Go Steady .........

[ferret69]

Just came past Crewe rail station and half the roof came flying over the top of my car, just missed me, it's getting very, very windy out there so go steady folks.

[Mamyalynne]

I am amazed all my windows are all still in, been dreadful here. Thank goodness you weren't hurt.

The BBC News website has this as breaking news:

"Crewe station evacuated after high winds bring down power lines which catch fire"

Just watching the news and they were at Crewe Station ferret.Its howling down the chimney at the moment but at least we've had no damage yet,it's just getting on my nerves

[pixie373]

Glad it missed you! It's been howling round this afternoon. I was surprised our fence is still standing.

Awful in Manchester too, was on a bus which was rocking in the wind, was so glad to be out of it, one fence panel down already and no sign of it calming down yet. Stay safe all.

Fences, walls, trees down in my village - I was actually physically scared whilst walking the dogs.

It takes a lot of wind to blow a big dave over, but it managed it - the worst I've ever known here.

[gness]

Just saw that on the news, Ferret....glad you're okay...but scary for you...x

[Barmaid]

It's not too bad here. But I AM going oop north on Saturday.........

[gness]

Roller skates and a big pillow case, Barmaid....save on petrol....☺

[ChillDoubt]

Still trying to fathom why the media but Sky News in particular are making their journalists (even the News anchor guy) present their reports whilst outdoors in the teeth of it. Dafuq is that about?
Why risk life and limb? Unless it's an emergency situation, STAY INDOORS, we don't need to see reporters fighting to stay upright, we KNOW how bad it is!

Rant over......

S'alright here, I wouldn't know there was bad wind anywhere if it were not for this thread :-/ (South London).

[tonyav]

Extremely windy here, West Mids. property damage strength, I think.

[craft1948]

Really windy here in York, wonder if the carport will still be there tomorrow.

[sherrardk]

Never known it so windy here. Loads of roads closed due to flooding and trees down (a bit in the sticks here), even diversions are getting closed now. Lots of schools closed early too. Hoping boy#1's school is shut tomorrow - 10 miles away across B and C roads.

[China Doll]

Just looked at BBC weather and it looks like it'll be Saturday for us - it says wind speed will be up to 22 then; at the moment it's around 16 apparently but I have only just heard my first wind howl.

[gness]

It's become strangely still and quiet here now.....like waiting for the other shoe to drop...x

Tonights Man City game called off.

[DaisyNonna]

Nearly blown off my feet trying to put refuse and recycling bins out Goodness knows where they will be by morning.
Before anyone asks, no, I have nowhere to store said stuff for another fortnight.
