There have been a lot of crushed cars on TikTok, Porsches, buses, vans and an Aston disadVantage which had been crushed by a garage https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLr6F7j3/

Strongest wind so far here, feels like the walls are moving!

[nuttinnew]

The wind is picking up again here (still at ~40mph), it's forecast to be strongest around 19:00 at mid 50s mph, then yoyo through tomorrow.

Worth a phone call to Kansas? See if they landed there?

This storm today seems worse than Eunice.

Nope…

This storm today seems worse than Eunice.

I thought it was about as bad as Eunice yesterday around 7pm but there wasn’t even a warning around that time. Wind direction was different too so even more trees battered.

Looking at the weather radar there’s already another storm in the middle of the Atlantic which looks like it’ll get here in a few days time

Got back home last night half expecting to see a ridge tile through the back windscreen of the 330, but all fine.

Have had to move the cars this morning though as overnight 3-4 ridge tiles have been blown off, with 2.5 now sat in the valley of the main roof and the rest having landed on next door's driveway! Thankfully the neighbour had started leaving their car further near the road on his driveway as he'd had a few bits blowing off his own roof in the last week or so.

I expect getting hold of a roofer in the next few days is going to be tricky.

Without the sound on, they almost look like football players faking falling over for a foul

Ouch to that 3-car collection at the start

The (redundant) aerial that's mounted to the top part of the gable end of my house made a partially successful bid for freedom the other night. The loft room window below it has started to leak, and I strongly suspect the two things are related. Got a roofer coming Wednesday to take a look.

[dinny_g]

I was only saying to the other half that I want the, also redundant, aerial on our new place taken down.

We left it too late in our past place (It was attached to the chimney stack) and the vibrations caused the Flaunching to crack, which broke two or 3 tiles on the roof when it fell onto the roof (out of sight) and I only noticed the leaking in the loft by chance.

The previous owners of our place had aerials in every room upstairs and a spider's web of co-ax in the loft. It'll all come out. No need any more

Aye
Have seen some pics of the Thames overflowing as well. I don't think the Barrier was raised this time, I think it was more wind driven than super high tide.

A friend's C63 has been been battered by tiles; at least one headlight broken, bonnet, both wings, both bumpers dented and/or scratched, windscreen broken, etc etc

I moved the e30 away from the house on Friday, but moved it back Saturday. Had a few squeaky bum moments when the wind was whipping up again last night!
