LosOjos Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Blowing a gale in West Brom area, seriously concerned the rotten wooden frames holding my 6x2 grid of 2mx1m single pane windows is going to give any second and shower me glass!
witch Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Very windy and rainy here earlier - still quite windy but has calmed down a lot - presumably it is moving up the country
Andrew_C Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Yup; same here. Storm blown through, blue skies now... And drains overflowing, fields flooded, etc, etc
ICTDirect_Dave Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I'm guessing it wasn't there this morning? 1
Dos_Box Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Still 'just windy' here in Preston. Gets a few gusts but not as bad as we've had in the past. Wouldn't like to be in east lancs. Scrub that it's just got REALLY windy now!
6Foot2 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Link: West Coast north of Preston to close at 19.00 | Railnews | Today's news for Tomorrow's railway NETWORK RAIL has announced that it will close the West Coast Main Line to all traffic between Preston and Penrith for two hours from 19.00 this evening. A spokesman said winds in the area are already reaching 140km/h (90mph) and that the line would close in case overhead lines were damaged. There is also a risk from flying debris...
Dos_Box Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Link: West Coast north of Preston to close at 19.00 | Railnews | Today's news for Tomorrow's railway I'm not surprised. It's dangerous out there now. Wish I hadn't taken my daughter to Brownies now. It's only at the top of the road, but the walk there and back isn't going to be very nice at all.

I just sent my missus off to get the little one from Brownies... perhaps I should have tied a rope around her first.
Dos_Box Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Well, I'm back, in one piece. There are fences, wheely bins and various bits of corrugated sheeting all over the place. I don't think my neighbors car port is going to survive the night either! Edited February 12, 2014 by Dos_Box
LukeC Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That's our last Ridge Tile off! luckily we had popped out in the car otherwise I would have been claiming for the car too!
rickjames Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Nothing in London. At all. We are indestructible.
StevieM Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 On the up side, as I was driving home last night a plastic council recycling box blew across the road in front of me. As I was about to stop at the lights anyway, I hopped out of the car and threw it in my boot before it blew onto the main road and caused some serious damage. When I got home, my own green box had blown away. At least I don't have to order a new one now!
