Storm Darragh

[Gerry1time]

The last bit of plastic sheeting has blown off the neighbour’s rotting shed next door. I remember watching the first bit blow off in a storm two years ago. The circle of life.

Wind definitely getting up a bit again here in West Wales.

 

[baldrick]

Power went off for a few secs a bit ago.

It's very windy still. I haven't left the house and I don't think I'm going to today.

What a load of hype. Here in Bristol it's just very windy. Cus of the hype town is weirdly quiet for a Saturday this close to Christmas.
skyscraper101 did the plane go?

 

[Poot]

The roof of my car port tried to make a bid for freedom. We've done everything we can to keep it down but it's buckled the garage door. I'm trying to persuade Mr P to go to the pub and forget about it.

It did, not even much turbulence.

Here now. And there’s a rainbow

Had to do something in Exeter today and saw that the Cathedral market was shut...
900 year old cathedral is fine but tacky sheds are too risky...
I feel sorry for the small traders who can't make use of what might have been the busiest shopping day of the year.

 

[gentlegreen]

The local weather station in totterdown says it's died right down but it's just got noisy again...


Perhaps it's the slight change in direction

I had a wander about too, wasn’t sure if it would be open, but thought I’d look as a colleague had recommended the mulled cider. I settled for a pint in the Phoenix instead

 

[Gerry1time]

Power cuts around random bits of Mendip apparently. Not us tho…

 

[newme]

Christ hope its nothing too serious.

Bloody sons bloody knocking in the pressure changes

Storm Darragh O'Brean ..

 

[Tankus]

Some neighbours lost a few tiles last night, I live on the coast, back up the valleys today, we've had another flood alert on the Rhymney, my two local watering holes which I've proped the bar on for over 40 years off and on, one has had it, the owners throwing in the towel! Won't accept any donations, he's had enough. Got flooded out 4 years ago, so no commercial insurance will touch him. He competed a part refurb just 3 weeks ago, then he took a hit again last week, so sad. I took these last Tues.
Bedwas rugby club took a hit too

 

[Tankus]

The fisherman's rest has been going since 1718 so sad.

I see you've reduced your consumption of beans then.

I got home from a short and blustery dog walk to find the huge tree opposite my front door has blown over. Happily with the wind from that direction it landed on the field, had it blown from the south the tree would be in my bedroom. It took down the phone line from the telegraph pole to the house, OpenReach say they’ll fix it in 2-3 working days but I expect it’s only one of many broken lines.

I’m going to need a bigger chainsaw. Logs, sorted.

A good few power outages in local villages here in North Dorset. Different power companies cover the area and there are people complaining that they are not with Scottish & Southern who are providing welfare vans.

Not lost power here but there are a good few trees down including an oldie.

One of the bins at the petrol garage at wrk had been upended and was halfway across the forecourt. I set it back to its rightful position.

Oh yeah I forgot I righted a bin and relocated it so it would not blow over again during my lunch break.

Chaos in Truro. Rogue solar panels oh noes and a giant bauble was terrorising people yesterday but can't find a picture.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Daragh was knocking at my door about 8am i even opened the door and whhoosh.

Rescued parents fence in Hampshire and decided not to drive home yesterday.

Has it settled down a bit in the southwest yet

Still a bit breezy ...
Hopefully at least it will have given my street a good sweeping ...

 

[Elpenor]

Sunny, blue skies, gusting up to 40

A good day for driving back I reckon

 

[ddraig]

Scenes in central Cardiff early morning

 

[gentlegreen]

I noticed actual sunshine earlier, but a it's a bit too breezy for a cycle ride ...
Though the NNE wind might be quite helpful on the way home...
