Is anyone else a little bit anxious about the storm tomorrow?

Hmmm. That would probably a good second choice or Somerset where Dad was from!

Lucca

Horizontal rain half an hour ago. Glorious blue sky and suN now. Weird. In Gods own county by the way.

?Cornwall. ?

Just blowy here in the south east, although we are apparently amber, red at 10am according to the postman and I guess he would know. He said that the roads are very quiet with people heeding the warnings.

Ireland is getting a real battering at the moment, there are lots of power cuts, trees down etc. there. I’m in the Brecon Beacons (mid Wales), and it’s picking up a lot now. It’s very gusty, as opposed to constant wind - I think we are about an hour behind Ireland, so expecting it to get worse here before it gets better this afternoon.

London here, wind not too bad at the moment, but I have cancelled my osteopath appointment at 11.30 and possibly my Sainsbury’s delivery this pm may be cancelled . Fortunately I have enough supplies still . I’m a bit worried about a couple of ash trees on land backing on to our garden . Some of my family are due back from a holiday in the south today hopefully they will delay their return .

It's been raining steadily here for about an hour and the wind is picking up hour by hour. We are about 15 miles from Cambridge.
Garden is secure as l can make it. Large trees adjacent to us. My husband can also sleep through anything. He thinks l am panicking over nothing.

Goodness me. The sun has gone and now chucking it down. The sun did not last long!!

Wow, just after I posted a deluge of hail stones came and the wind is gusting .

Raining here but calm at the moment Violet. The sun is even trying to peek out . They keep telling us it is coming. We are going to spend our day with our grandchildren as planned. Involves a short drive but?? we are going. Take care whatever you are planning today.

GrandpaGravy slept through the really bad storm of 1987, despite myself and the children all being up and watching and our beautiful cherry tree demolishing the front of our garage.

It has started raining and the wind is steady, no big gusts as of yet.

Feels like calm before the storm here in my part of Lancashire. The trees are so still and the sky is grey and yellowish. My mum would have called it threatening.

South Downs.

Up now and very gusty. But I guess we are high facing the sea.

Makes me wonder if the media's hyped everything up. Again.

In the South West, so a red zone.
The wind's just started picking up a bit, but noting to write home about.

North Antrim...It's quite nice here at the minute, light clouds and sunshine, very lttle wind. Forecast is for gales (40mph) and sleet...
I'm not anxious for me, but I worry about my daughter in an older house with trees and a fence that always needs mended after storms.

We had very strong winds on Wednesday the fence panels in the garden were ripped out. It's a bit windy so far today but not severe.

Quiet and calm here in outer London at the moment the worst of the wind expected at noon and early PM. Stay safe.

Doesn’t seem too bad here at the moment, we are in red, but my daughter and husband have both left for work. I thought I’d leave it till 8.30 to make a decision.
I’ve just done a tour of the garden, so far trampoline still in place, and heavy garden furniture, but I’m not complacent, I know a sudden gust can throw things around.

I’m in North Devon and the timeline here yesterday was meant to be starting at 7 am,well it’s a bit blustery now but nothing really out of the ordinary not even as bad as Wednesday night so I’m presuming it’s going to get worse but hoping it’s detoured somewhat..??

Just had a look at the Polzeath webcam 22ft waves expected this morning WOW! Love to be on the cliffs to watch, I bet there will be surfers.

East London here. Worst expected at 12 midday 72mph.
Next door neighbours having their roof replaced so 1 section inner plastic.
Am quite anxious.
Remember the bad storm in 1980s noise was so loud and it was so dark!

Very calm here in Northumberland so far. No wind or snow just a dull day. Bit a bit of an anti-climax after the reports really but not complaining at all ......it’s early yet!!

My house is safe, it is a new build but if I lived in an older house, I would seriously think about sleeping downstairs tonight

Did no one worry about the storm on Wednesday night, didn’t see any warnings, it was vicious, threw my rubbish bins around the gardens, trees down, although luckily non around my area. Why all the fuss about this one. Is it any worse.

Sorry that was just a comment, was reading yours when I posted. Then again I lived in a Victorian house during that terrible storm in the late 80s, and no damage, not even a roof tile off.
