Winds up to 85mph and a lot of rain from Monday with a risk of disruption. So, if it goes quiet from your Brit buddies, there may be a power cable or two down... I have to drive through this cr*p on Monday morning to a hospital appointment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The current forecast down here has the wind speed around 60mph but, if it gets too hairy, I am not driving anywhere in it! FML! I go to the hospital two to three times per year to see the specialist and this weather comes along... The wife has to get to/from work on a bus through the country roads so that, I fear, may be interesting! The worst storm for five years but not quite up to "Great Storm 1987" strength hopefully.

We are intact so far though St Jude has gifted us a mystery object from the sky. It looks a bit like a hatch cover with an air vent in it from a boat... However, it is terracotta-coloured so may have been ripped from a house/roof. It's still blowing out there with some powerful gusts. A friend was en route to Dunkerque today by ferry but the Port of Dover has been closed and services cancelled. djMot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
