Storm Arwen

[Northeastfarmer]

Has given us a right good kicking all night, and still is….Electric has gone and there’s some very dangerous sounding gales.
hope everyone is staying safe out there

Blowing hard here ... and what is making it worse, is its coming from an odd direction. Our trees are used to leaning with the prevailing but this storm is widdershins

Wondering what daylight will bring

 

[DRC]

I agree about the direction . It’s hitting the house from the north as strong as I can remember .
debris everywhere and reports of lots of trees down .
can just see half garden shed on front lawn and looks like it’s bounced off the garage roof causing damage .
waiting for daylight to see what farm looks like .

Hell of a rough night here. Power went off 11pm Looking at the Northern Powergrid faults map they are going to be busy for a while.
Old Agreco genny started 1st click & earning its keep tonight.
Must be the 1st powercut we have had for 12 months

About 4 big trees have fell over in our garden, another 3 or 4 snapped in half.

Worst wind I've ever seen in my lifetime.

Doesn't seem too bad round here . ...but I've only walked as far as the cattle shed .

No power here, but I live on top of a hill and it happens quite a lot.

We never really know if there's no power cos our battery packs kick in but we do live down in a hollow ..... off on the tractor now so will soon see what's happened around. Think I might take the chainsaw

 

[Sid]

Western Power going to be on overtime!

 

[casper74]

Been a bad night here, wind as bad as I can remember for a long time, rain, and snow, i'm sure there will be damage on the farm somewhere. downside of living on top of a hill!!!! As long as everyone and animals are safe, the rest can be repaired (or bulldozed)

 

[Northeastfarmer]

One element I don’t like is wind! It’s a very destructive force you can’t see!

 

[Speedstar]

Some mess around here more trees down than standing , Lads have been out all night moving snow, sleet & trees, just waiting on a call to go & start help clean the roads up , so traffic can move again

I thought people had been told to stay at home?

No easier way to enforce that then leave roads blocked.

I seen you had a red weather warning. Hope all is ok

 

[Nearly]

Noise and driving rain last night. Trees still moving like the inflatable wavy men with their arms in the air.
Just waiting for daylight to assess roof sheet location and firewood 2022 situation.
Part built lean-to should be ok, 2t of concrete panel sitting in the legs should help.

Gusts up to 35mph here. No worse than other stores we've had before I'd say, but not very often it's a Northerly. Luckily my house is fairly sheltered on all sides. Just glad we brought cattle in this last week as our low lying grazing fields, where they were, have hardly any shelter from the north.
