Storm Ciara

[slogen51]

Expecting gusts of up to 60 mph in Norfolk from mid night tonight and up to 80 mph on the South coast

Might be worth making sure any loose items in the garden are put away this afternoon.

[H.A.Bucken]

Aye, unless ya trampoline's filed a plan!
There's up to twenty warnings on 'National Rail' and by the time I'm back on my concession on Monday I expect plenty of damage to overheads (the wonders of electrification), landslides and trees across the pw.
'Scenic in the Mist'.

We had some quite high winds last month and our bin nearly went Woodly Dover

I assume the tankers at Mildenhall have been parked into the wind.

No mate ones a tabby and the other is black & white my name comes from my favourite Jaguar callsign and my old cat was called Blackie

[James Cutting]

Very nice Ah I thought it might be to do with the Jags, like that

Wind really picking up here too now

[Blackcat1]

Been awake since 2am, the wind has been awful ! And I'm not talking about indigestion!!

[slogen51]

The wind has been blowing constantly at about 40 mph and gusting to 50+ all day here in West Norfolk

Three trees are swaying like the Anfield Kop and now the rain is absolutely torrential - it feels like Scotland in the spring!

[eagle driver]

Highest wind speed recorded yesterday was 94 mph according to one of the News channels certainly felt like it at times sitting in my apartment on top of the hill .
The local internet information service advising of around 15 trees down in the immediate area so the rush hour will be interesting at least .
Thinks I will stay in bed.

[Blackcat1]

Next doors trees are down , lucky we had ours cut back in the summer !

[James Cutting]

I see Duxford's Airspace hangar took a battering again, with damage and insulation exposed. Happened not that long ago, 2014 I think they had a similar issue.

[Proteus]

Highest wind speed in Suffolk was recorded at Lakenheath at 70 mph.

[Blackcat1]

Thats why there were no Eagles up!!!?

[Nighthawke]

Also helped knock the power out to parts of the area! Not just isolated to Lakenheath of course.
