just lost the fence in south Essex

[Summer of 76]

Rain is coming down really hard now and wind picking up.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Trees down all over the place here :/ got a few pics

[Steve C]

Just lost some roof tiles.

That's the total pain in these situations.

Strongest winds so far here just now. Windows creaking. Banging noises outside.

[geri2k]

Omg this is some scary stuff

[Essexgooner]

First fence panel gone 

[A Wintry Mix]

Seems to be getting a bit calmer!

[Isabellesnanny]

Thought the storm would be passing through Croydon area between 3and 4 this morning but looking at the forum looks as though we may still have it come is this still the case?

[Country Boy]

On Essex coast, wind picking up in gusts, and they have just turned the wind turbines off

[Rob Deacon]

in last 5 mins it seems to of calmed down a bit, is that the worst of it for me now i wonder

[Steve C]

Well erm....

It was windier yesterday so far

If Carol's isobaric chart was absolutely accurate, you'll have a different opinion in a couple of hours. She also mentioned Our area (Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Herts and north London) is due for something nasty very soon.

Winds are REALLY picking up here now! 

[Country Boy]

5 wind turbines near me, three have just been stopped, next two hours is worrying here as I am rural and live in a parkhome

Steve,

 

Can agree with that as the rain has started and the wind is really picking up here.

[saint]

Wind really picking up here.

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

Am impressive 15.1C outside at the moment, means we are still well in the warm sector. Definite temperature drop 5-6C on the other side of the squall line

[Mesoscale]

We had a very heavy wind gust here, I had to hold on to my fence it was soo strong.

[Jason T]

Its kicking off now,OMG

[Rob Deacon]

roads are busy with people leaving for work as normal, guess I better leave now from peacehaven to burgess hill.

wowzers.... Rather windy I dare say. I am a bit concerned about my conservatory roof, it seems to be lifting slightly.

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning al, I hope everyone is safe !

A wet and windy night has turned into something really wild in the last 40 minutes or so here - the wind has a roar to it and the rain is lashing down !

I'm not sure at the moment, it's strange given the forecast to wake up to just a moderate breeze and clear skies. Maybe the triangle of doom is playing it's non-event trumpcard again 

Anyway have to go on a double decker bus to Norwich soon, because the government thinks it's much safer than taking a train

[Me & angel fiance]

wish I could talk my son out of heading out in about an hour for work. He has only been driving about a month so not too experienced.. I have the tv on saying about the saying about the worst not here yet, and reading reports on here but he just says 'oh its not that bad'.. yes son I would love to be proved wrong.

Been some very strong gusts here over past hour. I couldn't sleep due to noise and pain so been up watching. Keep getting calmer periods but seems to be more gusty each time it picks back up. 

[Soaring Hawk]

Someone flicked a switch and it has just gone from windy to crazy.  Am surrounded by huge trees and can't believe the angle they are at.  The air is full of flying debris and it is howling.  Windows creaking. Those cars I saw driving out a bit earlier as they thought we were through the worst of it......  I'm not going anywhere.

[Callie]

Just lost some roof tiles.

 

Same here, lost several ridge tiles

[80sWeather]

Squall just going thru here in Godmanchester, just about to get on the bike to work arggge!
