PEMBS PIRATE

the Met office are giving gusts of around 45mph for London about 5pm.....the center of 'Brian' is around Dublin now heading NE i think

no, not as wild as Monday, maybe top out around 70mph +/- a couple today, they give peak here about mid-day.... a mere Autumn breeze for Pembrokeshire

All sent home about 13:00, roads closed because of downed trees, one of ours here hasnt blown over it has snapped off about 5ft off the ground and that is a 25ft conifer, houses have been damaged in the local towns and roads closed to, still like a low drone noise all the time then a howling gust, terrible, worst yet by far.

the strange thing for me is you usually get the strongest wind/gust when it rains, but not today, wind seems to ease a touch when a shower goes through, now here is bright blue sunny sky.......but the wind is horrendous,

http://vts.mhpa.co.uk/current_weatherb.asp and this is in the harbour, got power flashing here now, hear thunder to, but can only just hear it because of the wind howling around the house......

http://vts.mhpa.co.uk/current_weatherb.asp and this is in the harbour, what somewhere like St Anns head would record would be worse stil

Schools out, trees down and sirens going past the house here, lights flashing in here to, i think it will go altogether in a min......really really wild now

Well they say the worst is to come here.......just had a gust go through here snapped a 25ft conifer tree we have around the boundary....whats in store abt 3pm is

Very heavy rain here now, wind has picked up a bit, but the rain is torrential...

unless something is drastically wrong here.....we are suppose to get 70mph+ winds from the SW in front of the 'storm', according to the BBC the low is not far off Pembs coast now (they got that right all along)....but the wind here is 7mph flat calm and drizzle?....and 70+mph from the NW as the low passes through?.....perhaps something drastic will happen as it goes inland?.......stay safe everyone on the south coast i dont envy you one bit under 70+mph winds........good night.
