Sorry if I'm mistaken starting this thread, Good Morning all, storm Katie is troubling a lot of the country but we are lucky in Lancashire, only sunshine and showers and light winds.
Big family gathering for me today.

katie struck in the very early hours here in dorset - torrential wind and rain trying to get in my bedroom with me!! not a lot of sleep but no electricity cuts.
thankfully all is now a lot calmer and the sun is out although it's a bit windy.
no damage done unless you count the bird table being blown down [thankfully the metal bird feeder is still up and functioning].
tree down on the way to take my guy to work in the new forest this morning so we had to go the long way around - hope they [whoever they are] manage to clear it away before i go and get him back this evening [he's a head chef and is very tired after four full on days]. don't want wind and rain tonight please!!!

Interested to hear what the weather is like in Kent Treecycler. It's where we are from. But at present we are staying with our son ( in Barbados) where we have not been troubled by Storm Katie!!!! Very sorry to hear from our friends saying how the weather is messing up Easter plans.

My grandchildrens large trampoline was blown over a 6ft high brick wall and landed upright in the middle of the road. Luckily missed parked cars and neighbours windows.

Mid-afternoon-ish here in South Bucks, and we've had a sun/cloud sort of day after a very wet and windy night; quite a lot of twigs and bigger bits of tree on the large swathe of green which we like to call a lawn and various pots have rearranged themselves. Yesterday was very wild and woolly with a mix of torrential rain, hail, thunder and brilliant sunshine.

Torrential rain here in South Yorks first thing - we have a leaking window and it got through that plus rumbles of thunder yesterday evening but been up to County Durham today and it was fine all day albeit a bit windy and cold. Fine again here now. Bet its beautiful tomorrow when we're back at work!

I suggest today's Good Morning thread be renamed "What Katie Did" grin

Lots of posts today, nothing like the good old topic of the British weather to get us going. Hope everyone is safe and the expense of repairs is not too terrible flowers.
Tallula2 hope to hear from you again on the good morning thread. On other threads too of course.

Very windy through the night, woke up to snow, then the rain and winds but finally this afternoon a bit of sun and light winds. Hope everyone had a great day.

Here in SW London 2 panels of our fence blew down , narrowly missed killing next door's rabbit. Did serious damage to the hutch though.

High up on the downs here in Kent - only just got internet back after "Katie" Yesterday the village cut off by fallen trees, power outage during the morning, and fair bit of damage in the garden . Time now for a clean up hmm
