Mad wind.

[Pingers]

Here we have very wet turbulence, whistling and groaning and the odd terrifying gust (uncle Graham is staying over)

[Icehaven]

There's a Kwik Fit opposite my flat and one of their bins has blown over. The other one is currently still upright but I'll keep you posted.

Be a good citizen and place them somewhere safe. Otherwise you are part of the problem, a mad wind.

There's one casualty already from Storm Ciara. Big Questions on BBC One off air for 5 minutes because of technical difficulties.

I turned off as soon as that economics TWAT started speaking - mad wind may not be so bad after all

[Shit Good Nose]

Apparently a tree has come down up on the main road.  Quietly hoping it will still be there tomorrow so I can't get to work.

[imitationleather]

Is this a website for people to invent fake tropical storms? Seriously? Why?

You've gotta have a hobby.

It's one of those huge industrial ones and they're open anyway so they can do it themselves. Which interestingly they still haven't, and there's rubbish merrily blowing around their forecourt.

Just driven east to west over the pennines on the M62. Fuck me that was rough.. Never seen it that bad. It wasnt standing water, it was small rivers in many places. 40 was plenty for lots of the journey.

[Sebastian Cobb]

It was pretty bad earlier. Deadly silent now. Am I in the eye of the storm?

Either that or you've gone deaf.

Bird house still standing and big rock on top still holding the roof down

[holyzombiejesus]

We were woken twice in the night by flood sirens, really horrible eerie things, basically WW2 air raid sirens repurposed so people can get their sandbags out. All roads out of town are closed and my wife can't get hold of any icing sugar. Oh, we've just found out we've got 3 leaks too.

[Shit Good Nose]

Bird house still standing and big rock on top still holding the roof down

Squashed bird still dead under the rock as well?

The birds haven't really taken to this super posh house that I FUCKING BUILT FOR THEM. Loads of seeds in their for weeks seemingly untouched despite the days I have been here in daylight seeing birds going in and birds going out

[Shit Good Nose]

Just goes to prove what we've all known deep down for years - birds are ungrateful cunts.  Never had a single one come over and say thanks or give me a fist bump for all the wild animal grade seed and mealworms I've put out for them.  GAWWW!

[DistressedArea]

Just got off the phone with my mum, apparently my dad has been blown into a tree, and they don't know how to get him down. Not surprised really, he's a very slight man, and he won't use the anchor we bought him.

[sick as a pike]

I think the gust that just this moment happened here (East Kent) officially qualifies as JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

Probs the same one we had here on the West side of the country a little while ago (it was going your way).  Yes - mental.  Amazed none of the elm trees at the bottom of our garden came down in that.

You and I have a very different definition of the word posh.

[Sin Agog]

Some guy's hat blew right across the road and straight into my chest earlier.  I gave it back to him and said, "CAB?"  He quickly bunged it back onto his bonce and replied: "CAB."

A small fence has fallen over in Walsall.

[wooders1978]

My wheelie bin is inside my house

[weekender]

Was it blown in by the wind?  That could be an interesting story.

[Pdine]

Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the Earth?

[Kryton]

I've got to walk and work in this weather. Already seen two trees blown over, fucking drenched.

[Sebastian Cobb]

It was rattling the extractor flaps in my en suite so it was.

[Butchers Blind]

A drainpipe has fallen down and two bins have gone over.  End times.

[Cuellar]

3 dead near me, this is NOT funny guys

[Brian Freeze]

Just had thunders and lightning followed by an extremely vigourous hail burst. Car alarms going off all over the shop.

[BlodwynPig]

3 dead near me, this is NOT funny guys

Pray for the dead bluster, gust and squall
