So where in the weather forecast today was Blackpool......suddenly hit us and whilst I know we are nowhere near as bad as some places and I don't live near enough to the sea to worry about flooding, I am very worried about the wind!!!
I don't have a loft, my bedroom is under the roof, which currently feels like it's going to blow away, and with OH away I think I may well be sleeping in the lounge tonight!!!! I hate even mild wind let alone this. Looks like power lines are going down too
Tracey, I sleep downstairs every time a gale hits. I like the concrete floor (with a mattress), I don't feel the house shake and add earplugs for a vast improvement.
That red warning wasn't over Blackpool or anywhere else when I left home this morning
Evening all. Just catching up with you all as I've been at work all day.
Specially for archie, I did a roast with the Yorkshires that I promised a week ago, so here's a few to go with your casserole :
Pdoc - hope you can keep the water at bay. Perhaps a raft is what's required
Have a Yorkshire if archie leaves you one.
Feeling very grateful here as we have no real weather problems. Just cold winds and sleety snow/rain after the snow and ice this morning. I have an elderly uncle who lives about 5/6 miles north of the flooded areas east of Windsor, but he is ok thankfully.
Thinking of all of you who are having dreadful conditions today, and wishing I could do something practical to help.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Falling trees have delayed my train I don't mind though as I have had a lovely day
I will take some of your toad in the hole if it's spare Dove? Have eaten my cheese roll and packet of wotsits and am still a bit peckish . . . . oh hang on . . . what's this in my bag? . . . . a bag of maltesers! Woohoo! Thank you Kef

In the sticks near Peterborough
Still raining here but not very windy compared to most places.
Take care everyone, stay safe.

Fingers still crossed PD, it must be a terrible worry for you and any others 'at risk'. Glad you're sage Pentillie (I think that's spelled right!).
Right....just off to walk my little lady beagle on the prom
Hope you''ve got a hard hat on Tracey - watch out for flying roof tiles! Better make that a quick walk.
The forecast area has been growing through the day.
Forkers, if Fg hasn't made enough Yorkies, we've got some Toad in the Hole left over
Gravy, Tommy K or English mustard?
That'll keep your feet on the ground in this wind
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Torch & candles waiting for any power cuts. Expecting many trees down tomorrow.
Keep safe!!
