To Whom It May Concern re; Weather.

Severe Storm Force 11 once every 2 or 3 years can be quite exciting. But for the 3rd...4th...5th time in one winter? It is getting boring now.



Yes - we have force 11 again, gusts of 80mph+, things blowing around in the garden, in the street, and so on. Boat and flights cancelled, trees down, roads flooded...

Hard to remember that beautiful day on Monday, now.

I KNOW!

And in poor Atlanta, here in the US, they are expecting an inch and a half of ice, which will take down hundreds of trees.

Damn.

To whom it may concern; Please turn off the tap!

It just get worse and worse!

Stay safe and warm and I hope you don't suffer any serious damage :-O

Stay safe!

I saw that the Isle of Man was going to get hit, Wombat.
Been emailing my uncle in North Wales. At 3.00 he said it was getting 'really hairy' and then they started reporting gusts of 106 miles an hour just down the coast. He moved there 19 years ago and has never experienced anything like it. He lost power for an hour, and said slates had come off the roof, and he and my aunt were just having a glass of whiskey, as it is just easing now, so they had about four hours of it. No-one will be able to assess the full damage until it gets light. But it sounds as if it will be awful.

I hope it passes you quickly. Keep safe!

Take care! I'm very thankful right now that I live on a hill in a hilly town 5 mins from work.

When will it end? I've been watching a huge pine tree across the road that's at an angle like this \\\ all day. It hasn't blown down yet, but I won't be surprised if it does.

I hope you stay safe and dry, and others (like azalaisdep) survive the floods.

I know! It seems like no matter where you live, you're having miserable weather. Even the Olympic people are crabbing because it's too hot there.

It's just going on forever - hope you all stay safe.

Once every now and then is kind of fun, I guess but 5 times and you still have a ways to go. Saw the flooding on T.V. last night and could not believe it, you kind of expect it over here, but not in England. I wonder how bad it would have been if the Thames Barrier was not in place. How is your Mum coping, were you able to get her new shed up?

Stay safe.

Hate to tell you I am sitting here in a tee shirt in 70degree weather, blue skies, fluffy clouds and that funny, big yellow thing in the sky!

Huggs,
Lynda

Holy Buckets! That is just not fair, you've barely had time to clean up downed trees and fix electrical lines after the last few storms there on the island. :( I hope you and your family, and everyone else on the island, for that matter, stay safe and warm. *sending positive thoughts*

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Much sympathy! This really has been a crazy winter everywhere, hasn't it? I hope your storm lets up soon, and things settle down.

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

That is getting a bit over the top...

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

The weather is just crazy isn't it? Stay safe!

[the-winterwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, that sounds anything but nice. Tightly crossed fingers from our part for as little damage and trouble as possible, and may it blow itself out soon! *hugs*

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

Very glad I'm not travelling tonight; to anywhere at all! I hope nothing important blows off or down.

Amazing how we get used to this. I've water seeping in at my front wall periodically now, where the pointing is giving up, but there seems no point in looking to fix it till things are drier, really. Which must happen sometime, mustn't it?

The Shipping Forecast actually included some Hurricane Force 12, which is the highest it goes.

Stay safe, warm and dry!

[myrhiann.livejournal.com]

I hope the weather is easing for you now.

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

I'm sooooooooooo sorry your weather hasn't improved. Neither has our if it's any consolation. It's almost a month since we had rain. It was a terrific summer storm, but we could do with some rain again though not storms. There's hope for Tuesday.

I hope you get sunny spring days soon, soon!

[clodia-metelli.livejournal.com]

Monday was lovely. Today, not so much. But at least I'm on a much bigger island... I hope you aren't utterly cut off! We still have the motorway, I believe, but once that goes we can build a wall and declare independence.

[pondhopper.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...yes...I saw a weather map with that very strong system heading straight at you all. I hope this is the last one for you and everybody and I am very glad we're only going as far as Madrid tomorrow and on a train!

May Spring peek in SOON.

We had our second real windstorm of the winter last night, today it's clear and warm, and The Mountain is still relatively naked. This weather thing is ridiculously imbalanced. Meanwhile the Apprentice's parents in Atlanta are out of helpful sidewalk-shovellers (both of their kids are in Olympia).

I was half-listening to Question Time last night and heard a Labor MP kicking Cameron all around the block for his lack of committment to storm and flood relief. It was edifying.

Julia, suck a vivid and precise expansion on Cameron's inability to tell his ass from a hole in the ground, I was inspired.

I wondered what was happening to you.

It was very wild here but calmed down a bit in the late afternoon. I seem to get soaked every time I step out the front door but getting blown away as well was a bit too much. At least we're not flooded...yet.

[shirebound]

Oh my gosh 80mph+???? This is a crazy, cold, cruel winter indeed.

[minuial_nuwing]

This is the craziest winter ever. :( I hope everything is still standing, and that you are all safe.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Stay safe and hope you keep power. It is pretty windy here too.
