Green bin has succumbed to the wind here already so the black will soon follow suit.

I have my chainsaw filled up and kit ready just in case.

"We don’t have real storms in this country in the same way they do in the states so there is no need for silly names. It’s winter so we’re likely to experience some wind and rain at times. "

Been blowing away all day and heavy constant rain, just waiting on the real windy stuff and wondering if worth getting dog out again. Bins are pinned against each other and hoping that’s enough.

I’d politely wholly disagree with that point above, there are a few storms that are beyond regular weather.

Even on the us scale this one would be considered a “tropical storm “ so it would be named… and it’s throwing out hurricane cat1/2 gusts…

I just hope everyone stays in and the emergency services don’t have a bad night….

Worst being worst I can always work from home tomorrow!

We've had to drive out in it while ago, it was quite scary, the wind, rain and avoiding the tree branch debris on the road.

We're now laid in bed and I feel really worried, the wind gusts must be getting up to near 100mph...that's what we get for living high on an exposed hill top though.
