[Sussex] A bit brisk tomorrow... *** Met Office RED weather warning ***

[nicko31]

I remember after the 87 storm, those flats? on the left up the hill out of Saltdean had all their whole roofs ripped off and were lying on the grass

120mph winds at Shoreham in 87, there was havoc. This could be more dodgy as it will happen in daytime hours with more people about

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I doubt many people would use it in really bad weather anyway, but just a warning for anyone that usually uses it to commute home etc.(

I beg to differ, have you seen some of the reality shows lately....

I used to love beachcombing after a storm. Does anyone still do that?

I'm having enough of a problem just combing these days, let alone beachcombing.

Good luck mate, I hope all will be well.

We were in the first road in Ovingdean until a year ago. I am grateful that we moved in to central Brighton.

Love this quote from the met office:

"It is the most powerful storm we have seen in recent years and we should tie down anything loose especially trampolines and make plans to stay in especially if you live in a red zone," he told the BBC.

There speaks a man/woman who has suffered from watching their childs trampoline disappear into their neighbours greenhouse!

Cheers Pogue - weve had some hairy times over the last two decades up there, but have only lost one tile in all the years since. I have a feeling this one may be bad though.
If we get through this unscathed I will declare it the safest place in the country to be when the apocalypse starts!

Wish I had something to comb

Schools have been shut tomorrow down this way, more home schooling to look forward to. Hopefully the roads are clear of trampolines by Sat a.m. as we've got tickets for the match.

If they’re not it’s probably worth giving this a quick bounce.

Maybe wait until spring

Which reminds me ... need to sort out my son's trampoline later this afternoon. Had to move it from it's normally lashed down with ground pegs because we've been having work done in the garden, it's currently sitting on a slope and not tied down...

I’m supposed to be travelling down from the North East to London on Saturday for something I really don’t want to go to. Decent chance of being able to use the weather as an excuse not to go? Hoping for some rail carnage.

 

[zefarelly]

cycling to work is usually 15 mins each way

20 in yesterday and under 15 home . . . similar today.

may drive tomorrow. or put stabilisers on my scooter.

Love storms although I slept through the great storm woke to something that resembled a scene from the walking dead.

You wont love them so much if your roof gets blown off

It's incredibly calm with sunshine and blue skies in the back garden at the moment. What time is kick off ?

Presume you have heard the Phrase 'The Calm Before the Storm'?
