Its flipping windy here in Bristol, but nothing of biblical proportions.

Bit windy in north wales... Nothing too bad.

I removed the perspex roof from my dog run yesterday just incase the wind does pick up and damage it. Safely tucked away in the shed. But all it's done so far is rain. Oh and I'm right up the north coast of Northern Ireland. So should get hit pretty hard.

Breezy and fairly good weather forecast here for the next few days.

shame it's going to hit scotland, we haven't really had a decent hurricane since 1987, wish mother nature would sort that out!! lol

we've had vicious winds for a couple of days down on the south coast, the beach is only 20-30 yards behind my house with nothing major to deflect it but it's usually like that anyways lol

Get in your car, or get a mate to take you up if you don't drive.

From what I've heard it looks like it's not to be missed.

HAHA i don't know anyone that would trek to scotland with me, don't even have petrol money either

Hmm, job interview in Glasgow tomorrow...
Not sure the battered by extreme rain/wind look is the key way to secure a job.

Someone get Michael Fish on the blower - we need an expert opinion.

I must say I'm mildly irritated by people saying that we are getting a hurricane. It's not even close.

mattjd · 11 Sep 2011 at 16:53

Had some really heavy rain/hail/wind last night but nothing that is going destroy anything

Pathetic hurricane is pathetic.

As long as it doesn't blow my washing basket over and skatter my pegs I won't mind.

If the wind picks up tomorrow, I shall be heading up there to experience the proper 'tail-end' of the storm. I've done crazy stuff like this before, in 2006 I went down south to get a feel for what Hurricane Gordon was up to, and I've wanted to do it again ever since... really makes you appreciate the power of nature.

You should storm chase/watch in the midwest US, some great storms in fall & spring.

dbmzk1 · 11 Sep 2011 at 17:05

It's not a hurricane, hell it's not even a tropical storm any more!

Kind of windy here in Manchester though...
