Batten down the hatches, again

90mph wind predicted for friday and heavy rain, this is the second 90mph storm in as many months, we've only just recovered from the last one. Holyhead port only partially reopened this week after being almost destroyed by the last one.

I feel I'm getting a bit blase, when I see the winds will only be 40mph, it wasn't that long ago that 40mph winds were a once a year thing, maybe twice a year in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

So it hits us friday night, I've got the candles ready and the xmas tree lights and batteries, so hopefully I'll see you all as usual on saturday, but if not then you'll know we've got no power!

  • My anxiety skyrockets because I had roof damage in a storm years ago and sorting it out was hugely stressful.

    There was a storm during my time on this forum (so no more than 2 years and a few months) when part of my roof blew off into the neighbour's car.

    I get concerned too but here in the south of England it's not going to be as windy as then, and nowhere near as windy as Scotland and Ireland.

    I will be thinking of you all who will be in the brunt of it.
