. Hold onto your hats everyone.

North Wales, all schools shut, main bridges closed and no trains running tomorrow. Currently raining but no wind.....yet.

Few hours to go yet it's not due to ramp up until very early morning. Calm before the storm

We are in red zone from 5 or 7 but I've just been out to try and make stuff safer and it's really calm, so weird.
Dd,s primary school and the one I work in are both still open despite nearly all.other schools closed which seems silly and I'm slightly worried.

Definitely feels like ‘the calm before the storm’ in Worcestershire currently. Some very light drizzle, no wind at all.

West Wales here. Rain has started but has been calm up until now. Feels odd knowing what is to come. Hoping it’s not as bad as forecast.

All plans have been cancelled; we closed the offices and WFH. Have supplies and have downloaded some movies in case of electricity outage.

Ah just saw it’s due to hit the SW around 7am.

Yikes! Exciting, but as pp said obvs as long as no deaths...

[Melroses]

Is that because it is going anti-clockwise as opposed to an anti-cyclone which goes clockwise ? 😵

Derbyshire here! Still and silent currently. Bins remain upright. Will be up all night with newborn DS and bought some hot cross buns and hot chocolate for tomorrow as certainly not venturing out! Stay safe all.

[Ocsetldil]

A cyclone??

[colouringindoors]

Let's be careful out there...

[glastogal]

Most of the storm systems that pass through the uk are cyclones, the label itself isn't uncommon, so don't be alarmed by the use of that word especially.

This does look like a grim storm though, I live just outside the red warning zone and have been securing what I can. All the bins and garden furniture is in the garage. 🤞 the solar panels stay put!
