The dangerous wind this week. Self-help
Comments

Has anyone seen the video on BBC news site regarding the landslide on Londonderry? A huge wall collapsed followed by the contents of several gardens, all over vans and cars parked in the lane beneath. The ground must have been saturated for that to happen. The weather feels almost good today and a window cleaner has been spotted in the vicinity - he hasn't been around for weeks. Short of cash for the festivities no doubt!Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14

If I lived in one of those properties in Derry I'd be feeling apprehensive in case my house followed the garden onto the top of the vehicles0

Having been totally windless yesterday, the wind has got up overnight and I can hear the back gate rattling so should really go out and probably fix it open as there is less stress on it that way. But it's cold and dark and I don't want to get dressed0

It`s mad here, started early morning and thoroughly woke me up so I came down for a mug of tea. I hate the wind, feel so defenceless. Pity help all those going back to work today, could be dangerous and I bet some bridges will be shut0
