Time to batten down the hatches

TheCatWoman

We're due winds of over 70mph overnight and tomorrow, I bought more batteries yesterday and I will check candles later. We might be alright or we might not, we do get strong winds, I'm going to take all the planters down and put them in a safer place and bring the bins into the garage. At least we have a gas hob and a gas fire in the living room so we can have hot food and be warm.

I'll see everyone on the other side of this.

Stay safe

  • Are you within the red alert for a part of Wales?

    All the best CW.

    Yes, we were upgraded this morning from an amber alert, hopefully the full force wil be on the other side of the island to us, but it will still be bad.

    Mum and I have sorted out all the candles, holders, lighters and torches, I'd rather be over prepared and feel daft when it's all over than be taken by surprise. We've got loads of towels ready as our front door has started leaking when the wind drives the rain head on to it, we've just had the bloke out to order a new one, but it won't be ready until about february.

    The wind is about 55 mph now and it's raining quite heavily, 80mph+ expected about 5am. I hope we don't have power cuts or I'll miss Strictly timorrow, oh no, that the worst thing possible lol.

    Fingers crossed that they won't be required but to use an old expression 'better safe than sorry'.
