[SparkleS]

He wont be saying that when the lights go out! And im not meaning valentines day! Lol

This is sounding pretty scarey now. I can't remember the last time we've had winds and gusts for such a prolonged period and at this strength. Lights flickering, windows creaking, howling down the chimney.

[paul m]

You all ok over there...

From the Beeb

 

Virgin Trains said in a later tweet: "We are advising all customers not to attempt to travel. Customers already on services will be taken to the nearest station."

It also said all services out of London Euston were suspended until further notice due to adverse weather.

 

And

 

The M60 Barton High Level Bridge in Greater Manchester is closed in both directions. A lorry has overturned on to a car.

Really hope it passes quickly for all of you. It's bad here at the moment 

[SparkleS]

Strange the gusts arent as frequent, seems to be calming or more calm inbetween gusts...thought it was meant to oeak around now?

[pip22]

According to the BBC reporter in Blackpool it is due to peak at 9pm. You gotta be joking right? It is worse enough right now.

[theskyatnight]

just as i thought it was dying down...had about 20 minutes of slighly calmer weather now it is worse than before

[ianshortall]

Very windy in New Brighton slate just fell onto roof of the car, not a night for being out.

[Chris D]

Not seen a Red wind warning for the north-west for a very long time...folks back in Southport saying their lights are flicking and stuff is shaking. Pretty amazing this storm. Slightly worse to come? I dunno but gusting well into 70mph at the coast it seems

 

Back down here we're still living in effectively what is a rather large lake lol.

[itsnowjoke]

gone a bit calmer now but stilk chucking it down.

[jennywren]

Lights flickering here in Maghull! Sounds really nasty outside and we live near some very tall trees...gulp.

[Miamay]
