Gales really getting up a head of steam

[Footsoldier]

Although most of the occupants will be at home, so...

You'd make an absolutely rubbish burglar, can I just say that?

If it wasn't for the wind then I'd swear someone was trying to break in down stairs as I type but I know it's the wind so won't go and investigate. Just hope I've not tempted fate

Haywards Heath checking in. The winds seem stronger tonight than they have for some time.

Yes. The strongest winds I've ever known in Haywards Heath. Just got home and I can report building site fence panels strewn across Butler Green Road. Motorbike down in south road. American Lane Wheellie Bins rolling around in the road and my roof is creaking like never before. I'm a bit scared.

The 120+ years old Oak in my neighbour's garden is swaying rather ominously

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It was absolutely howling here in Hants for the last couple of hours, but it's suddenly gone all quiet now.


Edit. Oh. No it hasn't.

[Soulman]

[BRIGHT ON Q]

[Sloe Joe]

Ferring sea front will be standing proud and solid hopefully for my brother and sister in law's stay over the weekend. Hopefully they'll leave the hot water and heating on for Monday when I make preparations for my longest ever summer holiday................

http://www.shorehambeachweather.co.uk/ has 61mph in the last hour and http://www.worthingweather.org/ (more Salvington so inland a little) has 50.6mph in the last hour.

Still, nothing on the Great Storm of '87 that read 120mph before the power went out.

Not sure how to read the reports at the mo,Worthing Weather saying gusts to 53 mph, Shoreham weather saying gusts to 68mph.

I thought it was dying down in LA (north, more Lyminster if i can get away with it...) but then it got blowy again. I'm hoping that being sheltered by other houses it means little damage.

Getting to work in Pulborough will be fun tomorrow morning though...i can imagine most of my route will require a snorkel.

 

[Silkster365]

Not much doing in Worthing. A bit blowy

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Dustbin lid hit the porch window just before 10pm.

Still no sign of BBC South East. I thought they sent someone out to do a 'Going Live' report when a catastrophe like this hit Sussex.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Window-pane shaking gusts here in north London. I plan to wake for a morning run in about 7 hours. That should be some struggling fun. I'll best keep an out for roof slates and crows nests falling in my direction as i go.

 

[Giraffe]

Some power out in parts of Worthing.

 

[vegster]

I'm off to bed, Had the foresight to put my name and address on my shed.

 

[pornomagboy]

Sunny seaford not so sunny at the moment

 

[catfish]

I've just walked home from the pub and some of the gusts almost knocked me over. And I'm relatively sober.

Is the key word here "relatively"

[Tricky Dicky]

A very noisy night. More wind than rain. Unable to sleep after about 3 so decided to get up.

Still, plenty of extra time for guitar practise this morning, so that's ok.
