Very,very windy here, mxed with rain and on occasssions a brief hail shower :shock:

Just seen Carlisle on the news and the flooding there :shock:

Also A1, M1 and M62 in this area have been troubled today with the high winds, if you need to go out take care.

Heard on the news that a lot of trees have come down,
One of them near me blocked the A5 off for several hours.

We've had a couple of truck drivers in who were unexpectedly inverted through 45degrees.
No serious injuries.

On the way into work this morning (by foot, due to not having sorted the Disco yet), I spent much of it having real difficulty standing up (and I'd not had that much to drink, either), and managed to get soaked as well. I'd not actually noticed the fact that it was raining. The wind was blowing the rain so hard, you couldn't really identify it as rain.

And I got hit by a sign as I arrived at work as well.

A bit of bad weather and lorry drivers start doing jobs on the side :)

Ok I'll get mi coat!

Seriously it was awful looking at Carlisle on the news. Most of it under water. What was i saying about being thankful for living here?

Just been windy here with a bit of rain. As I spent most of the day under the landy fixing the handbrake I only noticed the rain when my feet got wet.

As to carlisle, my inlaws live there and we havnt been able to get through on the phone to see how they are (phone is perminantly engaged guessing the phone lines are down).

TULL · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2005, 23:30:37 »

Dodge the flying debris up here.

Andy. · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2005, 23:41:41 »

I do hope the in-laws are OK Bob :shock:

Guy90 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2005, 23:59:50 »

My great aunt lives there. We got though to her but phone lines are very iffy. Whole of city centre is flooded by the station and down Warwick street towards the castle. Still no power

She's 92 and remebers this happening in the 20s. Friends have taken her in outside of Carlisle. House not flooded but she is dependant on others and the city is at a standstill. No power at the Infimary.

On my way to Craddocks this morning a guy on the radio said 20 HGVs had gone over on the A1

Bob696 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2005, 01:01:09 »

They live at Lowery Hill on the outskirts so it is probably just the phone lines.

Been bloomin' windy here!! Half the conservatory roof's gone, and I had to weigh my tub down with clutch plates to stop it blowing over!! :shock:

Linda · « **Reply #20 on:** January 12, 2005, 15:50:43 »

we've lost a few trees but nothing too bad. It seems to be calming down now although its a lot colder today

:D

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #21 on:** January 12, 2005, 15:53:38 »

All we've had is the roof-slates going up & down,

It's like someones' using them as a Xzyolphone :lol:

Oh, & at the weekend the daughters Wendy House relocated itself down the garden steps & across the lawn :lol:

TechnoTurkey · « **Reply #22 on:** January 12, 2005, 17:07:41 »

Half my greenhouse has gone over the weekend and the only fence panel in the back garden is no more!

Vam · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2005, 17:41:51 »

HWMBO put a large cardboard box in the yard at the back, along with the other flat packed card for recycling...

He didn't realise that it was full of shreded paper so we have that all over the yard now, looks kinda preety all over the bushes, and what we cant pick up will mulch down I guess :roll:

The power is out everywhere around me, ive got trees down, corrigated iron blown all over the hillside, no mobile signal, no tv signal.

Mother Nature you can take away all of that, but you'll never take my Internet.

Stormin · « **Reply #25 on:** January 12, 2005, 22:27:03 »

Just got power back on after 5 days. :D Carlisle WAS unbelievable. It'll take months to sort out. 3,000 homeless and the damage to property is tremendous.

Round here just outside Silloth, no flood damage but the winds have wreaked havoc. Should have plenty of fire wood to last a year or two. :) Was stormy last night but has gone quite tonight but cold. Roll on summer when the rain get's warmer.
