Wind Amber Warning Thursday

[JennyMorgan]

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!

[JennyMorgan]

When's it going to happen because it has happened yet? It's windy but nowhere near gale force at the moment.

[ChrisB]

Mid afternoon , they say. Not windy here on North Coast.

Windy here in Lincolnshire. It seems to be episodic in decreasing intervals slowly increasing in duration. Some large bits of debris.

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.

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.

[Wildfuzz]

tropical proportions here at North Walsham, temperature dropping to!

[grendel]

stopped again now here.

[JennyMorgan]

It hasn't really started here yet 

[ChrisB]

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]

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!

[JennyMorgan]

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!

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.

[RumPunch]

Gusting around 50 on Hickling

[Wildfuzz]

Lots of roads being reported as blocked in North Norfolk.
