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

It's been horrendous, hasn't it, Casdon
However, the BBC seems to have missed it.

I think the biggest problem in mid Wales now is going to be the flooding, the roads are terrible tonight, I’ve just been out to pick up my son from work and it’s running like a river, even on the A470 which is the main road to Cardiff. The river Usk has already burst it’s banks, and it’s still raining heavily.

Stay safe everyone. We've only got gusty winds here in Northumberland now, it's finally stopped raining but the fields have leaked a lot of surface water onto the roads.

Same here, Jaxjacky I probably live not far from you.

Very noisy, just like last Friday.

S W Wales. Raining and blowing hard

S Hants, blowing hard and lashing with rain for the last hour or so.

I am in somerset. It still sounds like a train outside. Thousands are without power. Flask is filled and phone fully charged. The squall line was, I suppose, like a mini tornado. Thorne ouside Doncaster has been very badly hit. Franklin is set to bring around 14 hours of wind gusts consistently over 45mph where I live and the ground is saturated. Going to be a disaster

If you have an idea for the name of the storm you can submit it via email to the Met office - we can blame the public for the less obvious choices.

I see it has been given a name now: Storm Franklin
70 mph winds and lashing rain

We were wondering about the name this morning.

Met Office have a list of names every year that start in September - Alphabetical order and after Franklin, it's Gladys.

The wind is howling round the house again! We lost a large part of a horse chestnut and had to pile the garden furniture on the DGC's trampoline to stop it taking off!

We were give a yellow warning for today but it is as bad as the gusts on Friday which was a red warning for Cornwall. Many people have got power back after loosing it on Friday but there are still 8000s without power and most of these are in the more rural parts of the county. It could be midnight Monday before all get it back.

So sorry for all of you that have had three days of this, and for those who have had property damaged ! We seem to have survived with nothing worse than power cuts, although there are a few fences and even a wall down nearby. It's very wearing when it goes on and on.

Stay safe everyone, it'll all be over soon.

karmalady

so it is another storm. It is dreadful here, horrible high speed sustained wind. Going to be like this all night and all day tomorrow. I am finding it more frightening than friday

I'm not sure where you are karmalady but it is definitely far worse than Friday!

It's the lights flickering here, I think, not lightning.
I'd better find the candles and matches.

I’m in the north west. The heavy rain started mid day and hasn’t lessened, it’s pouring ‘ lashing down. I got the dogs out at 9am thankfully. I encouraged them into the garden about 4, the spaniel took one look and ran to her bed. The big daft lab took off at speed but even his enthusiasm disappeared, he turned and ran back inside.
Awful dreadful sopping wet day

It's windy here but I hear the worst is much further north.

Stay safe all

It's dreadful here today - in fact it seems worse than Friday's storm.
Hope everyone is ok; Shinamae take care! It's howling up the Bristol Channel.
Oh, lights flickering (or else it was lightning)

The wind is still pretty ferocious here in North Devon, off to work again shortly along a tree lined Road…?‍♀️

We have been really lucky too, a lot of people nearby with no power still

power has been out for 4 days, just 10 minutes walk away from me

In a way the wind today is worse, it is being more sustained and will be liable to cause more damage to loosened structures and trees. I am not liking this month at all. Best to stay indoors

Not there - the red zone

Luckily, Storm Eunice didn't hit us as badly as some places although we were in there zone.

Today's wind and rain seem almost as bad.

One eight more days of February Whitewavemark2, it has been a horrible month hasn't it. I've woken up to strong winds, sunshine, and snowy rain. My bungalow has a 'dog leg' and the wind there is a vortex, catches everything and I nearly lost the door letting the dog out.

I just wondered Josiann as Hawaii is a strong theme throughout 'To Paradise'. I'm sure you are right about surfing originating in Hawaii. My son and daughter learnt to surf in freezing Newquay, unfortunately - but at least nothing scary in the sea there. Did surf in Australia but I was worried.
