This bloody wind

No not aftermath of my curry, but this Storm Desmond. Wind seems as strong as anything can remember. Our three seater garden swing chair thing has just gone flying. Fence panels are bowing like anything.

  • I was out on the bike today. Meant to do some gulls, but decided discretion was the better part of valour when I was blown six feet across the road almost into the other carriageway

    Still nothing like wind up north. That bit of Lancashire between Manchester and Chorley has a constant 20mph headwind pretty much all year round

    I know, my garden chair has fallen over here in TWells.
  • All reasonably quiet here. You must have suffered an isolated gust. My thoughts are with you and I hope the rest of the day is less traumatic. (:

    From Hastings Old Town to the main town centre. Only a 10 minute walk but a real struggle as the wind was coming right in our faces.

    He was a lifelong gooner who had been going regularly, home and away, since 1934. Was on his way to the Emirates when it happened.

    Why would strong/gale force winds on Friday, effect the game on Saturday, unless there was terrible damage to the stadium?

    Exactly that plus transport issues for fans etc.
  • Flying from Glasgow to London on Friday night. Should be fun. Hopefully see you all at Saturday’s match.

    I can't see the game being effected by transport issues for the fans,
    I can't recall that happening before.

    Depends  where you travel from. I catch the train from Basingstoke, lots of times trees have fallen dow in the past, not that will stop the game going ahead but local damage around and to the ground might.

    Cardiff are at home Saturday if you get blown off course.

    A severe weather warning has been upgraded to red - the highest level - for parts of south-west England and the south Wales on Friday, meaning there is a danger to life from flying debris.

    The Met Office warned Storm Eunice could bring winds of up to 90mph, causing significant disruption.
