View Full Version : Storm warning
Heads up for some very high winds overnight, pushing north from the south coast. Trivial yes, but I've had a couple of close calls in the past with branches and roof tiles, think about where you park your Supra tonight:)

will have to de-activate my alarm or i'll have to get up every 5 minutes to stop it going off :(
well it could be an interesting night for me. The builders doing my extension took all the roof tiles off one side of the house today so its got battons and plastic protecting the house. Rest of the house is sort of sealed (a hole here, a hole there..) but without the roof its going to get a little breezy.
pictures of what remains tomorrow.

My neighbour across the road has spent the last 3 days setting out his lights for his Xmas extravaganza that he does every year. I fear that most of it will be blown down by tomorrow morning.

I thought of you when I saw the alert....hope the reports a little exagerated Rik
TBH I think they'll always err on the side of caution after the Hurricane of October 1987.
My car got crushed that night under a wall.:(

I have the same as we are getting a dorma installed...
Lots of flappy plastic this weekend, no wind so far..
:blink:
Handy tip:
To prevent falling roof tiles from hitting your car simply park your car on the roof.
Seriously though, I remember the '87 hurricane. Very frightening hearing stuff falling all over the place and my dad outside trying to get our nutty old neighbour to go inside. The old fool was trying to sweep up the leaves so it didn't look untidy!
High winds?... But I only went for a mild curry :S

Wow that was one hell of a storm. I remember getting up and going to watch it from the window with my dad, it was ace, if a little frightening for a 7 year old.

Yes that's right. I'm actually my dad's mother's uncle. We're all inbreds in the south you know.

Well at least my new fence was safe. Thank goodness the big winds didn't amount to much. :)
However:
It rained on my dirty car. :(
So I went out and wiped it down with a wet soft cloth.
And it rained again and rinsed it off for me. :)
Saved a trip to the american car wash. ;)
