Winter 2019/2020

[Rroff]

Lots of dead wood fallen out of the trees here, but they are weathering it well without their leaves.

Hadn't thought of that angle - it certainly is making a difference.

Doesn't seem bad here at all so far. Don't see what all the fuss is about

The last really bad storm I can remember was way back in about 1987

 

[moon man]

wind has definitely picked up and 78mph now forecast ,i think its helping the wind is blowing past the house down the valley rather than at it ,got hedges and no fences to worry about and need a new shed anyway if that disintegrates

Just checked the local fb group, a fair few trees across local roads. A few tiles missing. Pretty standard.

Power keeps tripping off here in LE11 area. Had two notifications from my Synology and heard the APC UPS trip out.

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.

Always look up when walking through the woods after a storm as there will be a bunch of “hangers” sitting up on the stronger branches waiting for the next good gust to fetch them down.

Patio is under 3cm of water garden slopes towards house and the wind has flattened my old shed . The wind is whistling down the Mersey river

 

[beachBOYken]

Few things fallen over in garden and building site across road has had its advertising boards ripped from wall. The gusts are extremely strong on occasions here.

Neighbour has lost his Monkey puzzle tree and a fence panel.

Our jerry built 1972 bungalow is leaking like a sieve - There are no lintels above the windows and after three window changes the damp membrane above windows is a bit trashed so water is being blown through onto the inside and running out top of window frame. - Thank god for giant sized car cleaning towels.

It can't be too bad as the electric hasn't flickered yet.

Getting tons of rain coming down now - we were supposed to be on the edge of it so if this is the edge of it I hate to think how much some are getting.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Not much rain in London yet.

 

[BriT]

Had a big thunder clap here, scared the crap out of me.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The sideways monsoon rain has arrived. Wouldn’t fancy driving in that.

A few hours of that, no wonder places have flooded.

Was windy yesterday evening and overnight but barely a breeze here this morning in Newcastle, fair bit of rain though.

 

[Uther]

A friend in Wales had a huge tree come crashing down from a neighbours garden that just missed his house! They are feeling quite lucky this morning.

 

[Rroff]

Can hear someone cutting up a probably fallen tree somewhere nearby but can't see it - well that is the only reason we can imagine someone is going nuts with a chainsaw in this weather :s

 

[chaparral]

My Gazbo in my garden is still in one piece so far and haven't blow away yet

I should have taken the cover off it yesterday but I forgot

 

[cainer]

no it doesnt

It pretty much does...

 

[Dup]

The Ribble Valley is pretty much under water at the moment. My street is feeling like an island right now as most roads around it are now closed.

Even my local is under water:



I imagine it's a lot lot worse further up in Yorkshire. Seen videos of things floating down main roads etc on social media htis morning.

 

[Rroff]

Nothing like that here - we had some intense rain but it didn't last that long.

~40% of the roof of ours has gone - half of that has ended up on the neighbours lawn some distance away.
