There's not much more than alot of wind here. Land is completely nuts, code red code red. Boohoo. I should get on my bike and see how fast I can go - with the wind pushing me, ofcourse.
Goodluck for you guys in England!

RE: Potential Storm For UK - Jedi - 2013-10-28 09:01
Wow Saffy. Stay safe.
Im going to bet the area around Military road is taking a beating.
Hows Sandown beach in this?
RE: Potential Storm For UK - Saphira - 2013-10-28 09:03
The islands a mess, worst hit area so far from the storm.
Sand everywhere "sighs" big clean up now, the council are working flat out
RE: Potential Storm For UK - Luke - 2013-10-28 10:37
Lake district is prittey bad, most of the mountain walks are shut off because of high winds, most of the roads are flooded and the lake is really high from torrential rain. On the way there we nearly got hit by a lorry that was caught in a gust of wind.
The UK is not used to such high wind and abnormal weather! Although, being the typical UK we do seem to exaggerate it a bit but be safe everyone
RE: Potential Storm For UK - Shino - 2013-10-28 10:38
There's nothing where I am except from a bit of rain.
RE: Potential Storm For UK - Saphira - 2013-10-28 10:38
