Yeah really nice and sunny today, done loads of spannering on both 90's....

Apparently there are flood warnings out for Marchwood, Hythe and Totton...

If they are right, the 'ford' outside camp will be wet tomorrow...

Good job I fueled up and put the tow ropes back in the Disco this morning.

And I'm on the night shift, so I'll be finished just as people start trying to use the road to get to work...

Was driving out of Lancaster before it looked very black over the Lakeland fells and east towards Yorkshire.

fine weather today managed to watch a full day of the local rally stages through sherwood forest :dance:

Its starting to get blowy here (about 1 mile from sea in cornwall) but the barometer has been steady today so it cant be close.

I Have already lost a patio heater, hammock and shed roof and a huge dent in the misses honday from a gate that blow off due to storms this year so I HOPE its not worse than that.

NO chance of flooding for me as Im too high up, unfortunately high op on the sidfe of a valley that channels the windup to my house.

carbore · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2008, 21:43:43 »

ok so the barometes dropping rather quickly now!

carbore · « **Reply #18 on:** March 10, 2008, 00:17:55 »

Well its definitley blowy here! has been worse this year so far, lets hope I dont loose my roof. (I reckon its just a slow news day!)

We all know what happens in COBRA meetings anyway

Range Rover Blues · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2008, 03:43:23 »

Last time it got blowy my aerial came down, now I can't get so many digital TV stations. Funny as I can get all 5 terrestrial channels with little more than a paper clip, someone remind me why digital is so much better :roll:

Got Sky news on looks like south coast is getting it, get ready for the news readers standing in flood water. :?

laser_jock99 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 10, 2008, 07:40:20 »

Looking a bit rough out in the Channel right now. 50 foot waves reported by the wave height data buoy!

Well I am in the Toyota today, wellies and WP troosers in the back but it's not too bad here I am, a bit dissapointed really!

Lord Shagg-Pyle · « **Reply #24 on:** March 10, 2008, 14:24:58 »

I've just driven along the Eastern Rd in Portsmouth. The water at Langstone Harbour is just coming over the top of the sea wall. Lots of white horses out in the harbour and hordes of grizzly old men standing round in sou'westers, smoking pipes and saying 'Yarrr, I've never known a storm like this 'un!'.
On account of that alone, I gather it must be pretty bad. No doubt the Press will announce that is the worst storm since the beginning of the World, it is heralding the Riders of the Apocalypse, and Global Warming is to blame.

carbore · « **Reply #25 on:** March 10, 2008, 15:01:57 »

Iv got waves in my fish pond, poor chaps must be getting sea sick!

graham · « **Reply #26 on:** March 10, 2008, 16:45:32 »

Bit of a storm in a tea cup in this neck of the woods wind dropped around 12.00 noon nice sunny afternoon, just started raining.

Range Rover Blues · « **Reply #27 on:** March 11, 2008, 03:38:15 »

They said it would lull at lunchtime, then get back up again. I've already lost my aerial though, not I'm not parking right in front of the house.
