Sorry to hear that, Dave :(
Hope all damage to property and yourself get sorted quickly :thumbsup:

We lost roof tiles back in the late October storm. Took ages to get it fixed but luckily got it done just in time for Christmas. Luckily all tiles stayed in place over Christmas.

We did loose a few fence panels this time though so  need to replace them when we get a dry day over a weekend.

Blowing over 60 mph here, Tay Bridge is shut to all but cars, it will close completely if it hits over 80 mph which it did in the last storm, pretty bloomin damp too  :worried:

Hi Gang,

Decided to stay in the breezy South today instead of the stormy North as we were due in Prestwick later today.....will try again tomorrow.

Now, St Johns in Canada tomorrow night may be another story...3 days of snow forecast!!  What could possibly go wrong?..

Later,

So far so good (fingers crossed). A lot messier down the coast in both directions - pretty much no train service

Fine examples of daftness however - they had to call the police to remove sightseers at Burry Port.

I lost about £1200 worth of power tools in my workshop due to flooding on Christmas Eve morning. :thumbsdown:

Seems too early to ask this question now that's it' going on at this intensity for at least another week.

On a lighter note, I have had to make some alterations to the Devon Belle to beat the bad weather...

Looks the perfect station to moor it

I'm disappointed with photo No 2. If that had been taken by a Victorian, both platforms and the footbridge would be packed with people looking on. There might even be a train approaching through the water.

Here we go again.
Reallly, really horrible here this evening with 70-80mph winds and heavy rain (after rain all day yesterday).
In fact Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for 5 consecutive days (Tues-Saturday) for Cornwall. Ugh !!
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

My daughter was aiming to travel back from Liskeard to Falmouth. The train hit a fallen tree not far into her journey, but everyone is O.K  She's now aiming to get back to her boyfriends in Liskeard as there is no telling what will happen on the (eventual) resumed journey. I agree with Port Perran the winds are really strong and I witnessed the largest and strongest waves ever today hitting the Falmouth coastline. Truly a batten down the hatches night... it's even too windy to go into my train shed for fear of the door be taken off by the wind!

They've actually had to pull out from even trying to repair the line at Dawlish the weather got so bad. So much for their swearing they had done the work to proof it against global warming. Time to re-open the LSWR route ;-)

Very windy here too - but thankfully I'm staying put (I just hope the roof is). Didn't dare put some of the lighter rubbish out for collection as it would have been somewhere in Llanelli by now (actually...  >:D )

The pressure is dropping over in Peterborough as the wind gets up. Tomorrow's bike ride to work will be fun.  :help:
