Storm on

Two lots of blue flashing lights have just whizzed past my window. That's not unusually here though. There'll have been another fight in the club up the road.

 

All kicking off a bit early isn't it Clue?

 

Thanks Marley,its not too bad here,ive just been to the shop but my cousin has had his car blown off the driveway onto the road in manchester
Its worrying knowing or not knowing what folk are going through,i heard the manchester fire dept have called in off duty staff as they have 40 active incidents..which im sure will go up x

 

Downed trees & branches locally, the A515 is closed up near Buxton as a lorry has blown over. Really hope everyone is ok

 

It got quite wild and wet here this afternoon. Great fun at work, cutting and clearing up tree branches in gale force winds and horizontal rain was quite 'interesting' for a while.
Still at least we didn't have any trouble keeping the bonfire going with all that wind.

The strong winds meant that the Orwell Bridge was closed for several hours, which is on my normal route home. Whenever this happens, the whole area virtually grinds to a halt. So I had to take the scenic route (along with many others), meaning a journey which I usually complete in about half an hour took 70 minutes today.

Five minutes after I got home they re-opened it.

 

That's a bother Trunky

Several trees down here and a wall to put back in place tomorrow.

 

There's rather a lot of banging and crashing going on out there but i'm not going out to find out what it is
Oooo and there's waves in the loo.....

 

Same here Loli, what's the toilet bit all about? Mine's doing it too.

 

Is the tide going in or out?

 

Just got home from work, 6 trees down in a 5 mile drive,
still really windy, lights flashed a few times at work, don't think get much sleep tonight

 

Air pressure loli and not a surfing rat xx

 

Beats me Nick....Did you know it was going to be this bad up here? thought we were going to get away with it
