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

I have just been watching the live feed from Heathrow on YouTube, the skill of those pilots is amazing, but lots of go arounds!

So sorry for those without power which is miserable. Thoughts go out to you BBbevan what with a long power cut and then also a tree down.

Stay safe everyone, and be careful.

I'm in Yorkshire and there's not even a gust of wind to be seen. I hope the rest of you are all ok.

I am concerned about the roof that was damaged in the last storm and that we have had no possiblity of repairing yet, due to incessant rain.

We have piled heavy objects onto the loose metal sheet and are keeping our fingers crossed.

Our wheelie bins are plastic, so I assume they will be blown over. As both have been emptied recently that should not be dangerous. Nothing to lash them to, anyway.

All windows shut and outer doors locked. No tools outside, our bikes are in the garage and I have fetched a garden ornament in.

Here it is raining heavily, but as yet the wind is not too strong.

Middle of Birmingham, not done anything re bins/garden furniture.
Been out to the shops a couple of hours ago, it's just a bit windy.

Well today is the day and we're sat on ferry waiting to get clearance from Southampton to leave the IoW,so I would have reason to be anxious, but it is what it is!

When I saw the Red alert come up for East of England cancelled my cats Vet appt hoping she will be ok till the next I could get on Tuesday! My brother agreed as he was going to take us. We are on the East coast & very exposed so used to strong winds but this is just a bit too strong now. 122mph on Isle of Wight is scary! Glad I am in a bungalow but think my side fence is going down. My lovely Twisted Willow may not make it either as it is blowing right across it poor tree! Not one of the pleasures of living by the sea right now. Hope my chimney holds up too as no joke if that goes as here on my own wouldnt know which way to run first! Hope it is over soon. Stay safe everybody!

I'm in South Devon so red warning, fortunately so far everything is intact. Although someone has a huge eucalyptus tree swaying wildly, which I am concerned about as it would take out our garage and garden. Hoping it eases off soon. ?

At risk of promoting north south divide

My DH has been watching also. The pilots are amazing and some bumpy landings!

Our large oak tree is making me a little nervous.

Red zone South East now seeing branches fall from trees and bins blown about.

Re: Severe Weather Warning [above] just went to check outside - bare chested! PS: not really.

The top of my back fence, which is formed of trellis has been blown over in London. Two of the panels have begun to lift out of the concrete posts. Very windy here.

We are in the Red zone and on the coast, there are still absolute idiots who go down to the sea and take chances on the beach, one woman today got swept into the sea then others had to rescue her, I'd have left her where she was, so so stupid.

North South divide perhaps but I felt that, when Storm Arwen hit, central government weren’t interested. Was ages before a state of emergency was announced.

Because I work in a school that is closed today due to the storm , I have an unexpected day at home . I got up with lots of ideas as to how to fill it . Finally sort my wardrobe out , go through the hundreds of photos lurking in a blanket box , do some washing , spring(?!) clean .
Guess what , I couldn’t be bothered ? I’ve drunk copious amounts of tea , read and pursued gn! Instead .

Love it LauraNorderr ?

Here in Co.Antrim we have had sleet and its just a wee bit windy. I've been watching the news and it looks really horrendous in other places. Please take care everyone.

We are in North Devon and pretty fierce here now . Friends have already lost power but so far alright but rescued the bin , full, earlier from under the car. Traffic racing about even though people have been urged to stay indoors. Friends less than a mile away just saw next doors tree go through their car and felt lucky hers is in the garage . Another friend is on the Isle of Wight and has just watched the ferry moving sideways! Staying in for now but SO NOISY

A34 now closed in Hampshire, tree down, this is a major road, chaos.
Nannapat1 not sure if you’re travelling on?

our local council is obsessed with trees and we have a few with TPOs. Cannot touch them

That's weird - we have two trees with TPOs and get them pruned every five years. The Council have to agree with the amount that comes off but they've never argued yet.

My daughter tied the garden chairs to the heavy metal and glass table on the patio. We just watched the table, chairs and all take off over 2 foot high obstacles and land 12ft away in a flower bed, halted by a clump of bamboo!

Am in what was amber, but is now Red zone ( Berks). Went to supermarket to do planned weekly shop at 8.30 am when it was quite calm. At that time I'm usually just considering getting up normally!
Very strong winds, now - it was bin day so we've been playing Bin Rugby in the street - fortunately it's a cul de sac so not too much traffic.
Two real worries - powercuts , as there have been some only a few miles away.
And trees - have 2 extremely massive conifers in the back garden, plus some other quite large ones. Very anxious re how safe they are, and how safe my neighbours and I are!!

Very gusty in Northamptonshire with a mixture of sunshine and showers. We're amber warning.
I'm amazed the bird table is sill standing!
Next door's trampoline hasn't flew over our fence, yet!

Spare a thought people for the linesmen who have to go out to sort power failures. Not only are they out in that weather but they have to climb poles to fix things!

Next doors huge trampoline almost over our fence. Luckily the young neighbour managed to wrestle it back and somehow temporarily anchor it down.
Post just delivered, royal mail marvellous.
Wind and rain still bad here in East Anglia.
