Got away lightly this time, just one downpipe detached from gutter - I think the wind lifted the gutter off it. Need someone with a long ladder now - at Christmas!
Also, my Spaniel's ears are slowly returning from horizontal to vertical - she does not like the wind.

Thought I had got away with no damage. Did'nt know until this morning (large damp patch on ceiling) that water had got in loft somewhere! Can't see any damage outside, so it's up the loft tomorrow!

I can sympathise. Found the same thing this morning after last night's rain. Spent some time in the loft plugging the gaps in a very makeshift fashion. Hopefully it'll be enough to survive Friday's storm.

We lost our power for 15 hours but the fridge and freezer were OK.
Lost one fence panel and I'll be ripping another one out in the new year as it's on it's way. The good news is that I have concrete panels so it's just a case of smashing out the old ones (Kindling for the log burner once dry) and sliding in the replacements.
I spent Christmas Eve on the K&ESR where we were trying to run the Santa Specials. Flooding, power cuts, trees down and losing the block made for a very "interesting" day and we ran VERY late. While some people got angry, most were appreciative of the fact that we even tried. I lost my voice answering questions. It always surprises me how many people don't know that we are volunteers.

We've been a bit luckier than others up here in Fife. Some heavy winds and rain but everything is ok. All sheds are still intact, although I was a bit worried about the solar panels but they came through ok.

Spoke to friends in Guildford today - not a good Christmas as flooded, after losing power (which they thought was bad enough). They decided to cancel the whole thing (not much choice), and will have their Christmas later in the year, when dried out and re-furnished.

Hold onto your hat. It's supposed to reach here in the early hours of the morning, while we're caught off guard.

Been pouring with rain here for about three hours and it's forecast to rain for another 12 hours. Can here the wind blowing hard even through the double glazing which means it is very loud outside - I imagine.

Our town has three rivers and the other end of town (where they are building new houses does flood - old street names like Watery Lane are a dead giveaway but new purchasers in the summer don't seem to spot them.

We are up a hill about 100 metres above sea level where the "local" people have there houses. We have only been here 27 years so we are "incomers" but we don't get our feet wet at times like this.

Getting quite windy but so far the really bad stuff seems to be North of us 109mph gusts in north wales 114 in Scotland.

Had a bashing with the winds all night and the same this morning very windy.

Yup - here in Leyland it is extremely windy with many unusual noises causing constant excursions outside to check fence panels etc. So far all is OK although one or two of the neighbours have suffered panel damage. It's meant to die down a bit this afternoon.
