Good luck over there. I love rain/thunderstorms with a dear passion, but not the flooding stuff.

The weather here has been amazing (for me) the past week. Cloudy, overcast, storm clouds rolling in and out all day. Beautiful gray all over me.

Stay safe though!
 
Well shit, right in the severe zone.

This is gonna be fun. Especially since I have 40ft tall trees just waiting to fall on the roof of my house.
 
Sunday night Monday morning. Thank fuck I'm not working until Monday night. Still it's windy at the moment and there are showers. But at least I'll miss the worst of it.
 
thats what you get for being smug SOUTHERN CUNTS

The latest weather models have totally backed off on the idea of a significant storm. Massive downgrade. Unless you live on the southeast coast then it's just going to be a typical wet and windy autumn day.

Where are we looking? I can't find a map on that.

Just maps still showing the same impending doom. :p
 
Thankfully the children's trampoline survived the makeshift efforts we made at 2am this morning. I've been out kneeling in mud part dismantling the bloody thing before breakfast this morning. Got the net down, turned the base upside down and weighted it down with rocks. If the storm takes it now, it's welcome to the effing thing.

This is basically how it works now after the Beeb were totally humiliated in 1987. Start with total devastation and then downgrade as and when required.

Don't see signs of a downgrade for our area from the Met Office site. Heavy rain, wind at 35mph, gusts of near 70mph at midnight tonight.
 
Slightly concerned because the chimney above my room isn't stable. Parents have been warned countless times that it needs fixing and they have yet to fix it.

Should be interesting, though.

I live in one the top of a hill in Bournemouth, so flooding shouldn't be an issue thankfully.
 
I'm right on the Bournemouth coast (like our back garden gate opens up to the park and beach). Our sea defences didn't do well last time. Uh oh.
