All is quiet at last

After a 30hour battering by 70 to 80mph winds and heavy rain the storm has past leaving a trail of damage in it's wake.
I didn't get off this time with damage to the weatherboard under the eaves and a garden in complete turmoil
At least the power stayed on others weren't so lucky there.
We have a lot of flooding and damage to buildings and the local football stadium lost it's roof.

Glad to see that you are safe, Mickey, bad weather can do quite a bit of damage.
I haven't had time to really check over the whole garden, but my buildings - and the garden I can see from the house - all seem to be OK. I did pick up a lot of apples, though !
I know some people in areas with a lot more damage, and they also lost power. (My local electricity supply / distribution company did a lot of quite expensive resilience protection work a couple of years ago - and so far, we haven't had a serious power cut since then)

Just saw this. Funny the storm was actually west of you. Still did a job. Hope those in Ireland are ok

Oh dear, sounds like you were in its path. Hope the garden can be sorted fairly easily, and that the weatherboard won't be too expensive to sort out. It's calmed down here now - very high winds - though we got off lightly.

As you know - we'd managed to avoid any damaging wind this time, but I've seen how bad it's been for you. It was like yours for about a couple of hours, then it all died down, but by the weekend, we can expect really bad weather.
