Chindie Posted February 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2022 The wind last night was the worst I can recall round Great Barr. If it's worse tomorrow there's gonna be damage about. Trees I don't recall ever having significant movement in the trunk were noticeably swaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I'm living in the red alert zone, in the south-west of Britain: 10km inland from Swansea. 91mph is predicted for my town at 9am tomorrow! This is a "hurricane" (greater than 73mph) according to the Beaufort scale!! Yikes!!! :s My manager's asked us all to stay at home tomorrow so it's a three day weekend. All trains and buses in the county of Swansea are cancelled for the whole morning. Edited February 17, 2022 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Predictions its going to be the worst Inland storm for 30 years, Starts from around 3am till around 10pm Friday night. Make sure all your devices/power packs are fully charged and you have Candles Matches/Torches at the ready as significant risks that power will be off at various locations. Make sure All garden furniture and pots, wheely bins etc are secure. Batten down the hatches and fastest you're sat belts!.. It's going to be a bumpy ride into Friday Night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 In the south west too, expecting an interesting morning tomorrow. Gutted the place I used to live is due biblical blizzards. I can’t get no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the trees are swaying a little but nothing remarkable by any stretch. Weather says we should be having 60mph gusts right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
