[Domestic Goddess]

According to Sky News, storms and gales are set to batter Britain from tomorrow:

Time to batten down the hatches!

[Omega]

Yes we heard this a couple of days ago, so went out to do what DIY shopping we needed today (decorating at mo); it has been so lovely today here warmish, a slight breeze; blue sky & sunshine :thumbs:

So perhaps the winter weather is creeping up on us now. I suppose we need some frosts to kill of the bugs that are going round at the moment; they just love this warm weather where they can incubate :angry:

I don't mind it cold :cold: as long at we don't get snow next week as we are off down to Kent for a few days, and I would hate to be snowed in :hihi:

[sp54]

I hate these storms, they always worry me, especially as our house is surrounded by large trees :(

I heard a dreadfully sad story last night from my sister about the storms we had last week :( My nieces husband, [my sisters son in law], has a sister,who we have met. Well, this sister and her husband were moving to Spain last week and they had sold their house and given up their jobs. The night before they were due to leave for their new life, the husband went out in the car for something last minute and was killed when a tree fell on his car :(
It happened in Somerset and was on the news apparently :(

[Omega]

Goodness me what a tragedy :sad: Just when they were goining to start a new life too; My heart goes out to his wife and family :sad:

I remember seeing something on the news last week, but whether it was this or not I cannot say.

[Planet 24]

Its terrible I hate storms.. strangely though I love to hear the wind ..just as long as its not doing anyone any harm :unsure:


gives him a good whack round the head.

goodness only knows that man needs some sense knocking into him[/b] :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Domestic Goddess]

What a sad story SP, I feel so sorry for his family.

I saw that in the papers :cry: very sad for the family :cry: i feel so sorry for them.

Its been lovely here all day but very cold&#33; Someone at school said we ve got snow coming at the weekend :( I dont mind it snowing when we are all in and dont need to go out but mr s is on nights for 3 months and has to drive back from Birmingham every morning at 4am so if the weather turns nasty i shall be worrying about him out on the roads :(

[Annabel]

they always announce this terrible bad weather but it never seems to affect london as badly (that tornado excepted)..it might sound weird but when we had those three days of hanging fog I thought to myself &#39;its not nice this weather but at least its something different&#39;...ok im weird :blink:

[coppernob]

That was awful,Sp, I did hear about that :( .Storms never used to bother me until we had the dormer put on, now I panic &#33;Our area suffered really badly in the 1987 hurricane and a lot of people on my estate lost roofs etc.,thankfully, we&#39;ve never had it that bad since.......touch wood&#33;CN

hi DG

I pray to goodness it not a another freak thing coming up

We have 70mph winds in the last day or so.

It is just British weather in general

The frosts up in Aberdeen are really horrible at the moment

The frost never lifts all day so the heating has to be on 24/7

Very hard to cope with as it is

:cry:

Hi GEG

That sounds so strange especially when we&#39;ve had blue skies, warmish weather and slight winds :blink: To think of you up there with all that frost hanging around 24/7 :cold: Still not much longer; :errrm: you could be bringing the snow with you this weekend huh? :lol: How&#39;s Mr GEG coping with his http://bestsmileys.com/camping/2.gif

Oh dear GEG just seen weather looks like snow in your area :cold: http://bestsmileys.com/winter/12.gif

That&#39;s really sad SP. Especially when they were all set for a new life (well sad at any time).

It was all quiet here until 1.30 am this morning. My son woke up and that was me awake until well after 4 am this morning with him, the wind battering our boat about and the rain lashing down&#33;

I don&#39;t mind the cold. I&#39;d prefer those crisp bright days to winds and rain. Too many tragic accidents and if my roads were anything to go by, too many maniac drivers around not taking sensible precautions and driving like lunatics&#33;

[Sparrow]

:bigeyes: cant believe the wind here&#33; Everything that isnt fastened down ive had to throw in the shed before its blown away&#33; The trains have been slowed down on the line next to us as well. I dont know if somethings happened but theres been railway maintenece workers up and down the line all morning. By the bus stop there is a huge silver birch tree that is swaying so much Im expecting that to come down any time :(

And the river we walk past on the way to school is ready to burst its banks. It was level with the bank when we walked to school at half 8 and we have had a lot more rain since :( There was a boy the same age as my youngest leaning over the wall looking at the wier this morning - no parent in sight - we asked him if he was walking with us - i didnt want to leave him in case he leant over while no-one was about :( the river current is so fast he would have be gone :cry: had he slipped in.


