Just had messages from the school's they're all shut tomorrow due to the incoming storms, trains are also cancelled in our area and apparently they are having a government meeting. Don't think we have had a red warning all stay in doors in our area, so we are expecting some pretty strong winds. Is this just south Wales or your areas also? |

Yesterday, me and middle daughter went out to get our nails done. I was acting like it was gonna be the end of the world if we didn’t get home for the storm at 4pm 
Aye, it was a bit windy but nothing like the uprooting of trees I’d been expecting |

Haha I was the exact same! Had my daughter and her friend out and I was in a panic thinking we have to get her and us home before this kicks off, then nada. Tomorrow does look like a three pegger, as Windy Wilson would say, but I have plans I'm pretty determined to keep so we'll just see how it goes. |

To be fair, I'm working in my garden In an outdoor office and its been getting worse since just after midday, next door have a green house that's like a tent and I think that's going to take off any moment.
But I'm sure it won't be as bad as they're saying it will be. |

We've been told to WFH and all lessons to be online tomorrow. Mainly because they've already cancelled the TfW trains that bring some staff in and they anticipate further travel disruption. By sending it all online ahead of the event, lessons aren't cancelled AND people aren't put in danger by standing about at train stations or driving on motorways. We're used to it after COVID anyway (WFH/teaching online!) |

You can't get on with life if you're dead due to a tree landing on your van, your train derailing or being blown over the prom and out to sea. If there's danger to life from the storm, it's best to reduce the number of people out and about at risk. The emergency services don't need to be putting themselves at risk to retrieve those who think they're invincible. |

Getting fed up of playing chase the dustbin. Notified dustbin collection will be as usual today and to put dustbin in safer area so as not to get blown over. No chance of that as wind direction on bin all the time. Normal collection time for bin is around 7-8am. Not collected yet and no update from council |

It is very strong here in medway at my sisters, might be working down to you later. She has lost half of her garden fence so far and on another bit an old established jasmine bush completely ripped off. Going crazy here now. |

Neighbour's chimney has came crashing down, broken some of his roof and debris has gone into another neighbour's garden, apart from that not much really. Maybe it's moving on now as they said until 12 on the warning. |
