[Sussex] 'Storm' Freya - What a load of bloody nonsense

[Iggle Piggle]

I hate the way we've named the weather and made it news.

It's a bit windy and I'll probably put the recycling out tomorrow instead of tonight. It's not exactly Nelson Mandela being released is it?

 

[Dorset Seagull]

We were never covered by the yellow warning in Sussex. The storm covered the SW, Wales and a triangle across England excluding the SE corner


We had the weather BBC said we'd have... A little wet and little windy.

Although I am only bordering the south west we have had a bit of rain and a strongish wind

 

[Sussex Nomad]

What, do you mean like the hurricane in 1987.

There was no hurricane in 87.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

That's easy for you to say from the safety of Cornwall. I got stuck in Rosyth by the beast from the East. I can assure you is was a thing!

I'd hardly call the west country 'safety'. They get it first and worse than anyone in these (southern) neck of the woods, highest rain count per year?

I've lost the lid off my dustbin in EP, I couldn't find it. I believe I am now in hurricane conditions. I'll be calling Direct Line about insurance first thing.

I've got a Foreign carrier bag in the tree in my garden.

Little breezy with a spot or two of rain so far on the NE coast , had stronger wet n windy weather after eating too many baked beans

Though I guess it could still get worse over night , just does not look and feel very stormy

It was the windiest night I ever experienced though, whatever you call it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Brought down tress and powerlines in the poorer parts of the UK (i.e., everywhere outside the South East) plus Cheshire.

Blowing a ******* here in North Ken (a poor-ish part of the UK). Just as the dafs flower. As per usual.

B'stards.

My garden bin was blown over today.

If you feel like starting a gofundmepage........the bin will never be the same again...

 

[crodonilson]

you have Monster Munch in Lyme Regis? Surely you would call them Jurassic Crunch

Probably blown over from the scammers in Seaton.

All done & dusted in RH20, unlike the utterly tragic scenes in Swindon, our Bins have somehow survived.

I know. I lived there for two years.

My comment was responding to the belittling of the beast from the East event because it didn’t affect Cornwall.

 

[Algernon]

I've just driven home across Newmarket (probably 4 minutes) and had to avoid one cardboard box blown from the top of a skip and also a run of the mill wheelie bin on its side. It's chaos out there.

I overlook the Thames estuary and I can report some window rattling and my boots (carefully left on the balcony) are wet.

Freya...you bitch, come oooon.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Down here in Cornwall there were a few hours of some pretty serious winds, but certainly nothing apocalyptic. A good thing I'm sure

Beast from the east didn't affect Cornwall? Best snow I've seen in decades. We had to abandon our car that first morning
