Title: Has anyone been blown about by storms
Post by: John W E on December 23, 2016, 07:35:34 pm: Hi there has anyone been suffering from Storm Barbara yet? We are getting a bit breezy down by the ankles in the North East UK - according to my weather meter we are experiencing gusts of up to 30 mph - batten down the hatches.

Watching out for a few blow-up snowmen to pass us ok2 {-) {-) {-)

Never seen rain so heavy.

I bet. I took the M80 - went to work diagonally %% I did wonder if the canopy over the Petrol Station would take off. (It did a few years back!) Calmish now, which is good, as I've 480 miles to drive over Christmas. :embarrassed:

Same here in Queensland, some really awesome thunderstorms, lightning strikes, but no rain, (in my area).

The M74 has its own ecosystems :o
where we built the windfarm beside Abington is just a nightmare you only know the weather when you get up to the turbines <:(
