Storm Eunice, 18th Feb 2022 - news and discussion

My garden looks like a warzone right now...

 

[Buddy Bradley]

Our London datacentre just went pop.

 

[Dystopiary]

On the way up there I saw the box bit for a shop canopy had come down, the top of a Victorian style lamp was sat on the pavement (not smashed, just like it had been placed there) and a dead blackbird was being eaten by a magpie on one of the shopping streets.

You say boring but that scene sounds proper post-apocalyptic!

One of my garden chairs has blown over

I think it may now be under a DLR train between Stratford and Poplar.

I think it may now be under a DLR train between Stratford and Poplar.

No no, I just righted it and tucked it back under the table.

But also, impressive tree. Hope it survives!

It has, and amazedly so did the fence, which seriously looked like it was going to go at any minute.

Big drop in the wind over the last hour, what a crazy few hours.

Possibly, but a Swiss warzone.

Even the Yanks are talking about half the UK watching Big Jet TV...

The day plane spotting took over the UK

Big Jet TV's live feed of airplanes landing at Heathrow during Storm Eunice saw 230,000 tuning in to plane spot, topped Twitter's trending rankings and crashed its own website.

If you can find some decent stuff to buy.

Just managed to order a few arris rails & brackets; I aim to re-use the 50 year old feather-edge boards

No point in wasting money.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Clear blue skies and the wind has completely dropped here.

Quite a few trees down round and about but think it's just fence damage for us

Don't you think Brenda has spent enough of our money this week?

Sometimes it's easier to get people to spend money when they're already on a bit of a spree.

Jesus; that must have been terrifying.

 

[moochedit]

Scary storm Eunice seems to have missed Coventry. No wind at all now and there was nothing out of the ordinery earlier.

Just as long as the Diana Dors statue in Swindon survived.
