[Sussex] Storm Ciaran on its way or here?

Footage from Brittany.

Eye of the storm now over somewhere south east of Guildford, and heading for London.

We seem to be over the worst here in Brighton. Wheelie bin recovery teams can stand down.

A bit of a let down really.

Bad day for us spelling pedants. Marrocco's has lost one its r's.View attachment 169054

It’s a sad fact that in high winds, one’s ‘R’s may blow off.

The eye is just to the north of us.

Stuff like this is why I don’t get why people think of things as a let down. Do people want this to happen to them so they have a story? Maybe I am just old and boring now but I will be perfectly happy if my fence doesn’t blow down and car get crushed by a tree.

After your kitesurfing?

We definitely avoided the worst of it along this part of the coast.
I was up all night on shift in BN2 and apart from a few powerful gusts around 5/6am, it’s been quite pleasant. Blues skies now.
Usual scaremongering.

My potted Acer fell over

Lots of minor flooding in Worthing about 06.30 this morning, roads were passable with care but, still scary.

I think the same. My mother lost part of her roof, her fence, shed etc in 1987, and it was a nightmare for weeks. Yes, we get the wheelie bins jokes etc, but elsewhere it is bad.
Think yourselves lucky.

Grump over.

We live right on the coast road in Saltdean and were bracing for a bad night....nothing.
Expected our windows to take a battering as we are south facing, but didn't really hear a thing apart from the fireplace creaking a bit all night. The only evidence of storm "damage" this morning was seeing my neighbours car with a portaloo laying against it. The roof at work is leaking massively though - not great when there is expensive machinery underneath!
Took the wife to work this morning at 7am to the hospital - the A259 was empty, and driving felt no worse than normal....

Yup, they’ve been left with a big R’s hole there.

A 6ft brick wall toppled onto my car which was new. Total cost for car was 13K with another 10k for the wall. Luckily the insurances covered it all

Storm Cairan sounds like a lap dancer's name.

No, just need some urban wear to protect me from the elements between my Sports Utility Vehicle and the front door of my local coffee house

Someone that Trump didn't have sex with, but paid her a lot of money to keep quiet about it.