I dont mind snow or even rain but these winds cause so much damage to people and property it frightens me :(

[Crazy Dog]

I&#39;ve just been watching one of my fences bending over in the wind. I guess I&#39;m going to be working in the garden at the weekend. :(

[sp54]

Gales, but no damage here yet.

The good news is............our hose pipe ban has just been lifted :lol: :rolleyes: :blink:

[red2357]

Mrs SBIV - funny you mention windows - I work in an old mill (over 60 yrs old) and different floors are rented out to diff. businesses, anyway apparent a window has just blown out on the third floor. I actually heard it (I&#39;m on the 1st floor in the offices) but just thought it was glass bottles in a rubbish bin being knocked about or something. :blink:

SP - Terrible news, so very sad. My heart goes out to the family................

Its also just been on the local news that a woman has been hit on the head by flying metal debris which came loose from a building as she was walking down Deansgate in Manchester. Shes hurt but not seriously, I&#39;m glad to report.

I hated driving to work in this weather today, there really are some stupid drivers around who do not adjust their driving to the conditions. :angry: :rant:

That&#39;s sad news SP. What a horrible shock.

I hate the wind - especially being caught out in the wind and the rain. The rain on its own I can cope with. Things are so blowy here, my office window is actually moving. I expect to be sucked out at any moment&#33;[/b]

You have given me a very strange image of you blowing around outside having been sucked out of the window&#33; Mrs SB - what are you like&#33;

Someone else mentioned that today. Terry Wogan read out an e-mail or something and the fellow said he was going out in his garden this weekend even if it&#39;s pouring down and watering the garden - LOL. He said he was also going to wash his car&#33;

[sp54]

:( My daughter has just walked through the door from college and on her way home from the train station a branch snapped off a tree and hit her on the head :(

Poor kid - fortunately it wasn&#39;t a thick branch, but even small ones are heavy and can really hurt or injure you.

She seems ok, but Mum will have to keep an eye on her now :rolleyes:

[Planet 24]

Durham Police were just on the local news saying
&#39;In weather like this please keep both hands on the wheel&#39;......Now that says it all :lol:

[StoneHenge]

Oh heck mrs sb
Tie some bricks around your ankles :lol:

[Bonkers Mad!!!]

my son phoned an hour ago to say he&#39;s coming home early, the school roof blew off :bigeyes:

[tortoise]

The wind is terrible here. :cold:

The tree in NFH&#39;s garden is bending right over, but unfortunately in our direction.

LT walked out to his taxi this morning and managed to trip over a branch.How he didn&#39;t see it I&#39;ll never know&#33;

Bridges closed here and trains running slow. Dover docks were closed so Operation Stack building up again I guess.

bl**dy weather&#33; Hopefully though NFH will get blown off his bike :lol:

Omega: Kent not due to get bad snow, just sleet :)

[red2357]

Oh eck&#33; The car parked next to mine has just had its windscreen smashed by debris off the Mill&#33; :sad:

[Sparrow]

:bigeyes: the wind has just blown next doors fence down that seperates his front and the railway line :o He is at work in the village so mr s has gone to tell him because there are nt many fence posts - so the rest will be down any time :( And it looks like the back fence between our garden and his wont last the night if this keeps up (not sure whose responsibility this is - his or our landlords&#33;)


I cant remember it ever being this bad while we have lived down here :unsure:


sparrow :(

[StoneHenge]

I hope (and keep all my crossables crossed) that nothing else bad happens that causes injury.

I hate these winds. I think 1987 was the last time I remember them being this bad for this long.

Sorry to all those that have had fences blown down, cars damaged and roofs blown off.

