The wind and rain is hammering down here, too. Gotta go out this afternoon, as well :dread:

To be honest I quite like the rain! Thankfully the little doggo enjoys it as well, jumping in puddles etc, doesn’t like the noise cars make on the road with the wet weather though. Anyway walk over and done with, dog dried and now sat in front of the tv :toot:

That’s not wind, that’s the sound of escaping wasps. :dread:

Played football this morning wasn't that bad bloody lost though.
Although a few trees down local.

Pretty windy here today too, though i spent my teenage years on the coast and after that, today's weather doesn't seem quite so bad.

Okay, so this happened roughly 50 yards from my house earlier (my previous post seems kinda silly now)...

Saw it collapse from my window, thankfully it didn't fall in this direction.

Oh and it landed on top of a trampoline, which is now pretty much scrap.

Did the tree not bounce?

I think that would have required a much larger one for it to fall on.

Met some friends earlier and Loki came in to join us, courtesy of my brother. From getting out of the car across the road to getting into the coffee shop he was utterly drenched, and not impressed. :lol:

It's been fine where I live, it was actually sunny earlier. Was expecting my fence to take off, but it hasn't.

Wow, it's been pretty bad weather all day but in the last ten minutes the wind has really picked up and it has started absolutely hammering it down. :dread:

Yesterday's combined wind and rain was pretty impressive. It was as if someone was stood outside my house, throwing huge buckets of water at the window, one after another. It was scaring the cats shitless.

Our garden looks post-apocalyptic this morning. With our garden furniture strewn all over the place. Hopefully nothing is damaged.

Weather is picking up here. Had a bit of snow there.

The weather was still pretty spicy during the commute this morning. Made the mistake of taking the old Severn Bridge which has basically no wind shielding. :dread:

Car was being tossed about like a bead of sweat in an aerobic teacher's buttock cleavage!

Just seen that the bridge is now closed after a lorry got blown over! :shock:

EDIT: Yeah that doesn't look good:

What sort of strawberry floating idiot takes a lorry over the Severn Bridge in high winds? :lol:

Yep, more than a smidge of idiocy on display there! :fp:

Afterwards, your damage report said there were only superficial issues, navicomp was down, slight rupture in fuel pipe 9, and somehow the driver's headset has got jammed on the country and western channel.
