Very windy down here since last night and for the last 10 hours it has been raining with that rain becoming torrential in the last two hours and floods becoming widespread on most of the roads down here.

Back to more TV problems. But I feel sorry for these people who have no roofs on their houses at all

I agree nash, and hope your brother is tucked up away from the winds. I also hope all our members and their extended families and friends are safe.
It's been a tad wild in my corner of Manchester and my husband nearly took off whilst helping a neighbour move a 6ft fence panel earlier but so far I haven't heard of any structural damage.

It's a bit wild and windy in West Yorkshire.
Here's hoping it calms down for tomorrow, as we have to drive over to Manchester Airport to drop my lad off, who will (hopefully) be catching a plane to Atlanta.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
the weather was pretty awful, strong winds and heavy rain caused flooding in my area in London this morning, and i was out in it.

For the benefit of anyone planning on travelling north of Warrington on the M6: Just been informed that the Thelwall viaduct has been closed with diversions now in place.

There are ongoing road works near the airport for the metrolink extension. I would suggest you add a bit of time on incase it slows you down.

Hope i don't have to travel anywhere in Warrington tonight then. Every time that motorway shuts Warrington grinds to a halt.

Needless to say the power is off. It's been off since about 7.30 this morning and on past experience we're unlikely to get it back before Thursday.
And we've not got round to buying a generator yet.

Obviously I can't give figures but it was very, very busy for Plod, the ambulance crews and the water fairies up here with what seems like a lot more damage than the last time.

It is a lot worse. We lost count of the number of fallen trees cleared from the road as we came down to Glasgow. If it hadn't been a bank holiday in Scotland today, the roads would have been full of commuters right about the time all those trees were coming down.
I bet you had a very busy day.