Hope little T didn&#39;t hurt himself&#33;

[StoneHenge]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(MrsSeanBeanIV &#064; 18th January 2007 &#045; 3&#58;53 PM) 228268</div>
I slept through that.

:lol:[/b]

Can I have some of what your drinking? Mrs SB, you have really cheered up my day today, just wanted to say thanks for the laughs - it&#39;s been great&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[sp54]

Popped out an hour ago to pick some kids up from 2 different schools. First school was ok, got to the second school, carefully shielding the dear little chap I had just picked up from assorted flying debris, including roof slates from the local pub, to find the pergola in the playground had lost half its roof of plastic corrugated sheeting.

The kids were being sent out from a different exit but as I was waiting another huge sheet of plastic roofing was ripped off the pergola and flung across the playground :o If it had gone in the other direction towards the waiting mums and carers it could have been awful :(

BTW, 1987 was the first ever night my then almost 4 year old slept through the night :rolleyes:[He was a little treasure, bless him :rolleyes:] Flipping typical since we were up all night :lol:

[Sparrow]

:angry: stupid bl**dy man that lives next door&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :angry: :rant: He says "well what can i do" Well you could move the broken fence for a start seeing as it is about 2 metres away from the railway track?&#33; :bigeyes: Is it me??? :lol:

Common sense would tell you if the wind has blown the fence down it will blow the wood onto the track :blink: Or perhaps he knows which way the wind is going to go next :lol: I left him staring at it scratching his head when I went to school - just come back fence still exactly where it was when he got here :bigeyes: I give up&#33;&#33;

sparrow :badmood:

[StoneHenge]

Lucky escape there Yi Win. Think I&#39;ll be staying indoors tonight&#33;

Silly Man sparrow&#33; You just can&#39;t help some people&#33;

Could be worse ...

"Gotta go. We got cows&#33;"

[sp54]

:o Mini sp has just got back from shopping to say our High Street is partially closed as is the main road running parallel to it as balconies from a high rise block of flats and other bits of brick and debris are falling into the town and on the road.

That is awful&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; These flats are new and only just occupied&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; We are talking entire balconies&#33;&#33;&#33; The flats are converted from an old high rise office block - we are talking over 10 stories here. I heard a lot of sirens, and it looks like there are going to be a lot of red faces in ,erm, a certain very well known house builders HQ :rolleyes:

[Sparrow]

Im still mad with next door&#33;&#33; And the fence is still lying there :( I have posted a pic below&#33;&#33; :( The fence thats broken away is on the ground below the bottom of the pic out of shot&#33;&#33; I did have a better pic but I couldnt get my phone to work to put it on here and now I cant find it&#33;&#33;&#33; But you can see how close the railway line is&#33;&#33;

My eldest was supposed to be having a tour of the local fire station tonight for her safety badge but the fire brigade are being constantly called out so its been cancelled - there are trees down all over the place plus a couple of accidents. :(

[Sparrow]

Hi Geg

I saw on the news about the snow :( My friends husband is working in the north coast of scotland area so she isn t expecting him to be home tomorrow :( like he planned. :blink:

Im not bothered that the fence has fell down - you cant expect any other in this wind :( - its the fact that the idiot cant see how dangerous leaving the fence lying right by the line is&#33; :o
- im not touching it - cos if it falls to bits Il end up paying for it&#33; He should have at least moved it to a safe place so it cant blow onto the line :sad: On this line we have at least 8 trains an hour - some very fast going as far away as Edinburgh etc. There have been loads of maintenence men on the line all day then when you want one - none to be seen :lol: Moan over&#33;&#33;

[er 59]

Hi all
We seem to have got off lightly here there are a few fences down but mine are still intact for now :thumbs:

Would it be worth calling the railway company and alerting them to the problem maybe they can do something about it the man is a fool it could cause a terrible accident :angry:

Thanks er :) yes im going to - Ive got the number written down somewhere from when I complained to them a little while ago - about them leaving the gates open all day :unsure:

I can see it still having a gaping hole in the summer - I had a go at him when he said "what can i do" - i said you need to do something unless you want to be held responsible for a train accident. His reply - il be able to see the trains properly now when they go past :blink: :o

I sometimes wonder if its me you know :crazy:

Nominate him for plonker of the year award :rolleyes:

[sp54]

bl**dy hell, sparrow the man is a complete idiot :angry:

I wonder how he&#39;d feel if there was a train crash?

