the storm

[SKA]

where is it? Has it been? I didn't feel a storm, they made out like it was going to be really bad!! The drama queens!!!

[whiffey]

It certainly wasn't anything like as bad as expected (South London), mind you I only ventured outside the house once, to put the rubbish out. On the ride in this morning there is plenty of evidence of tree damage.

[SKA]

was that bit of wind supposed to be the storm then? It wasn't any worse then usual up here in Manchester!!

[monkeyeyes]

SKA - It was important because 'the South' was possibly going to take the brunt ............and everything that affects the South ought to be discussed on national TV ad nauseum, after all.........

I think we're a little more hardy in t'north..........:o)

Hi SKA, you was one of the fortunate ones then. We had gusts up to 65 mph yesterday which is no fun when you have to take a little one to school in it. I think the worst affected areas are the coastal regions, particulary the south west.

[SKA]

monkeyes - I do agree the ppl in the south are a bunch of softies, I was planning on calling work saying I cant make it in today then I saw the sun and that excuss went out the window!!
Psychick- you could have given the kids the day of school!! I would be such a cool mum me thinks!!

Very disappointing, I love a good 'fire & brimstone' storm :-((

[MiniN]

bit windy and wet up north but no difference from usual! i was hoping a tree would fall down and stop me from getting to work!

damn it, even the chainsaw didn't help :o)

[funnygirl]

Hardly any damage here in North and Central London.

Just a few bins blown about!!

Very large puddles!!

that's it and they say the storm is coming back!! Wahey!

[mccfluff]

so far the wind kept waking me up sun/mon night but since then its been not great but hardly a storm, its sunny here at the mo although its supposed to get bad tonight (midlands)

[Lib.Gran]

It's been rough the last couple of nights ... South West.

We have had damage to our garden shed ... the felt on the roof has twisted and split that's about all here

[SKA]

Humph all those warnings for nothing! I was really looking forward to that storm

Har har har yah boo sucks SKA, you are going to cop it tomorrow ooooop North.

[bensmum]

It was very windy down here - kept me awake and blew a few fences and trees down. It probably wasn't as bad as we were told it would be but since the "hurricane" fiasco in 1987 I think they always err on the side of caution. We did have some pretty dramatic thunder and lightening yesterday though - shook the building at work!

[dot.hawkes]

SKA I have been in manchester today and it was windy enough, especially walking past the Kersal, (by Harvey Nicks) I was abit concerned!!

[pastafreak]

Come down to Plymouth...it has been blowing a gale since Sunday night.....just because it hasn't been bad where you are doesn't mean it hasn't happened!

[josie48]

Very windy in S,Wales today.

[FKNelectro]

its horrible over here, its been rainging nearly non-stop for about 3 days, its really windy, on sunday or monday had winds up to 80m/h apparently.
im donw near london by the way

[puss_boots]

The wind is howling at this very moment I can hear the garden chairs and wheelie bins making a run for it, my cats refuse to go out and the window in front of my puter is going to blow in at any minute.
