Just got a charming email from my employers.  It basically states that they are aware of the imposing storm, and guaranteed disruption to public transport.  So on that note, could employees possibly find someone who drives to work and car share for the day....  We will be open as normal from 8am, when we expect to see you.... Nice. Rain coming down heavier now.  Wind has dropped.

Your company sounds like its run by the same people mine are! They put out emails to staff when it's going to snow too, telling us that our safety is important but basically get to work or else..The pressure is down to 998mb here.

That's interesting to know, I'm in Dereham, so will probably make that trek to the coast later on to see what it's like Posted Image

Was great in Cromer a couple of weeks ago, Huge Seas, BIG winds, SteveC (also a regular on this thread) got some good pics from the pier.  I was a coward and got mine from up top :-)

 

Here's a link to my pics, I'll try to hunt out SteveC's

Very calm here in addington.

Exciting times ahead but also a little bit scary.

Grew up with strong winds and rain being the norm in the 90s and remember the 87 storm very well.

It's as if we have all forgot what a proper storm is , we have been lucky over the last 10 to 15 years .got a sneaky feeling this one is gonna be quite bad.

Due to concerning posts from well respected posters like jp,Tamara.coast and so in.( apologies for those not mentioned)

Just keep safe everyone.

That is the most important thing.

Will take a look thank you, If you take a look at my profile pic its one I snapped at Walcott, got some really good snaps down there, I went home and came back for the night time high tide and got myself a ring side seat before they blocked the road off lol.

For those of you worried about where your storm is see above - this system was never due to arrive in our region until the morning !

Winds will start to strengthen as it makes landfall in the SW - I suggest you either get you heads down for a few hours or watch the radar, :-)

For anyone wondering where the strong winds are, go check out the MetO strongest wind times map. You'll see that the SE probably wont see strong winds until, say, 3-5am at least.
