How blowy isa it out your way?

all calm here

Extremely windy here on the south coast. We’re in bed and can hear the wind really blowing hard. It is raining too and has been since early evening.

Quiet and dry here in Cornwall so far. It's supposed to hit 65mph at 0300 but the forecast is so often wrong that I'll believe it when I hear it. My grandson will set off on his 20-minute walk to school in the morning in a 45 mph wind, supposedly.

Having a few days in S Somerset with the family and it’s been pretty wild!
It seems to have eased just now and the forecast suggests a “window” until about 8 tomorrow morning (still raining though ) when it all kicks off again.

Very blowy here on south coast near Brighton. I am hoping the schools won’t suddenly decide to close as DD has Covid and I will have to entertain/keep the peace between DGDs 😨

All is calm and still here. We are supposed to be going out for lunch tomorrow. We will see what the day is like when we wake up. According to the local weather forecast, it isn't going to be too bad.

Scary really scary on east coast I just heard glass shattering and doors are banging in the distance just been round the house shutting windows and making sure my doors are all shut
I ve put the radio on so it covers the noises up a bit but it’s not doing much good Just heard something else crash outside my house sounded metallic
Don’t think I ll get much sleep tonight
Stay safe everyone

Should have said our wind is between 50 and 60mph at moment 😱

That sounds really scary Bluebelle I hope you are ok

Wet here in Bristol, but I haven’t noticed any wind yet.

I'm on the NW coast of England and it's all serene. We often get ferocious winds but not this time.

Pretty bad in Normandy. Waiting to see if the greenhouse has survived.

Well I ve slept very little went downstairs in the night and my conservatory floor is soaking, it’s old so guess there’s a leak somewhere The wind sounds like how it was when I was in a hurricane the trees are bent nearly double, thank goodness I had my eucalyptus trees cut down a few years back, as they were huge and so close to my house
It seems to be south and east that is effected I m east coast I can hear the sea from my house it’s the wildest storm I ve been in for a long time
Things always seem worse at night don’t they it ll soon be lighter

Very wet again here in Leicestershire but not excessively windy. Many areas of land still soaked from two weeks ago. G

I was going on to say golf club shut but if that's all we have to worry about then we are thankful. Just have to put boots on and go for a walk.

Just worrying about our holiday home in Normandy, halfway up the Cotentin penninsula. It is well inland but...........

We are due to visit next week and have neighbours and a concierge who will let us know if anything disastrous has happened.

The Manche is still on Alerte Rouge. The wind in Granville peaked at 170kph last night. 🤞for you.

Thank you Mamie. I hope you have not been affected too badly.

Touch wood even the greenhouse is ok! Our maximum wind seems to have been 110 kmh.

Awful.
Gusts are apparently 57 mph.

I imagine rooves will suffer, and burst rivers.

The car broke down yesterday.
I will write a thread at some point.

The one day I was due to go out to a concert. Don’t know whether I’ll go or not. Will wait to see what the wind and the trains are doing later.

We are in the throes of it here in the CI my goodness it is serious.
Family all safe but sharing the footage from friends etc the island is in a mess.
