Thank goodness we had a new roof in the Summer last yr! I feel so sorry for all those living in flooded areas..........

Jenny reporting from Tynemouth here. Police and fire engines out in force. The wind is still horrendous. Four fence panels down in the garden. Haydon Bridge has had a Severe Flood warning. The Tyne is rising fast. Jenny

Now we have hailsstones too. Lorries have overturned on the motorway about a mile and a half away June

Glad to see you are feeling better, June

Harlow Horrible wind in the night, still windy but calmed down a fair bit now. Felt a bit worried in the night but all seems fine. Elaine x

Dry, really bright and sunny, if a bit wild and windy here in south east Kent so we may have got away with it here. Firefighter son may tell us differently, when he comes in though.

blowing a gale in gloucester too.luckily all i have had to rescue was the recycle bin!

Thanks Dilys, just lest with coughs and sneezes and a bad back now, but I'll survive, hope you have avoided it. Love June xx

we live on top of a hill...a big one.... and the wind up here is horrendous. I thought the windows were coming through last night and this morning, and then when I went out to shop, a gust almost blew my car into a bin wagon!

We have just found out more storm damage. Six ridge tiles from our roof are now on the garage roof. Plus three or for slates have vanished. Hubby says about £300 worth of damage. Will have to get son up into the loft when he gets home from work. Just hope the rain has not come in. Not so windy here now though. Jean, daughter is off to The Metro Centre this very minute. Hope all that glass is still intact. Jenny x

Take good care up there folks, it has died down a little here now, with blue sky, don't know how long this is set to last :)

How are you folks this morning?, have seen some terrible pictures on the news, hope you are all ok :)
