The wind picked up last night hear hasn't stopped yet

It's like the end of the world in South Devon. It's still dark and raining and that wind - it's howling through the eaves. I looked out of the window half expecting trees to be down... Yuck! x

Hi Duncan,I live on the south east coast and have been lucky to have had a mild winter so far, most of the bad weather has been in the north, where there have been severe floods and it looks like more on the way, feel so sorry for all these families.

[KandyKist77 in reply to lynisa48]

I too live in the SE .. Rayleigh in Essex ((near Southend) yes we are lucky! Where are you?

[lynisa48 in reply to KandyKist77]

Actually Norfolk Suffolk borders, near Lowetoft so we are really east I suppose lol

[chopsticks]

Wind and rain kept me awake all night in Biggin Hill, Kent. No damage though. Chris.

Hi. Dark, wet and windy in South Wales (no change there then!). Very sorry for all the people who are flooded out. It will be months before all this gets sorted out.

[Nikkers]

Hi Duncan. It's is, and has been windy in the south all over Christmas, but not much rain. Poor souls in the north are still flooding.

[cazer]

Yes weve had pretty bad flooding in the north

I live on somerset and we suffered last year there are still people omly just getting back im their hpuses.now the fields etc are full of water its not goingg to take much to tip it over again and we are due heavy raim and gales in the soutj today....we shall see

I think probably the iceland yhing is more concerning!!!

[scorpiolass]

Dark & very windy here in Lincolnshire ; very disturbed night but no where near as bad as the flooding in, Cumbria, Lancashire & Yorkshire. Poor families. Not a good news read is it? Margaret x

[Offcut]

Wind in the night was very strong and broke another pot But the north west of UK is getting up to 120 mm of rain it has been said.

They are calling this storm "Frank"?

[M67W77]

Not too bad in Fife, Scotland but the poor people in Yorkshire and Cumbria have had bad flooding. We had a very windy night so will see what today brings.

[Roseyuk]

Yeah we have it now.. Heavy flooding up north west.. Flood alerts out in Wales,,and most of Yorkshire flooded out.

And here in Shropshire, the trees are blowing over, and torrential rain..

Not even the dog will go out in it..

⛈💨☔️

[onamission in reply to Roseyuk]

Hi Roseyuk I live in Shropshire I took my late mothers friend shopping today we had bad winds this morning but this afternoon it has just rained and rained feel so sorry for them who have been flooded out

[joyce741]

I think I'm one of the lucky ones at the moment, some breeze light winds no rain. keeping fingers crossed living in the East Anglia area of England, yes it is sad for the north of the UK

[Buzzytruk in reply to joyce741]

Agree we in the east of England , we're not far from the coast are very lucky. It was so nice yesterday I had washing iron dry after a few hours on the line........I. have a feeling it will be our turn soon the way things are going.. ....just hope I am wrong.

[joyce741 in reply to Buzzytruk]

we have the sun too, but don't know how long for

[KandyKist77 in reply to Buzzytruk]

Hope you are wrong Buzzy! as I too live in SE Essex

[Dmactds]

WOW !!! 16 replies so far..., thanks !!!

It's obvious SOMETHING is affecting the weather around many of the folks in the group, and affecting it harshly.

Yes..., Greenland seems to be in for it and I wish we had someone in the bunch of us from there.

All of you seem to be doing okay as far as still being 'plugged in' to the Internet and that's a great thing; I'm in the Atlanta area of Georgia and often the elements simply have to 'think' about being active for our electricity to go off for an hour or so. In no other place in which I've lived: NY, San Francisco, etc. has there ever been so many power outages. Of course right now we're doing okay but if one of these monster weather patterns even acted like it MIGHT come over our way, I can assure one and all that the hamster would be out of the wheel cage for a couple of hours. It's pathetic.

All sounds safe in "Jolly old England", and am glad you all see safe. Carry On !!!

Regards,

Duncan

Richest country in the world so we all get told sort it, instead of spending money on guns.

[frank65]

[kydam]

Severe flooding two miles away. Will never again complain about all too frequent high winds, due to living at the highest point of this city!

[Scouser58]

Well now,,,it looks like we are in for some very bad weather,,!!!!!,,,,wellies at the ready,,, and will somebody ring cameron,sand bags will be needed,,,,it is his fault if we get flooded out,,,,his cronies cut the flood defence spending,,,,if they send in the army,,feed them well and give them a brew,,,,they don't want to be the rescuers,,but they don't have the choice to say no.

[KandyKist77]

Spring like day here in Essex.... SE. England.... But we do miss a lot of the bad weather here (not all) feel sorry for all those folks in the north with the floods!
