Storm Eowyn

[hssdrs]

We are sitting watching the rubbish flying everywhere but it's the neighbours 40+ foot fence { council house } that is now rocking back & forward that is a worry as it's on a public lane.

A question though, I've seen people saying your car insurance doesn't cover you for driving in a red warning but I work with vulnerable people who rely on me being there, I can't be off. Does anyone know if there's any truth in that or is it just a hype thing going around?

Watching Big Jet TV on YT live from Heathrow airport.

Some hairy landings there.

In the red area. Transport cancelled, school cancelled, bins cancelled and local Tesco has been ransacked oh and a rather nice alert on the phones that scared the bejesus out of folk! Been red alert since 10am but phones pinged about 5:45pm so if there was a nuke we’d be deed well before the alert 🫣 stay safe everyone - we survived hurricane bawbag, we can survive this

I cannot wait for the trampoline videos

That alert was not the one. I got it through my Apple Watch and nearly jumped oot my skin

 

[Miscanthus]

I'm in yellow area (south east) but what a night. Hardly slept as it's so wild outside.

Belfast here, sounds mad out there

It's giving me horror movie vibes!

Our dog won't go out either, won't even go into the garden when it's stormy, try to find the nearest little patch of grass near your home?

We're just surrounded by trees round here (as well as roofs). Mine's normally a big scaredy cat, but was very brave this morning. He's scared of the dark as well though so I'm just going to attempt to get him out now I think.

I'm rural coastal and it is really wild there's s lot of trees down in the treeline behind my house. Bangor leisure centre is fucked!

 

[Rach472]

My powers been off since 11.30am and I've a fence down!

The storm has settled here now, just rain.

My husband’s grandmother passed early this morning. He was with her in the hospital and it was peaceful

Sorry for your loss, I'm glad he got to be with her

Stay safe everyone.

 

[LittleMy]

I'm in the eye of the storm in centre Scotland.
Very windy 85+ winds.
Still have power
Stay safe everyone x

Same here, I’ve seen tiles falling off roofs and my neighbours fences/sheds collapsing

Luckily we still have power too. Stay safe and indoors if you can everyone

 

[RinsedHoops]

Waiting for our new “trampoline, trampoline” moment

 

[LittleMy]

Thank you both

We’ve just had snow and now it’s sunny. This is truly wacky weather

 

[Veronicaaa]

My neighbourhood WhatsApp group has been pinging all day - flashing flying off roofs, big branches down, garages and sheds destroyed. Most recent is a neighbour a few doors up saying a big tree outside his house is on the verge of coming down - he's phoned emergency services but it's just to warn us.

My question is, about the dog! I thought it would have died down by now but I'm actually scared to go outside with him, but he needs out. What to do?

 

[kazizzle]

It's wild out there. Also realised how bad the draught is in my house - have a draught excluder on my front door but nothing on my back door and the door from my living room in to the kitchen keeps moving with the wind coming from the back door. Know we have had a few trees and lamposts down in the wider area but most people still seem to have power.

 

[Rosie glow]

I'm in east Midlands rain has stopped it's windy but not the 50mph they forecast due to be past us by midday we are pretty lucky where we are with storms we never get the full impact
Hope everyone stays staff wherever you are especially in the red warning areas I know not everyone can stay at home

 

[TheMan]

Derry area here, can we expect our house to be flattened

 

[NeverEnough]

North East England. We’re predicted to dodge the very worst but even here the winds must be 50-60 at a guess. The journey to work today should be ”interesting”.

I was watching BBC News channel discussing the weather, as the Earth warms by every 1C the faster the Jet Stream - (5km up above) becomes, bringing more powerful weather systems.
For this storm the Jet Stream picked up the unusual snowfall which had been dumped on Texas & Louisiana for the 1st time in decades, that moisture evaporated, pressure dropped low & winds increased to 250mph as the Jet Stream sent the storm across the Atlantic to us.
