Stay safe LynGood morning all,
Storm Eunice is right on us and I must admit I feel like grabbing Lola and hiding under the stairs!! Very, very scary
My old conservatory is still standing at the moment but I can hear things being blown around in the streets outside. How any of you who have to put up with hurricanes and tornadoes on a regular basis do it, I don't know - I would be a complete nervous wreck!
Anyway I hope everything is much calmer in your neck of the woods and that you have a good day!!
Great everything turned out fine!Things are much calmer here now . We still have gusts of about 40 mph and that will continue at least until Tuesday, but thankfully Eunice has left the building! The last I heard she was over the North Sea so she is probably wreaking havoc in Scandinavia now. I hope she has weakened en route. She left a quite a trail of destruction across the UK with a couple of deaths from falling trees and debris from a roof.The Isle of Wight reported gusts of 102 mph , but in my area inland I think the strongest were about 75.
My old conservatory has stood its ground and miraculously is still standing; there were no power cuts in my area but many homes are without power. I hope these 'weather bombs' aren't going to become regular features of our weather.
Lola hasn't surfaced all day or eaten. He looks OK and just glared at me when I lifted his roof a few times to check on him. I hope it's just the weather/air pressure changes affecting him, I'll drag him out tomorrow morning for a nice soak and give him a good check over.
Yes, I even saw a clip of this on my local CBS (KPIX) station this evening.Yep….we were part of the watchers
The day plane spotting took over the UK
Big Jet TV's live feed of airplanes landing at Heathrow during Storm Eunice saw 230,000 tuning in to plane spot, topped Twitter's trending rankings and crashed its own website.
Looks lovely - have a good time!
Yes, I saw on the Local & National News of the Wind's and Damage you folk's experienced yesterday . . .Hope you all fared well.
That's beautiful and a beautiful picture also ?
We've had a lot of wind but nothing like yours. I'm so glad you came out with no destruction. I hate to think about March the windy month that's coming. Maybe we are getting that season early and it will end early.? I hate it when it's windy. I tried to open my front door earlier to get the mail and it tried to pull the storm door out of my hand and fling it open. Lola's a smart boy to stay out of it ?
Yes thanks Marsha, not heard of any casualties in my area, but plenty of fences, sheds and trees down in some areas - plenty of work for the fencing companies and tree surgeons for a while!
We are definitely having more extreme windy weather now. Such damaging winds were practically unheard of before the 80's and then only occasionally.
It's weird yes! And they're coming up with a lot of new names for unheard of weather patterns we've never seen before. This year has been a little more normal for Ohio though. The crazy ice storm we had recently is only a start to normal for Ohio though. Back in the 80's and 90's winter could be really scary. But now we're getting close to the end of February and typically we'll start seeing warmer days so winter really hasn't been normal this year either. But at least we had one long frozen period. We still had a county connected to us under a level one emergency from the ice storm. It's now probably back up to level 2 or 3 because of flooding due to all the rain and it's not cold enough to freeze it.
All the seasons are changing, none of them have the weather we used to expect
Hum, seems like the weather God's are Testing your Strength's. Hold on tight . . .Praying that you suffer little damage from all these storms...
Hang in there Lyn! Hope all turns out well.
