Gales really getting up a head of steam

[wellquickwoody]

It sounds quite bad up in Benfield heights,been up on scaffold twice to night to make sure my tarpaulin is still covering my house.

Good luck sir!

 

[sams dad]

Very noisy in Saltdean. Think I'll also be sleeping downstairs.

 

[champion7]

My barometer is reading 68.7mph.,I live right behind foredown tower.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Mmmmmm our fence is not doing well. One large fence panel now in the neighbours garden. I am leaving it there as have no idea where I would safely put it! Dread to think if we will have any fence left in the morning!

 

[Creaky]

30 foot length of corrugated iron has just landed in our garden with an incredible bang here near Gatwick!

Presume it's blown off the neighbours workshop roof.

 

[spongy]

I've just discovered a soffit board is loose outside our bedroom window and is banging in the wind. No sleep for me tonight then and the letting agents don't open on weekends. Fantastic.

Horsham getting rustled pretty heavily by the winds as I type

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Plastic garden chair just blown 2ft from original position in the Brighton area.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Which is? I only ask as it is a bit blowy but nothing special here in West, West Sussex!

Burgess 'ill, me old chum.

Am looking outside and watching entire oak trees bowing in the wind.

I'm working at 7am, have a feeling my day will, not for the first time recently, largely be spent clearing fallen trees from country roads.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Odd, as I know it's nowhere near as strong as some of the storms we've had recently, but it does sound disconcertingly loud from where I'm sat right now.

Which is where?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Another battering for Plymouth tonight frightening gusts must be 90mph or more.

OHHH, the HUMANITY!

Plymouth Our-Gale?

 

[FloatLeft]

Lewes checking in: by far the windiest I've heard it outside for years.

 

[atfc village]

I'm a big lad and i got blown over walking home tonight up here in Farnham Surrey.

 

[easynow]

Very gusty on Hove seafront.

 

[Footsoldier]

Great time to go out and burgle some houses as you won't need to tip toe around.

Although most of the occupants will be at home, so...

You'd make an absolutely rubbish burglar, can I just say that?

 

[Norman Potting]

Here in the heights of TN6 it is proper draughty, not heard it as rough as this for a long while, missed the '87 big blow as I was in Devon.

Wind is still not too bad here in Sullington - we are sheltered by the Downs perhaps?

Best of luck with a 7AM start on a Saturday - I presume your shift pattern compensates now and again!
