Garden wall has blown over, tree keeps hitting my window (doubt it'll fall over though).

Johanna has turned out to be a vandel!

Woke me up at 6am quite windy and rainy here in portsmouth, worst to come around lunchtime they say.

Bright sunshine at the moment on the north coast of Wales.
A bit of rain during the night,but there were stronger winds last week.Believe me,as our house is called Cradle of the Winds and we live high up on a corner that catches all the wind.
so hoping it has by-passed us!

Good Morning all
We seem to have weathered the first onslaught ok. Was up a few times in the night(usual thing) and heard the wind whipping around the side of the house. One flowerpot down and mini greenhouse a bit battered but apart from that here in north Bristol, are okay.

Glad all ok with you Maddie - hope OH got in ok?

Best of luck to one and all for the rest of the day.
Off to work in an hour so better go get ready! OH has to do deliveries in Wales today so am keeping my fingers crossed he will be ok along with any other delivery drivers.

I haven't heard a train for a while... the London Cardiff line is just a spit and a lick away... and is between us and the coastal defence wall... wonder if they have been stopped too? I haven't seen anything..
