Well, its cloudy and sunny here now, has been for the last half hour or so. Winds calmed down a lot too.

Womder if this is the calm before the next storm :o))

I either slept through it or it hasnt hit as predicted. My wall is still standing and garden is as I left it. Looking at trees wind is no higher than normal and we have patches of blue sky.

Very blustery in Norwich right now, but this is only the front that's bringing the storms, the actual storm itself is apparently starting to hit the west about now.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

No wind though:0)
The biggest storm is due to Spurs thrashing us at the moment:0((

Well its clouded right over here in harlow, and we have had a couple of light short showers.

Dreading tomorrow, if its too awful & we get warned to stay indoors Im going to break all my rules 7 keep kyle home from school (He has a 30-40 min walk to school)

Hopefully I wont need to go to that drastic length.

Ever since Michael Fish embarrassed himself in October 87, the Beeb don't wanna get caught out again.

Anything more than a puff of wind, its a gale warning. Any more than an hour of rain, a flood warning!

I had to travel home from school by train over a viaduct during the 87 storm with the train swaying from side to side. After that, I'm not concerned about much!!!!

****UPDATE just looked at the other storm thread which says exactly what I just did :-)

Blue sky the other side of Bristol and bright skies, but the clouds are rolling in. I think I need to stop the h***ew**k and nip down to Asda and get things in so there is food when he arrives home.

Then out to Garden and see what can be put in the shed and what can be tied down.

I lost a 6+ foot patio heater last weekend and the wind wasnt as bad as its planned this weekend.
