I just looked at the Met office forecast for London. Maximum gusts are forecast for 06:00 at 53mph.
That would barely make a weather forecast elsewhere. Man up.

Well it was enough to bring two trees down outside my house, one on our car

The damage is pretty minor, though, fortunately.

That's due to Southern Trees having namby pamby shandy drinking shallow roots.

Too down. One to go.


Sympathies to those genuinely affected.

Ha! Shows what you know! I've just been to the shop and I saw 3 bins lying on their sides and the bus stop sign has blown off. Thankfully my family and I have survived the apocalypse (so far).

It's the start of Sean's zombie apocalypse don't you know

Crawls bleary eyed from nuclear bunker clutching peaches and petrol. I think we've survived the apocalypse guys... Was a tad breezy here overnight so a bit of an anti climax. Greenhouse, rabbit run and dustbins still in place. Garden nice and tidy. Yay!

Graydawg

LOL - just a wee bit windy here....

What we need is Michael Fish on the telly telling us there's not going to be a storm.

Exactly! A lab monkey infected with the zombie virus, is taking its morning stroll in the compound. The strong wing blows a single monkey tear over the wall, into town, straight into an unsuspecting civilian's Starbucks coffee. Boom! Zombie apocalypse.

So if we all avoid Starbucks, there's no problem.

Let's tackle malaria next.

Apparently leaves are slippery but not everyone knows that

Just reporting that all is OK here struggled into a 15kph headwind, 24c, sun in my eyes this morning, the green leaves are still on the trees, none of my family were killed or injured, although Mrs T sustained a bee sting to the neck.

Just another average day on the Cornish coast, bit disappointing really! The wife was hoping our garden shed would get a battering so we could get a new one Looks like we'll just have to set it on fire for guy fawkes night.

Anything else you want to tell us Mikey

So far, 2 fatalities. However, I quickly looked up the road fatalities for 2012: 1754. Thats just under 5 a day. So if x thousand people did not travel to work then surely it offsets those potential 5 fatalities?

As I work from home, I wasn't bothered. Woke up this morning with the power off and the phone lines off! All sorted now. I missed the Monday morning team talk on the telephone (so disapointed about that). Since heard that one of my team mates was driving around trying to get a phone signal at 9.00am so they could take part(!)

I damaged a finger nail this morning out in the garden... Does that count?

Only if a tree fell on it.
