Storm Darragh

[HLaB]

There was a strange calm a d dry when I walked 3.25miles to collect a parcel just after 7pm and whilst the curtains have been drawn, it doesn't sound like anything much has changed 🤞

A red warning here between 11pm to 3am tomorrow. Very heavy rain earlier but it all seems calm at the moment.

I decided against a planned night out as I didn't fancy walking home if it's as bad as forecast.

I believe there was flooding elsewhere in the town, probably heavy rain at high tide.

I'm in the red area as well. I can hear the wind getting up now.

Definitely really getting up now. Amazing the difference in about half an hour.

Hopefully there won't be too much damage done.

I'm just annoyed that they keep missing my name, beginning with C when they name these storms. I thought they did the full alphabet in order, not missing any letters out apart from hard to find X, Y and Z names. 🤔 I suppose I should be grateful the last one was called Bert which was my dad's name. Why didn't they call this one beginning with the letter D storm @Drago!! 🧐

It's fairly quiet here. We have a fairly gusty wind and on and off rain, but nothing much else. Though as I look through my kitchen window I can see a plastic bag has blown into the communal garden which no doubt muggings here will have to shift, while the others will just step over it!!🧐

I am in the north west. No sign of anything yet and the lunchtime Lpool v Everton game is still on.

I've slept right through to 6am and it's still blowing up strong. Only Amber for us but it sounds quite bad. I'll probably have to clean up after the wheely bins later. Hopefully that's all.

Still pretty stormy here. It was really bad in the small hours. Hopefully there won't be too much damage done.

This Mornings dog walk title: tells you Storm Darragh (Like everything else remotely interesting) has mostly avoided Suffolk so far…..

Dreadful out there. Heavy rain driven by the highest winds we've had here in a while, and we're in the amber zone.

I hope CC friends are all safe.

Really blowing here. So far one fence panel blown to bits and an unlocked window in the conservatory had opened and a short section of blinds behind it looks very much the worse for wear. I was due at work today but the shop hasn't opened, no papers have left Swansea yet and it is unlikely they will so it won't be worth bothering.

Wind averages over West Wales and the N Devon coast were (and are) a fair bit lower than forecast (but some serious gusts create the risk):

We're up visiting family in Reading. Waiting to hear news from friends and neighbours re what's going on at home as we live on the West Somerst coast, on the Bristol Channel, fingers and toes crossed.

Wet n windy here with rain carried on the wind.
Too windy for a ride.
For once I am glad we don't live on the coast.
Keep safe
