Re: Severe storm on the way
It was a wild night here last night, sounds like we are in for more of the same again tonight.

Re: Severe storm on the way
last night and in the early hours of the morning here it was very windy but nothing compared to how it was in the late afternoon around 4pm-6pm... the wind was extremely fears and very strong... it actually became so strong for a time people started running into the nearest shops it was quite funny.
it rained very heavy in the late afternoon too.

i remember walking into uni at the start of last year, even though it was a built up area it was still windy enough to require a bracing stance or you'd be on the floor. what made it more challenging to walk was the wind wasn't in one direction. one second you'd be using all your strength to move forward only to get the wind from behind and be almost on the floor. good times that was

Re: Severe storm on the way
it was really windy here middx/surrey about 3 am ish but I only woke with the wind about 6 ish and didnt think it was that bad. lots of stuff blown around though but not like winds last year when there was debris every where and trees down in this area.

Re: Severe storm on the way
In Jersey, yesterday -my favourite place to be - so far... (bar Tresco, Scilly Isles)
The storm did what nothing during, or since, WWII has been able to.
A child on a school bus recorded this:

it wasn't even high tide.

Re: Severe storm on the way
A bit breezy on the coast this morning.
I'm not as quick as I used to be and got a little bit wet at one point.

Re: Severe storm on the way
You could describe the winds in Manchester as a tad blustery.
I was knocked over on to my derrière as I came around the side of my house this morning.