It shouldn&#39;t be your responsibility, but at least you are being the responsible one. I agree with er, ring the railway company.

Our local news had a terrible story about a 2 year old boy killed when a 6 foot wall blew down as he was going past :( So, so sad :(

[Sparrow]

Thanks&#33;&#33; I know its only a fence panel and not much when you read the news and see whats gone off :sad: but it just the sheer stupidity of the man that has got my back up :rant: I just looked at him and thought we arent on the same planet mate :blink:

My friend across from us has had her fence come down - i rang her at work to tell her (feel like im the fence police today :lol: ) and we moved it to a safe place for her so it wouldnt cause any more damage. She walks in from work - first thing she did was go and check everything was safe and next doors property wasnt damaged and yet plonker brought his dad with him and they both stand there like bl**dy turkeys going erm and still leave it lying exactly where it was :angry: Sorry :blush: rant over&#33;&#33;&#33;


Ive just read about that poor child sp - very sad. :cry:

[coppernob]

I flew up the school at 3pm to get my two youngest&#33; Couple of trees down and fences but nowhere near as bad as those flats near you,SP :blink: according to my local paper though we had gusts of up to 90mph today and across the water,the Isle of Wight had 99mph winds this morning&#33; Hope ie eases down soon,CN

[Beth]

Quite bad in Yorks :( 15 high sided lorries over, one driver killed :( trees and roofs etc down and off
flooding now becoming more of an issue as the rain just hasnt let up all day

and personally I have a fence down, my waterfall from the pond is the otherside of the garden and I appear to have some of next doors garage lying on my lawn&#33; :huh:

Hope all our NFHiB friends are safe :friends:

[tortoise]

To be honest I am not looking out of my window until March&#33;

Hope you are all ok. :)

[Sparrow]

There are some pictures on the sky news website of the damage from the wind that people have emailed in:

http://news.sky.com/skynews/picture_galler...47942-1,00.html (http://news.sky.com/skynews/picture_gallery/picture_gallery/0,,70141-1247942-1,00.html) :bigeyes:

[tortoise]

Those pictures are awful.

Our NFH has a huge fir tree like the one pictured right across the road. It has been swaying really badly today.

We got a photo as the council were meant to chop it down a month ago. We have been asking them to do something about it for 5 years now&#33; :angry:

[attachment=1830:18012007194.jpg]

The angle is the tree not how Mr T was standing&#33;

[coppernob]

OMG T :blink: My NDN has got three of them at the end of their ga&#092;rden,are you sre you don&#39;t live in my neck of the woods?&#33;&#33; Seriously, it is scarey,I kept looking at theres and checking they were still vertical&#33;
Magpie, you are not responsible for the wind, nobody can blame you for that&#33; Half the country has probavly lost their fences today, let them take their photos they will look silly not you.
Dibuzz, 1987 was an awful hurricane wasn&#39;t it? I&#39;d been out to a night club on an island near me, coming back across the bridge the car was actually being lifted up by the wind and i&#39;m petrified of water&#33;Then,when we got across the bridge, a tree was down blocking the road so we had to walk after that. Sorry it holds so many awful memories for you,CN

[Omega]

Me too CN; in 1987 I saw my neighbours caravan lifted and twisted, and I also saw our double garage that was in the process of being built fall down - the back wall and then the side wall just missing our neighbours bungalow :o Trouble is it affected me quite badly and I had to have counselling back then. Whenever there were high winds (and there were plenty more episode it&#39;s not just recently that these winds have been around&#33;) I used to cuddle up in a chair with earphones on away from any windows until it died down - I hated those winds :(

Now I worry but not to the extent I did then; I still hate them tho :angry:

T I can see what you mean about that fir tree; hope you can get something done about it soon&#33;

[coppernob]

Sorry to hear that,Omega :friends: .I must admit though, that night was a scarey one back in 1987.Hopefully, we won&#39;t have many more days like this this year :( CN

[StoneHenge]

Morning all,

I hope things have settled with you all. We got off quite lightly where we were. A lot of things blown off the roof of boats and one side of ours is covered in ash blown out of someone&#39;s ash bin (just need rain to wash it off now). Our local motorway was closed, so we took the other route home, and my goodness, how damn selfish are people.

