There's a large dead rat on the road outside the Towers, Mar, but it's squashed so I think that it might prove hard to read.

Bit concerned about these high winds which are present for some and incoming for others. Please be careful if you're out and about. I'm snuggled at the base of a tower block in the bottom of a river valley but a pal who lived on a upper floor tower flat in the 'burbs used to tell me how she'd cower in the middle of the flat in high winds, convinced the windows were about to be blown through.

Nowt much happening here, I'm still well-stocked with grub so can weather any immediate disruption to the food supply. I have chard on the allotment. Rather bedraggled chard, but it'll probably pull through.

Stay safe in those high winds, lovely peeps.

Someone just explained to me that its the low barometric pressure which decreases the amount of oxygen available ...when it drops suddenly (this storm is very low) then you experience shortness of breath...or feel like you suddenly can't breathe at all....scary stuff Fuddle. No doubt the doggie felt it as well.

I am reading reports on current weather conditions on facebook, written by the people experiencing them. The midlands has some supercell storms around that could well lead to tornadoes. The wind and rain in some places is just horrendous. In some places it could last all day tomorrow so it might be worth bearing that in mind if you are planning tomorrow's activities.

There is another big storm on the way for Friday...ish.....the exact timing is not known yet but it looks worse than today's weather on the prediction maps.

Stay safe and warm folks, if any news crops up I will post it on here.

Hi all
Well its blooming wild here tonight, feels like the chimney is about to come down:eek: , I'm snuggled on the sofa with a bar of dairy milk and a cuppa trying to ignore the carp falling down onto the fireplace.
Ive moved the wind up lamp beside me and put a couple of candles on, just in-case the power goes off.
I too feel a certain unease, like something is brewing, but here's hoping it's something positive instead of something icky:D.
Hope everyone is warm and safe.
WLL x
p.s. thanks ever so muchly for all your kind words about my puddy cat:o.

Wow, thanks for finding that out. I definitely felt it.
