The dangerous wind this week. Self-help

  • 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!

  • 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 vehicles

    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 dressed :o

    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 shut

    glad there is someone else up at this time, been up since 3.15am, the wind woke me up and i was just lying there in bed thinking of my greenhouse! getting more anxious as the wind picked up.
    Sat in the living room now but just as noisy.
