It's a rough old day.

David I did see you quoting an 81 mph gust but the official stats record the highest gust at 84 mph. In 22 years of living here, I've never seen gusts like today. Whilst Leylandii stood bolt upright as they do, 20 foot multi-trunked conifers were turning horizontal at about the 6 foot point. I'm surprised none snapped off. I did lose some branches from the whitebeam (which lost all its leaves by the end of September) but other trees still in leaf stood up to the onslaught save for a large part of a hornbeam which I'll have to tackle tomorrow if the wind reduces. It was that which took out my weather station - some 3-4 metres away. It's returned sort of upright but I can see the split in the branch. I'm not checking anything till tomorrow, but 8 hours with the wind gusting to 63mph and over makes last weeks "Storm" look pathetic. David |
