Oh well, tree down crashed into the front garden, R70 parked 10m in car port in backgarden ... a line of trees swinging wildly next to it:SHOCKED::SHOCKED:

Let us pray ...

Roof blew of one of the buildings at the University today.

Landed on a dual carriageway which is a main arterial route into and out of Wolverhampton

My office overlooks back garden, watched a whole rake of tiles blow off a neighbours roof earlier on.
Garden fence blew over and damaged next doors plants. Pretty pathetic excuse for a fence, needed replacing anyway.

We have 3 huge Oak trees, two in front of the garage...one in front of the house...so far one fence panel, a ridge tile and a roof tile gone...oh and lots of large bits of branch in the garden.....too dangerous even to go and look properly....told kids to stay away from the windows...:SHOCKED:

I'm not even going there, not much left after last weeks Gales!

But for those Interested in such things as weather/news reports.

Mid & North Wales.

Floods from Rivers overflowing banks.
Trees Down across Major & Minor roads
10000 Homes with no Electricity
2 Villages not accessable due to Floods
No Trains as 2 Lines are Flooded
Can't go over Bridges as they closed or 10MPH restrictions (no Lorries) so difficult access to the Island
Ferries now cancelled at Hollyhead to Ireland

Im going to Bed!

Just taken me over two and a half hours to get home (Normaly 15 minutes) due to fallen trees and lorries causing a gridlock in Sheffield.

Most of my Greenhouse is at the Bottom of my field! Some of it is at the bottom of the next field and that is quite a way!

My kids climbing frame did a VTO for about ten seconds

Daftest of all three of the ducks on my weather vane are now at right angles to where they started!

A495/A5 seemed to be a no go zone at lunch time over the Dee

Anyway better today than tomorrow as I am off to Bristol

My shed is in bits in the garden! Thank god I never assembled it!

Not looking forward to tonight, I'm about to take a lorry from here up to Birmingham and back via Oundle. I've normally left by now, but trucks aren't back from France yet so 1am start for me at the moment

I'm normally in Brum by then!

Tree blown over at bottom of road and another one squashed a couple of parked cars on the main road towards the A38 out of Lichfield (so I was told). A very large chunk of masionary decided to take a dive from the building I work in... Smashed on a temporary traffic bollard just feet from passing pedestrians

Luckily we're a bit sheltered where I work and where I live but else where I've been hearing tales of destruction and doom....
