South East England/East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 10/02/14

[Mal_UK]

Wind has really picked up again in the last 10 mins. And oh my the rain! Squall line? House is shaking, and it's quite big and sturdy!

[Summer of 76]

Same here the wind is picking up into some powerful gusts which measured the highest for the day about 3o minutes ago.

[fluid dynamic]

helluva squall here now. It was quite peaceful earlier, now we have huge gusts and hail

[abruzzi spur]

Just heard on BBC News that a chap in his 70s killed in Wiltshire whilst trying to clear a tree that brought down power cables.  Believed to have been electrocuted.  Terrible.

Yes, had two of them here in Surbiton while walking son to trampolining; quite an amazing squall line, driving hail and strong wind froze our faces as it pummelled us and twice we turned our backs to it all we were being buffetted so much, bits and pieces from the temporary road walks flying around us. Husband came to pick me up and said it was like a scene from a horror movie as I stood in the pouring rain, hair plastered to my face silhouetted against lightning forking across the sky!

[Storme]

Wind has picked up here a bit. No T/L at present.

83mph gust was the maximum recorded in Cottingham at 7:06pm, think I heard that one.

Sky reporter in Aberystwyth complaining that tiles flew off a roof and nearly hit her on the head as she stood in the gale telling people that they should stay indoors on advice of police because its dangerous.

[Jax]

Don't want to pick a fight, but the Nene is nowhere near the Thames Barrier or any relief plains associated with it.

TBF I did say "here"

I would complain too and then sue the news company I was working for.
