Hold onto your hats

[doctor Bob]

To the chaps in the south west, wales and the west coast, good luck, hope the workshops hold out.
I'm a bit worried about my new garden building (first real test) and an oak tree which is on it's last legs, if it goes over it shouldn't hit anything but it would make a mess.

Hope the headline tomorrow isn't a garden building in Hertfordshire with a roof missing!!!

All the best chaps.

Why not put a chainsaw cut in it and save the tree surgeons bill!!

Already picking up here in Somerset. Out walking the dog and there are a lot of trees and branches down from last night. It’s supposed to be stronger later this week.

As i drove home last night I saw a wheeley bin travelling up the road like a Dalek - quite surreal

We're just on the periphery of the main path across the South Coast of Wales. Expected to be with us around 5am, it will at the very least be a power cut day based on past experience. Good luck everyone who is impacted.

I remember in the late '70s a dustbin emptying its contents over me as I went to work on my motorbike.
I remember in the same gale the cat rolling up into a ball and getting blown across the lawn.

Portreath, about six or seven miles WNW of me is thought to be one of the hardest hit, with a westerly it'll be no fun for people living in harbourside houses - the spring tide was yesterday.

I'm stuck into the sea Pembrokeshire west wales, it's going to hit us right in the face. Let's see how it goes !

Probably a Colin furze creation!!!

Looks like it'll peak here at 9am

it's already damaged a fence panel here, mega strong winds last night, hope it's not too bad for you down south, take care guys.

Not too bad here near Aldershot/ Farnborough, no trees down yet and the buildings are where they are supposed to be unfortunately

All calm out here at the minute

The red warning now covers most of the South of England. I'm due to lead a walking tour in the Costwolds this weekend, starting today. I've had to contact all the (paying) walking guests and cancelled today. So we'll start tomorrow when it will be a mere yellow.

Better safe than sorry

Our house seems to be in a little pocket of calm. It shows green on the map you linked and looking out the window the trees are not moving at all.

We have a surveyor, commissioned by our buyer, coming to check over our house today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will still be standing by the time he leaves - otherwise his report could make interesting but very concise reading.

The road half a mile away is partially blocked by someone's roof.
