Over night a gust of 109 mph was recorded in the Welsh village of Aberdaron. We live just 10 miles from the village and I'm dreading going outside when day breaks and seeing  what damage the winds have done. 

[Daisys Mum]

   For you,

[mojocafa]

These winds we are experiencing are horrendous.

My New Years resolution was to get back to weight watchers however need all this weight  to stop me from being blown over 

[sokel]

Hope all is ok when you go outside. It was quite calm when I went out at 6am. just finished and the winds have gradually got stronger, they are now gale force and heavy rain 

[mojocafa]

Holy moly

About 25 panels of fencing has been blown over, 

My oh did comment on wed that he thought  a couple of panels needed strengthened,

We have lost a 47kg gas bottle, Horrendous night here , will have to do a damage patrol later.

[Tala Orchard]

'strewth what with loss of duck house we now have a tear in the poly tunnel, just what we need on a windy day, hope every body else is fairing better.   mojocafa hope the gas container did not do any damage have seen one of these blow through the side of a van in extremely high winds went like an exocet missile.

Take care, tie-down and batten down for more is on the way they say.

One Mountain Ash down, one slate off the roof and two chicken sheds have gone walk about.

[Penninehillbilly]

Hope everyones OK and missing sheds etc can be retrieved . Last lot of winds I lost some large water tubs that goats & geese drank from, never found, must have looked useful for someone, but I think that's how I got one of them. 
First walk round this morning everything looks OK
Didn't get much sleep-late to bed and then awake very early with the winds, wish we hadn't put that fireplace in the bedroom, noise from the chimney top is horrendous, + worrying about conservatory as we'd noticed a gap between roof and end windowframes. Luckily seems to have survived and OH is going to try and 'do something' this weekend.
Checked out www.xcweather.co.uk and it supposed to die down from now on.

Good luck one and all. Oddly, for once, quiet and calm up here!

I came home to find my pink trug dancing up the street so I retrieved it and put it back to find mine was still there!  So, if you have lost a pink trug, I can tell you it got all the way to Northampton and to get it back you will need to produce 3 forms of ID.

[shygirl]

we lost the whole garden fence and no fewer than 40 tress!! it came from the east for us, which is probably why we lost so many trees - which are used to north and south winds.

[sokel]

Well we have been blocked in most of the day. River was in full flood so couldn't cross the ford.  Then a tree came down and blocked the other way out

[mab]

I think I'm quite lucky - only one sheet of 5m x 1m roofing had come off the cowshed (where I keep my hay) but the hay seemed fairly dry so I guess it must have come off after the worst of the rain last night.

Managed to haul it back up onto the roof in a stiff breeze (quite exciting) and screw it back on just before a big cloud came over and dumped 3/4" of hailstones on us.

The real downer is that mr fox came and stole one of my new POL pullets midmorning  - one of those rare moments when I wish I had a shotgun.

[lord flynn]

hope everyone ok-being flooded is bad enough in the summer, must be truly hideous in the cold.


 the wind is one thing, although the SE kept us up last night, it was then a SSW and then a WSW. its the torrential rain thats getting me down-it hasn't stopped in 24hours as far as I know. horizontal sleet/rain all day-ghastly. still, at least our power lines are underground. its only just started to die down, got bad again from three-ish. Last year we decided to stay in Scotland rather than move to Portugal. Having a tough time not regretting it a tiny bit atm.
