JennyMorgan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Just waddled down my garden to check my moorings. Two things that I did not expect, one being that there is no wind, it's like a mill pond. Two and surprise, surprise, my moorings are flooded. Flooded now so what should I expect for the morning when the wind really gets up? Could be an interesting day tomorrow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 When's it going to happen because it has happened yet? It's windy but nowhere near gale force at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks, John, interesting & I reckon we can say good bye to North Norfolk. There was also a dark patch over Beccles a few minutes ago but that's now gone and gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 about 10 minutes ago, the wind rose here near Basildon, and it is raining so hard you can see sheets of water bouncing off the vertical walls of adjacent buildings, take care everyone. Just heading in from the south west - with attendant rumbles of thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 It is kicking off here now. I am not going anywhere as I have to pass under oaks to get out of Knapton and they rain logs on you. I only have one car now so don't want if damaged. It seems to be coming in waves from being black as night and a monsoon we have a blue sky but the wind is increasing all the time.

Vaughan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Well I have to say it ain't going to start here today : clear skies, no wind and 21 degrees by midday. Barometer 30.1 (QFE). I shall be thinking of you all! Mind you, last week the whole village nearly got flooded out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Neighbour's old moggy has just shot across the lawn with the wind up its tale, better take precautions. That aside the sky is bright blue right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a Silver Birch then lol... Wind in Staffordshire currently from the east at 60 mph with gusts. Dry, light cloud. All heading your way. Worst has yet to come. Been like this for at least 4 hours. Our daughter lives in Oxford and has two rabbits, she has battened down the hutches lol... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I just went out on the terrace and could hardly stand against it. I got 62mph in a gust using the kit below but it is not calibrated and was cheap.)I say that because I am sure it is not 25C in the house.
