Topic: The weather TODAY in... (Part 2)

[Nigel B]

HOWLING wind here... has been like this for the last week...getting sick and tired of it now...

Its bad enough down here in the Vale of Clwyd mate, and we have trees and things to slow it down somewhat. It must be blowing your hair off up there tonight.

Nigel..I have never know such sustained WIND...it is now a week since it started and apart from a lull or two when the gusts changed direction a bit (and we became a little more sheltered) the force has just been mental...What has been weird is that normally with a gale you get wind then rain, then it blows through clears up and bobs your relative...but until this morning when the rain set in  there has been NO MORE than a speckle 2minute shower....just constant ROARING wind.
one of the neighbours 60  yds or so up the lane has an extremely tall Scots pine in his garden and we know when the wind is gale force by the bits of it that rain down on us here...a three foot branch from the top sailed over yesterday at about 60ft high to land in the field behind the next door neighbour on the other side of us...

Had enough now..resetting the stones/bricks etc on my cloches every hour or so.. (theyre big cloches at 25ftish long 6ft wide and 2ft6 high..it is a nightmare...fingers crossed the wind seems to have dropped a tad today but it is tipping down now...it will be floods next then...yes we are between two rivers and built on a flood plain...might try rice growing if this goes on, alwaays look on the bright side of life de do de dedodedodo-do
