I thought I saw return of the revs underpants blow past our back door just now! One gust and the large pants blew from Haywards Heath to West Hoathly in no time at all. I feel sorry for wherever they land! Its rather gusty up here in mid sussex.

http://www.shorehambeachweather.co.uk/ has 61mph in the last hour and http://www.worthingweather.org/ (more Salvington so inland a little) has 50.6mph in the last hour.

Still, nothing on the Great Storm of '87 that read 120mph before the power went out.

Frightens the shit out of me, 1987 to blame for that.

 

[LamieRobertson]

its darn noisy out there

 

[robinsonsgrin]

yeh not nice in dear LA at mo, I agree.. are these winds here all night? been too unwell to keep up to date today and really need to sleep

 

[Lady Whistledown]

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.

I get that as well. We lost our whole roof in 87.

 

[Seasider78]

Well tile just flew off the roof and smashed into my conservatory so can say it is fairly gusty out there!

 

[northstandsteve]

Living in Mile Oak then, looked like a war zone in the morning, Old Vilaage was completely blocked by fallen trees. Sounds bloody blowey tonight. Will be sleeping downstairs one thinks.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Very windy in BN22, sounds worse than the other day for sure, expected to get worse early tomorrow too - the 5AM drive to work might well be a bit of a slalom course.

 

[champion7]

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.

 

[Grombleton]

Tis v blowy in deepest darkest LA. I'm not even by the coast so lord knows what its like on the seafront!

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

 

[Seasider78]

3 tiles down now!!!

 

[northstandsteve]

definitely louder and more blowey than the previous storms.

I think it may be the biggest one to hit the Sussex coast recently, but less powerful than others elsewhere in recent days/weeks.

 

[Blackadder]

Haywards Heath checking in. The winds seem stronger tonight than they have for some time.
