storm damage
 

Wondering how everyone fared with the storms sweeping UK. We are in
N.Ireland
and the very high winds uprooted a eucalyptus
and it fell on my favourite Euphorbia that had
buds on every stem. In addition we had missing tiles and broken aerial.

Lancs:

Three panels from fence disappeared, two panes of glass from greenhouse roof
AWOL....various tubs, planters and boxes swirling around like dead leaves.

North Yorkshire in a fairly windy spot - gusts to 90mph. Woke up this
morning to loud noises and lots of very gusty wind. The power was
erratic and looking out showed why. A neighbour's large beech tree was
down across the road, held up in part by the new 3 phase mains cable.
The cable support poles were all bent like bananas! Mine is one of the
few fixed line phone connections still working.

All roads from the village blocked by fallen trees. Spent most of the
day helping clear roads. Garden shed totally annihilated - became a sort
of bent and twisted semi-flat pack. Otherwise we only lost a few roof
tiles and are praying nothing more serious hits us tonight. Repairs are
needed and the weather is still too active for compfort.

A couple of villagers lost serious chunks of roof tiles, the village
hall suffered roof damage and its old weather vane flew off.

Compared to the floods in Carlisle it seems we got off lightly.

Martin Brown

At the top end of Wensleydale we got off comparatively lightly. There
was a howling wind, rain and sleet all through the night,and early
morning. There is a fair amount of flooding around and about in the
fields, but the town does not seem to have suffered any damage worth
talking about. One 15 inch diameter sycamore fell over just on the
other side of the river, causing no serious damage.

Nothing here (Cambridge). Strong winds predicted, but only very
moderate ones occurred.

Here in Wisbech there were very strong winds. I lost a dead tree. but
otherwise suffered no damage however all around branches off, trees down
etc.

Devon: plenty of wind blowing windows and doors shut and dustbins around,
but no visible damage. We weren't in the forecast hotspots though.

Strong wind and heavy rain in North Lincs. A very large and very old
hawthorn tree came down onto a sleeper built compost box and uprooted
part of a dyke. No crisis, but lots of repair and clearing work to do.

Same in this bit of Devon - one or two slates off the house and some pots
blown over, though not broken, thank goodness. But I noticed that the River
Dart at Staverton bridge was very high yesterday so I think Dartmoor must
have seen a lot more rain than we have here.

Just dead branches and twigs down here on the N. Wales coast, inland
serious flooding in Llanrwst and some low lying fields flooded in the
Vale of Clwyd. Whilst out yesterday afternoon in the Clwydians I saw
cleared remains of sizable trees by the roadside in several places.
The winds during the week got our bonfires going like good uns in the
area we're clearing for replanting.

What part of NI are you in ?

I had two bay trees blown over and the pots smashed - I also had a bush
basically wrecked by the wind- virtually nothing but the base left.
