[roscoe erf]

[Wooly]

Now that it has been forcast, hopefully it won't get here!

Well it arrived here about an hour ago, pressure dropped pretty quickly. Heavy rain and ever increasing gusts of wind at the moment!

In the 1987 storm a Dutch barn got lifted whole, carried about 80 yards and was promptly deposited on my car! Only straight panel remaining was the drivers door.

Been out staking and roping arcs, the weight of water in my clothes and the depth of mud on my wellies was keeping me on the ground on some gusts! Hate the wind!

i helped dig a mk2 escort out from a collapsed garage the wall had completely flattened one side of the car so the passenger door just stuck up in the air with the roof flat on the seats looked bizarre

Yeah it was bad, I had my Spaniel in the hatch, unharmed thank goodness, must of given her the fright of her life.

Met office predictions now storm force 10-11

just a bit drafty here 87 we had a bit of breeze it twisted the last pair of elm trees we had close by it looked like something had just twisted and twisted till it turned them to match wood, but just before the storm hit it went very warm, it had been a coolish day till then, it went very still and the wind when it came just got more and more intense.

It was blowing a gale and throwing it down earlier, the rain beating against the windows. Just checked outside, and the path has all but blown dry and the wind has died down. Is it all over.........

Good luck with your pigeon shooting in the dark, I'm going to bed during the storm an hopefully it'll all be over by time I get up. I've got some petrol in jerry cans for the generator as my wife isn't human without her hair dryer and a cup of tea, and some more two stroke for the chainsaws so I can stock up on logs if the opportunity arises.
