Storm Eunice looks like it's going to be a laugh. I've got to drive to Basildon and back in it tomorrow afternoon too.
The tree in my parents back garden got blown over.
It looks like there's a storm for the North (Dudley) and a storm for the South (Eunice). According to MetOffice we've had the worst of it up here last night; the forecast for tomorrow is windy but not as much.Originally Posted by Spikey M

Supposed to be living the dream on my own this weekend while the wife drives down south but the red weather warning is hampering my 48 hour regression session.
The forecast says 70mph winds here tomorrow morning
That's like hurricane force?
I hope it doesn't stop you getting to the office Jim.
Category 1 hurricane is from 74mph apparently. The South Coast could hit 100mph which is Category 2. Lol.The forecast says 70mph winds here tomorrow morning

The wind was ridiculous here yesterday, surprised the house is still intact really.
Were orange here for the moment but up where I am Ill be expecting what theyre getting on the south coast.
It's coming now by the looks of it. Over 170km/h there.
Are lighthouses manned these days? Because if so, fuck that.
We had a red one a few weeks ago. Brought loads of trees down and killed two.
2 Fence panels down.
My wife went Ikea yesterday so now I’ve a load of cardboard blowing around the garden. Hopefully the wind picks up and it blows it over a few fences.
I'm a twit
How on earth will you cope?
Sorry for sharing weather related things in the weather thread lads.
That shoddy looking fence deserves it. Are there no plinths?
I'm a twit
Yeah, deleted. Not sure why I thought this would go any different tbf.
I think it's a disgrace that you even have a garden or live in a place with weather. Fucking prick.
I wanna see Spikey's fence
In the front garden there is a load of ripped up cardboard (must have flown over when the binmen were unloading this morning) and a fence panel has started to go which a neighbour is trying to fix.
In the back garden some stuff under tarp is now exposed (the tarp hasn't flown off and can't but it's no longer providing much coverage).
Mumsnet.I wanna see Spikey's fence
Doesn't seem that bad here. I'm sure I played football in worse as a kid.
On that note, I remember arriving at a pitch as a kid and everyone standing around deliberating whether the match should go ahead because of the wind. Not 5 seconds after they took the decision that we should play, half a tree came down across the pitch. There'd have been deaths if we'd been on there at the time, I have zero doubt
I'm not really finding it funny lads. This place has been getting more and more toxic for a while now, but I thought we were a bit better than lolling at people's property being ruined. Apparently not. That's about all the energy I have for a public flounce off I'm afraid, but enjoy.
We're not even above lolling at Magic's ruined lungs so I think you've set your expectations a bit high.
That said I would have been sympathetic about your fence
My parents lost their fence in a storm about a month or two ago, and I think its been replaced.
Awaiting feedback its gone again.
I can imagine its more than a little annoying having to fix something so boring.
We had snow earlier, but its now turned to horrible pissing rain and wind. I could really use going to the gym, but this weather is giving me a great excuse to just sit and watch the new episodes of space force.
I lost 4 tiles. Cost me Ł100.
The airport youtube channels seem to be doing a bumper trade today, everyone seems to be on about them.
Should've got vaccinated you cunt.I lost 4 tiles. Cost me Ł100.
Just a standard day out in Croydon, tbh.
One of my recycling bins has blown away somewhere. That's a fiver right there.
There are bins all over here but nothing serious. Everywhere is dead though. Empty shops, no cars out. It's only wind.
People have got a taste for lockdowns now. Can't wait until it hits 30 degrees in the summer.
Seven reasons why you should self-isolate this Summer (Covid isn't one of them). Number 7 will surprise you.
That’s the fakest thing I’ve ever seen.
That's located right by Croydon's new skyscrapers so that's a legit downdraught. Used to love fighting my way through the one near my offices before the fatties stole that away from me for 2 years.
Millennium Dome getting it. Blow it up with Tony Blair in it.
Our chimney is fucked too. Lol
Storm Eunice looks like it's going to be a laugh. I've got to drive to Basildon and back in it tomorrow afternoon too.
Fucking hell, you poor git. You had to drive for 20 minuets in this weather!?
Sounds like you need some scaffolding.Our chimney is fucked too. Lol
The house is surprisingly intact. Result.
I've basically slept the last 2 days recovering from x4 12 hour night shifts. The biggest gusts have come from the dog's rear end. Heard what sounded like a glass bottle break outside earlier though. Scenes.
Power went down for about 6 hours this afternoon. Luckily no damage outside that I can see, and I'd moved all garden furniture/detritus inside last night so we're clear on that front. But dealing with 2 young children for 6 hours without any power was fucking draining.
That sounds fucking terrible. Commiserations.
This is why you have kindles/ipads/other battery driven devices.
It's a lack of sleeping tablets (for the kids).