We have this road that goes up an incline and splits into two lanes. The primary reason for this is to let people over take slower vehicles like lorries etc. Anyway, every man and his dog was cramming into the second lane trying to push in and jump the queue not realising they were the ones causing all the problems. We didn&#39;t let one single car in. Got a few stares, but really, what is the world coming to when they have to fight for spaces like that. 12 people lost their lives yesterday, thousands of people are without power and there is chaos everywhere and these idiots are worried about getting home two minutes faster. I would swear, but I can&#39;t be bothered&#33;

I heard about the little boy SP. Very sad, and a tragic loss of life, as were all those that died.

Sparrow - unbelieveable, that&#39;s all I can say. People with no thought for anything or anyone but themselves.

Magpie - glad you have your power back, must have been hard with no power. Fingers crossed your NFh don&#39;t start up. I&#39;m sure you could use the break right now.

Now we just have to worry about the cold - get the wooly&#39;s out.

Hope you are all safe and well.

[sp54]

We got away without any damage - miraculously&#33;

To anyone who had damage - don&#39;t forget to take photographs for insurance purposes, and also in case of any NFH repurcussions ;)

[red2357]

Good morning to you all,

The weather is much calmer here today and no rain. I managed to get home OK, hope everyone else did.

[sp54]

Apart from all the damage, TWELVE people were killed yesterday :( Tragic :(

Morning all,



Sparrow - unbelieveable, that&#39;s all I can say. People with no thought for anything or anyone but themselves.[/b]
Its very sad - all the people who have died :cry: Their poor families :cry:


I dont know how you all managed magpie with no power all that time with 5 kids :o We were lucky ours stayed on - it flickered a lot so I got the candles ready but thankfully we were ok. Hope you are getting back to normal today :)

Thankfully the fences down are the only things that happened to us. The end house on the road side his fence has come away and it looks like part of the wall has too - he left for work really early so dont think he knows - Im going to nip and tell him when he gets back just in case he hasnt seen it cos he could wake up in the morning with one side of his garden missing if the wall collapses :(

Back to my idiot neighbour - I have told him he has got til monday to fix it or Im phoning network rail (have told workmen on line so they are aware but he doesnt know that :blink: ) A couple of the neighbours with kids are going mad because although the kids that live here know about how dangerous the line is etc they could easily get on it now :( they have threatened to report him too so we ll see what the weekend brings. I have added a couple of pictures so you can see how close we are to the line and why we can all see we need that fence up but idiot boy cant :angry:

[StoneHenge]

Blimey Sparrow, that is too close for comfort. An accident waiting to happen. Let&#39;s hope the others do report him as well. Takes a couple of hours to fix a couple of fence panels (he has not got gales force winds as an excuse today).

No but hes got being a bone idol idiot as his excuse :angry: If one of us doesnt do something about it I can honestly say it will still be like in the summer. He has lived here a year - and cut his grass twice. I know its his garden and he can do the hell he likes but I really can be doing with idiots who just cant be bothered :( - if he was ill or disabled then yes fair enough i wouldnt expect him to do anything - we probably would have done it for him - but he is just bone idol :rolleyes:

Can you tell im very p***ed off?&#33; :lol:

The neighbour from opposite next door has just been over - her fence (same bit as next door but on her front :blink: ) blew down last year and she says its the home owners responsibility not Network rail because she looked into it to see who was responsible for repairing it. It cost her £300 to sort it out. She is going to have words with him (idiot boy&#33;) tonight because while its flapping in the wind its pulling her fence with it. :( So she is very annoyed too&#33;
