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!

  • I hope you guys survived the storm and everything was ok not damage or anything. I’m from Swansea south Wales and it didn’t really hit us. Can’t compare to the great storm of 87 because I wasn’t born then. I just hope that my train I’m catching later isn’t cancelled or anything otherwise I won’t be able to go where I need to go.

    Lovely day today, quite cold but sunny, I shall go for a walk with Fearn later, before it all starts again tomorrow with the wind and rain "only" 40mph winds tomorrow though.

    I vaguely remember the storm of 1987, but I slept through it and was surprised to wake up to all thw damage.
