Yeah looks a bad one tomorrow. Don’t often get amber warnings in my location.
I’ll have to pin my frenchies ears back or he’ll take off when he goes out for a slash!

That’s my plan. Went to the gym today instead. Did all outside jobs too. Have braced one of our weaker gates and have weighted the bin lids down.
Looks like my hometown back in Wales is going to get hammered.

Hmm, the GF was planning to drive from Essex to Notts tomorrow. Might be wise to hold off until Monday if the winds are that bad.

We have a level 2 Estofex warning in place for parts of the UK.
Precipitation for the early hours and tomorrow is incredibly, nevermind the wind gust speeds someplaces are going to be swimming.

the wind dosnt seem too bad yet ,its like a strong but steady one ,not the gusty type that blows bins everywhere (stop me if i get too technical)
While they aren't the fastest of wind speeds there is a lot of steady power behind them here - moving heavy stuff around with ease in the garden be surprised if this doesn't bring down a few trees.

Leicestershire. Wind gusts have been building since yesterday evening. It looks pretty antisocial
out there at the moment.

Already had a fence panel down, was out at 7am in my pyjamas putting it back up! 
Certainly think we're going to see some trees down in the area.

My neighbours have left out lots of loose things. They’re going to have fun...
2 fence panels down (though they were on their way out from the last lot of wind), lost half the roof on our Pagoda style thingy and lots of rubbish blown in. Also our neighbour have a long hedge parallel with the wall between us which is sheltered in theory from the wind by the wall but for some reason has been blown to an angle.

As will you if they start smacking against your windows...
no it doesnt

Lots of dead wood fallen out of the trees here, but they are weathering it well without their leaves.
I did laugh to myself when I heard a family with a small kid walking through a park that has loads of trees. People really are morons. Sure, nothing will ever happen to you.
