Someone up here had a tree down in yesterdays wind and blew a power line onto some dog kennels. Lost 14 working gun dogs, tragic.
I think Cork and west will cop for it tooIt always amazes me that all these storms avoid the republic of Ireland
If only the ice cream van wasn’t from north Devon
That was it, very sad.Wouldn’t normally post a link to The Mirror bu these guys are reported to have lost 13 black Labradors

Lucky bugger. We were off for 7 days.Aye a my mates electric was off 4 days up there at Ellon, nowt said
Nice dry day here today....Supposed to Heptavac the ewes tomorrow, but decided today looks better, and move them into a sheltered field for a few days. Got wet but at least my hat stayed put....
Feels like we've been in a constant storm warning up here for the past 10weeks since arwen, not got all the trees cut up and damage fixed from that yetFFS,,,
We get 100 plus miles an hour wind up north and it's a yellow warning,
The South forecast is 70 to 90 and its a red warning ,
Even the weather has a great north, south divide now
Trouble is, if they get kids to school, then power goes off they will want to send kids home and buses will be struggling even more to get through by that time of day.Ye God's, our Council is getting twitchy, they've stopped all school transport tomorrow so even if the schools are opening the kids can't get there! Then again after the inaction for previous bad weather happenings with their slow response to help care homes getting staff in and out along with supporting NHS needs the Council's resilience team are going full on this time
My mate got £70 a day for it being off compensation, he said he wished it had been off a month, so you would get a nice bit for starting the genyLucky bugger. We were off for 7 days.
I was well an truly sick of firing up the diesel generator multiple times per day.
That's because we're soft down here...only get wall to wall sunshine interspersed with gentle rain and beautiful rainbows.We had wind over 100mph not long ago and there was hardly a thing in the news. South England and its defcon 5
Ha ha. North Appledore.If only the ice cream van wasn’t from north Devon
You're about to find out just how mobile it is!Bit nervy here in the South East, looking around our mobile home thinking 'hope it's still here in the same place this time tomorrow'.
I am sure I have seen it on roof lightsI was talking to a farmer on a windy part of the Isle of Wight earlier who said they had put old tractor tyres on the roofs of the cattle sheds to stop them blowing off! Regular pre-storm procedure for them apparently.
Is this normal practice or bat$hit crazy!? I’ve never heard it done before.
