[Sussex] Storm Ciaran on its way or here?

[BNthree]

Incredibly the milkman still came and delivered in the early hours of the morning!

 

[A1X]

Thunder and lightning kicking off in RH16

What's the betting the nutjob kitesurfers are out in this?

The wind direction is onshore so ideal for them, but the windspeed is not so ideal.

Something of nothing so far here in Hampshire. Kids school is closed though.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No feeling hugely optimistic about much of the west pier being left this time on friday

It’s still standing at the moment. This is from the webcam at the i360

Yes, but the South Westerly wind is going to make the 4th green at Seaford Head golf course a bugger to reach in one shot now.

Tee off from the 4th, the ball lands on the 18th. Simple putt in, and back to the clubhouse bar. Marvellous.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Council website saying bin collections cancelled today

I drove along the coast road, apart from a bit of flooding that will probably cause chaos later near Southwick it was fine.
The bin men were out blocking the roads up near Shoreham lighthouse.

Typical Brighton & Hove binmen, having a day off, but Adur council collections can still operate!

Yeah the Met Office is just a stooge of the main stream media.

Numbers met office always advised what it was .

And so it proved

Homes in jersey have had roof blown off. A car in Devon swept into the sea. I always find it a little odd when people belittle local issues but often many of them will laugh at weathermen from the 80s who got 87 wrong. Weather is not easy. It is based on best guesses/computer models of what has happened in the past based on similar parameters. Not easy to get it precisely correct.

My old dear in Devon says it was reasonably quiet overnight but getting going now.

The centre of the storm is still in Hampshire/Dorset. Sussex is yet to witness the awesome power of this one. Not long to wait now though?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Soaked through and all I've done is get in the van.. 🌧

A friend living in Brest, has posted several photos on FB, of a tree down in his garden, which just missed his house.

Bad day for us spelling pedants. Marrocco's has lost one its r's.

Our 'normal' waste bin has gone over, so a little rubbish picking required shortly.

Must have been a freakish gust, all our bins are parked up hard against our garage with a car backed up in front of them. Hey ho...

It wasn't just Michael Fish that got it wrong.

This is the most The Day Today thing I've ever seen...

Nothing here still in Hampshire

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Bumped into @CAPTAIN GREALISH at the Fulham match and said I'd give him a ring. Should I leave it for a week or two

Have you got me a big list

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

A few branches and small trees down outside Hove Town Hall.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Can I skyve off work or not? Ffs
