my garage is a bit roofless and someones rubbish litters my drive,apart from that,still breathing and a lot better off than some poor souls

Fine here, a bit fresh but no damage.

Bottom of my garden is flooded, and the lake at the back of my house, is the fullest ive ever seen

So far, we have been lucky, but the lights keep flickering, so possibly power problems locally

Unfotunately not, we're all fine, but my car didn't fare to well. Came out this morning to go to work, in a surprisingly good mood, to find a nice big dent in the bonnet of my car from a branch that fell last night! Gutted

Surprised we've got any roof tiles left and the wheelie bin took a tumble.

The brook at the side of the house is very high, but nowhere near as bad as 25/11/12.

The front garden is flooded as a result. Amazingly no tiles lost this time!

Clear blue skys here, all well and looking good for the big day.

Had a couple of call-outs during the night, so it wasn't a bad earner

Otherwise just a few large puddles and a blown over wheelie bin....

All safe round here - I think we missed the worst of it. Had a brief power cut just after we went to bed, but that was about as far as it went.

There must have been some mighty winds though - my little camping trailer got shifted 6 or 7 feet up the drive! When you think that it's resting on the ground at the hitch end...


big_wasa - 24/12/13 at 07:03 PM

Lost the fence, would be my bloody side wouldn't it. In one hand and out the other


mark chandler - 24/12/13 at 07:07 PM

Neighbour lost 3 ridge tiles, big heavy Marley ones, apart from that all clear here.

It did howl a bit.


CRAIGR - 24/12/13 at 07:17 PM

As said it howled a bit but once i got her to shut up i could hear it was quite windy too


NigeEss - 24/12/13 at 08:50 PM

What storm ??

Been fine here, couple of heavy showers but that's it.

Three weeks ago we got battered though, so I feel for you guys.

Offshore just now with 15m waves due to get up to 20m in the morning. Wind speed currently 60kts due to increase to 75kts in the morning. Only managed to get half the Christmas food onboard before the storm came in.
