[Weather-history]

Beginning to wonder if the crane towers building Carrington Power Station are going to endure this.

from another forum

 

Wind has died down a little in Devon atm.However,just had the garden turn white in seconds from an unexpected hail storm,followed by a huge flash of lightening and simultaneous giant (in a house shock 'wtf',cover your ears) bang of bloody thunder.Only one lot though!

 

[Miamay]

Fingers crossed for you SparkleS. Im gonna get me tea on now before elecy goes off. Everton match still on !!!

[pip22]

Stoke, Crewe, Macclesfield stations now shut due to fallen lines

I think West Coast Mainline should be closed North of Crewe nothing mind Preston. It is bad enough here.

Lights still flickering wild outside

I can hear sirens where i live, we arent far from the M6 motorway links....must be something going on somewhere.We also live right in front of a fire station, its scary as their tower is almost a garden feature for us lol hope that stays up!

[itsnowjoke]

Just been to the shop takes ya breath away them gusts but quiet inbetween.

[feb1991blizzard]

Lettuce boring weather, this is not a patch on snow but still better than summer sun, went out to get a meal you don't have to cook in case and had to dodge flying branches and allsorts.

[theskyatnight]

whens the peak for this in the north west out of curiousity?

[feb1991blizzard]

Peak still between 7 and 9?

 

About an hour or so time but still damaging gusts possible an hour after that.

[toggerob]

51mph now in Buxton, lights flicking and sound outside is pretty horrendous even outside of the strongest windfield area.

[toggerob]

Breaking: Manchester Fire Service have re-called all off duty officers.
