Wind damage

Roof damage. Two large ridge tiles have been dislodged and are still sat up there halfway down the roof waiting to be put back ( when the roofer eventually gets his finger out and turns up - phoned on Tuesday night, still no sign of him 
). We've had to move both cars out of the drive just in case one of the ridge tiles decides to make a bid for freedom. There were two roof tiles about a foot away from the wife's car on Wednesday morning, god knows how they managed to miss landing on the bonnet.
Other than that, got off quite lightly considering the horror stories some folk have got.

My lovely Bamboo screening has been ripped off my balcony 
No damage here other than a full bin being blown over and scattering its contents. Everywhere. We've got a corregated plastic roof on top of a wooden patio construction (not really sure of it's name, about 12ftx14ft roof surface iirc, possibly bigger) that had its ends ripped apart in last years wind.... Changed it a bit this year so it's fine now though.

Had to take down the fence in the front garden as the posts were being ripped up so will need to concrete them in place now..... JOY. Seems that we have one hell of a wind trap at our end of the road all house in the middle seem fine. Cant complain up north seems miles worse then down here.

Loads of roof damage. Though this was during the wind we had a few months ago.
And then a few months later when the builders were retiling the whole thing...
Fortunately I rent

One of the problems with being a homeowner: Lots of worrying whenever extreme weather turns up!

4 panels down in the back garden.
3 panels I own, 1 from the neighbour.

Greenhouse cover was royally fudged up, it came off and its one of them 80 quid greenhouses from wilkinsons with a plastic cover.
As it stands, some pots were broke with soil in em, the cover is ripped to shreds so chucked it out other day atm its just a frame out in the backyard/garden area with some left over plants pots with soil in holding down the base.
Pretty gutted as them covers are quite expensive to replace.

1 strip of roof felt ripped off the shed. It all needed re-doing anyway, so no great shakes, just a PITA having to do it now rather than the spring.
