One fence panel only, result.

As I'm at work I have left instructions on the table for the wife.

The fence that I put up 20 years ago is still standing. It makes you kind of proud.

 

[Pickledegg]

Fence panels down on all 3 sides and apparently all mine!! Great

Looking at the obsevations it gusted to 69mph at 0300 this morning in hove.

Jeez. It felt that intense too. 69mph was frigtening enough: I don't know how people stand listening to 80-90mph gusts.

Uckfield flood barriers have gone up and shop owners are currently trying to make their shops safe. Also there is lots of activity on the side road with cars coming and going.

This was the scene earlier this morning at the Mill. The Uck hasn't burst it's banks, but got very close. The water level seems to have been fairly constant for a few hours - it may have even dropped slightly. I think we are in for some more rain later, so it could get interesting again. Doors to the Mill have now been sand-bagged!

Remind me what the Express headline said last week. Remind me how many times they have been completely wrong!

I think they said "the worst winter for 40 years", "heavy snow for 4 months", so completely wrong, as usual, so far.

Lost whole line of fencing at about 4am this morning. Was always bound to go as has been "wobbly" for a year now.

Was a relief to hear it finally crash at 4am and the knocking against the conservatory end.

Drove around 6 fallen trees, a CHAIR and 2 bins on the way to work. Made it a little more fun.

Here in Creepy I've lost 3 fence panels so not bad, but my in laws who live in ifield are right next to the river mole which has burst it's banks. Before work I had to go round there to crank open the gate so that they can actually get out of their property! Luckily there house has been built above ground level (insurance company wouldn't ensure them otherwise as it flooded once in that area before they built it) so luckily the house is fine, the water is running underneath the house. However as the gates and garage doors are electric they have no power. Hence the cranking! Walked past the Police and Fire crews who were evacuating the old peoples home next door to them.

The thing that really sucks is if they don't get power by tomorrow, that's all the food in their freezer wasted so no family get together for a big feast! grrrr!

I hope my good work holds up!
Was with lisa about 7-30 it was running to the bottom of the girders on the car park bridge then high tide will tell if it backs all the water up from barcombe. Lookimg by the sluce gate car park it had been higher but judging by the water levels at buxted ( record highs) the worst could be around 4 this afternoon with all the run of draining down.

Good luck lankey !
