Windchill and wind high, my baseball cap (keeping rain out of my eyes) and headphone combination regularly tried to leave my head.
Wheelie bins were being blown across gardens moving many feet until they dug in or hit something, I reckon a few cars will be damaged. Rotten twigs / branches falling.
Its not as bad as 1987 as I remember it, we were out with chainsaws clearing roads of fallen trees then.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
I must admit, due to these strong winds I am very concerned about the caravan on my front drive and the trampoline in my back garden.
Yesterday I didn't even have a caravan or a trampoline.
I remember next door but one's trampoline taking off, flying across next door's garden & landing next to one of the cars, might have been the Fiat Seicento, or possibly the Corolla.
I'd peered out of the window & thought it looked a bit odd down the bottom of the garden & so it proved.
Though not as odd as when the dying alder tree blew over and landed on the end of the carport some years later.
That was because the wind was blowing down the valley, boyo, rather than up the valley as is more usual.
