I'm in the North east so looks like it is going to miss me! I have got plenty of food in for tomorrow just in case and will sit in my cosies and comp - that is if the internet doesn't get cut off! Ekk! :eek:

Be safe compers and batten down the hatches! :D

    Should reach me by 12am & continue through Monday Rush Hour traffic.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed the electric stays on otherwise I will have comping withdrawal symptoms :eek:

    Though if you looked through my window now it's bright sunshine, blue sky & only a little wind

    Hi, I am in South West Wales, it was pretty bad in the middle of the night but calmed down now. No damage so far, just waiting for the next onslaught. No power outages yet which is unusual, comping keeps me sane. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

    Hope we all get through without to much disruption, good luck all.

    The weather warnings keep changing - one minute we are being told it is going to be as bad as the storm in the 80's then they say it won't be as severe (I was young then and cannot remember that storm!). Here in the North east it is bright one minute then pouring the next. The wind isn't too bad though. I feel sorry for wor Southerners :(

    I am in Southern England. I reckon the storms should hit us when I am due to travel to work in the morning.

    We had a rough night here, horizontal rain at one point apparently (DH was on nights, bless him). I think the threat has lessened for tomorrow, from 80 MPH winds down to 60 or 70 MPH.

    The Great South run has just finished down here, reckon the runners escaped the worst, as it is now blowing like a good-un. no rain mind, think the west is going to get most of that tonight.

    Yep looks horrible outside! They've closed off the sea front too apparently!
