Title: Bit windy last night
Post by: Oldman on March 28, 2016, 09:59:33 AM
Hope no one suffered from it too much.
Down our road 1 tree missed my neighbours car by inches, blew her sons motorcycle over and thee are lots of fence panels missing also wheely bins scattered around.
Fortunately we escaped with just a pot plant falling over

Went to walk dog this morning, usual route, but found the road blocked by a fallen tree. No damage done fortunately.

At 10.15 it is still windy in Watford, though the rain seems to have eased off a lot.  Fence panels in my immediate vicinity still upright.  No evidence of serious damage, but not been out yet.  Driving to St Albans later this afternoon.

We got off lightly on the edge of Bristol, but seeing as we lost a fence panel in each of the last two named storms (one either side of the garden, so only one to pay for), I was hoping that would be the case.

Will probably be out collecting rubbish from the front lawn later, strange aero effect of the neighbours porch sets up a vortex that traps stuff on our grass.

our wheelie bins are at the other end of the garden and one fence panel is down but was a quick fix to get it back up
the biggest job was picking up the recycling that had blow all over the garden

It's a bit windy here on a pennine hill now! Windy enough that shutting the gate into the backyard is hard work!

No damage done here but we did loose a lot of sleep due to the wind and driving rain/hail  ::)
Still pretty rough with hailstorms here this afternoon >:(
