[Sussex] A bit brisk tomorrow... *** Met Office RED weather warning ***

[vegster]

Ridge tile down already, landed on the patio table, smashing the glass top.

Ouch !

Daughter just said on Facebook they were saying people were being stopped from going into Sainsburys Lyons Farm, just heard the temp traffic lights have blown down on the A27 junction with Lyons Farm.

Not too bad in seaford currently

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I've not got a lot of work done since [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] posted that!

Bins blowing everywhere in the Slarde. Dog still seems to want to go for a walk. No chance

Because people are bloody fed up with being under house arrest for months and months and they can now make their own decisions.

Bore off with the covid talk, this is about the storm.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Just got in from using my VERY rudimentary carpentry skills (along with a big hammer and loads of Big nails) to try and stop a fence panel collapsing completely and another fence post from rocking about. Both still up and looking fairly steady at the moment. I just counted and there's another 30 odd panels needing to stay up

Hang on in there

Typical 'I can't see it, so it isn't happening' Perhaps you'd like to be like the 14,000 people in Truro who've lost their power?

Not the end of the world (although in Truro they're not far away!) .... it will be restored in due course.

 

[jackalbion]

You jinxed it! What's happening?

Tree at Amberley, Tree at Angmering, Tree at Oxted, Loss of Signalling at Gatwick, Station Roof on the track at Chichester, Station Roof at Brighton iffy. I'm not getting home tonight, at least Wolf Alice is still on.

However, there is the slight risk of ending up with a roof tile where your face used to be

The coastal buses are running via the A27 to Denton Corner as the coast road is too dangerous for them. The 14s are doing a shuttle service to Peacehaven.

to go where? shirely just circle round for another go, the wind isnt getting any lighter.

thought that story about Man City flight odd in this respect, they abandon landing to fly 30 miles towards the wind? slightly different direction, not much.

A slight reduction in wind speed can make all the difference though. I was on an evening flight to Bristol a few years back and they were making preparations to fly to, coincidentally, Liverpool or Manchester due to the cross wind at Brizzle. Passengers were joking about which airport we’d prefer based on nightlife. Pilot then came back and said the wind had slightly reduced to the allowable limit and they would have an attempt at getting the plane down but as it was on the limit be prepared for an aborted landing. It was all very real time and quite dramatic.. Plane landed in Bristol. Weirdly it didn’t feel that windy or bumpy.

Virgin media internet just gone down in north Portslade.

I have always thought someone should manufacture fences with panels that can flip open, like window blinds. Allowing the wind to travel through without ripping the fence panels apart.

Lunchbreak in 1 minute. In south London, and it doesn't sound too bad at this minute, so might roam a bit on the main roads, with my eyes permanently looking everywhere.

One of the BA flights from Chicago gave it 2 goes - diverted to Geneva. Happy weekend to those folk

You're wasted on here. That's an excellent idea. Get it patented quick, otherwise the Dragons will say 'I'm out'.

All Stagecoach busses suspended. Will be reviewed at 3pm
