Isle of Man has officially closed for the winter so the storm won't be coming here.

Friend of mine is in Portsmouth (Gosport) on a yacht and she says it is quiet but Brighton is being battered.

30 miles inland from there up the a3 and also pissing it down. Wheely bin positioned under leaky porch roof.

No particular carnage in Essex as yet

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Just rode back from a mates...Quiet before the storm.
Looks like the NW will escape the worst.

I had to hammer the felt back down on to the roof of my shed this afternoon... that was before the great storm of 2013!

I'm in Lincolnshire, on the top end of where this thing is supposed to breeze through. So I will just have to wait and see what I get.

[Bendy]

Few hours to go yet for it reaching Reading - all is well.

Just been to the airfield (15 miles south) where it is absolutely pissing down. Shifted one of the microlights and added extra tiedowns to the others, just in case the forecast is accurate. Don't want them fucking off over the fence.

[Ariel Badger]

Conditions are very similar to 87 with saturated ground and many trees still in full leaf. The leaves give a large surface area an the roots have little hold in wet soil. 15000000 trees came down in 87.

Oh FFS its a bit of wind & rain get over it up North we are used to storms and high winds
I've had my roof ripped off twice (well once completely and one serious damage)
no kittens were drowned that I know of so all is well
a famous Scottish comedian once said there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing

^^^ Cool photo.

Ok, with a few tarps you have a temporary roof, but imagine no internet? I dare you not to shiver.

I helped during the '87 storms..well got paid triple time to clear up advertising signs.

I was in Milton Keynes in 87 and cycled 8 miles to work without touching the pedals. When I got there I had to go around two left corners onto a trading estate making me face the wind and I had to get off and push.

Damn you Percy!
I traveled the coast yesterday trying to get a shot like that

Well, it's certainly windy right now. The Weatherman tells me 80mph.
Ahhh well, we'll see what's left standing in a few hours

[Wonko The Sane]

I've put my bike in my mates garage, more for the persistent heavy rain playing havoc with the electrics than anything else.

I'm north of Manchester so expecting to only feel the edge of it, although we do have a weather warning of high winds and rain.

[Lone-Wolf]

Wotcha.

Been out on the trike today - no problems riding around the Severn Valley . . . . . just got back from the pub, a bit of rain, but the wind, if anything, has died down. Calm before the storm ?

This is some poo-dash "storm", man.
So far we only have rain, which is more sucky than blowy.

Disappointed of E16
