Ha ha, my husband just took our dog out for a long walk, and refused to take him home until dog had done a big smelly sausage. Didn't hear much wind last night, then again, our house is pretty sheltered. Today i'll be doing some sorting out of stuff and looking at accomodation.
Winds are getting stronger...gusts have doubled from 15kmh to 30kmh in my garden...pretty much sustained at 20kmh...993hpa...just saw my neighbour head out for a run...
Wind definitely strengthening. Just had our first casualty on the roof with a large plant going over breaking the heavy pot it was in. While we were up on the roof surveying the damage a big passenger plane flew over heading North East, so airport must still be open. Wouldn't get me flying today.
Are we ready to call it a damp squib? One strong gust of wind here all morning and the OH is getting ready for work.
Wind has been increasing over the last hour a bit...still rather bearable. People walking on the street without effort. But yeah, I think it might still hit harder soon.
We're getting gusts of over 60kmh now...
