It's not Quite all Storms...

I took this picture up near Mum's, in the north of the island, yesterday, about 4pm.

It was the first fairly still evening for about a week.

Sunset, Burma Rd. January 2014.


Today we have only 30mph winds, gusting to 50, and the sea has stayed on the right side of the sea walls. Joy of joys, for tomorrow The Isle of Man Met Office has issued a red warning with more flooding predicted around mid afternoon because of another high tide (2.56pm), a significant storm surge and severe gale force winds with gusts of up to 65 miles per hour.

What fun...

Thank you - I think a few moments of peace are just what we need weatherwise, at the moment - you too, I think.

Yes, although we won't be getting like peace until at least the end of the week.

We are expected to get down below 20mph winds by Saturday - we won't know ourselves!
