Tomorrows storm upgraded to Red alert

[PapaZita]

What have you got in that bin that you think is going to stop your portakabin being blown away?

 

[Smokin Joe]

Bins and garden chairs put in the garage, camping gas stove and Butane cartridges in the house in anticipation of power cuts (Bloody modern gas appliances, no electric and the gas won't come through).

Fingers crossed for the roof.

60 mph plus gusts here midday tomorrow.
I built a canopy several years ago, maybe 8ft x 6, fixed to the wall, two 6x6 posts at the other end, polycarb sheet roof.
Its not built for tomorrow's kind of weather but it has survived some pretty rough stuff?

My colleague Maciej flies to Poland tomorrow, rather him than me

Right in the line of fire here!

Have had mails from both northern and London Northwestern rail advising no travel tomorrow, tickets valid for Saturday.

I'm a bit concerned for my dad in all honesty.He lives a stones throw from the Beach right on the West Wales coast and it's always in the firing line of rough weather.This evening I've tried in vain to persuade him to come to my house as it's somewhat more sheltered, but he's having none of it.

Nothing out of Forster Square, tree has landed on the line. Presumably taking the overhead wires out as well.

Rechecked the forecast for here in Carlisle and looks pretty tame for tomorrow....

 

[Blue Hills]

Somewhat to my surprise a fair bit of the midday in South London is showing 70mph winds. We'll see - London pretty sheltered from most stuff. Supposed to be heading into town for a bit of culture tomorrow evening.

In London W14, I didn't even have to take a taxi ride to the local eaterie for fear that my immaculate hair would be ruffled. We're made of sterner stuff in Shepherds Bush.

Last night we experienced a younger brother of storm Eunice. A bit of creativity at work.

Um.. odds on the bin lid vanishing. A brick or two might be an idea.

My school is closed for tomorrow! The winds at 8.30am for drop off is 75mph! My tiny little children would be blown away!

Excellent plan, i.e blown away.
