Storm Eunice - 18th February
skyblusam replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
I live on the top of the Isle of Portland in Dorset. It gets very windy here at the best of times our roof is already missing 2 ridge tiles and a tile still awaiting repair (private rental). I'm now getting a little worried about this coming off as severe as currently looks. I'll definitely be telling the Mrs to park away from the building as the last tile landed next to the car and I'm not to optimistic with the strength of the roof. It's already weak from said missing bits so the wind can get under it. Plus the property is south/south west facing with no real shelter. -

All the bust/negative comments lol. I can safely say it's no bust in this part of Dorset. Lightning very close and loud thunder almost overhead. This has been going on for hours now. And there's been much more lightning than all the detectors are showing. So certainly not a bust in my neck of the woods -

I'm Tophill on Portland facing the channel seen quite a few flashes and almost constant rumbling thunder. It seems to be a lull at the moment. But can still hear rumbles in the distance. -

I'm on the top of Portland Dorset. And have a clear view of the channel from my sofa looking south/south east. If we get anything who knows but I'll definitely be chilling with the curtains open. The ironic thing is my home town Coventry has had loads of storms in the 2 years I've been here. I've had 2 or 3. And my mate always rubs it in by sending me video's lol. Good luck all it could be a bumpy ride -
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm in portland Dorset. I've been under snow and now sleet for over 3 hours. And not a drop has made it to the ground its all evaporated lol. I'm always checking the midlands thread as I'm from Coventry but moved here 2 years ago. And it's nice to see some of you have had snow this winter(jealous) lol.

I've recently moved from Coventry to portland Dorset. My first thoughts when we moved was I'm bound to see loads of storms down on the south coast. But it now seems I'm on the wrong part of the coast lol. Obviously i know its more or less a bust around these parts. But on the bright side i can see out to sea from my sofa. So as summer goes on I've got a perfect veiw for storms if they happen. Anyway enjoy your storms for those that get them and stay safe. -
Take no notice of met and BBC symbols as there fully automated and have no human input. So will always chop and change. If it snows it snows if it don't it don't. But we all need to remember no model is necessarily 100% right. The snow could be north or south of predicted path. Radar will be best to use when the system is in view.
