Every bloody Town/City north of Swindon have posted exactly this on Facebook, I can't wait until the North gets the worse weather that is 100mph winds and actually endangours lives  I wasn't getting at any of those now suffering from Storm Eunice. Wouldn't wish it on anyone..but just to set the record straight, winds of well over 100mph were recorded, including 120mph in Eyemouth just a few miles from here, the roof was taken off a local vets surgery, a famous coastal park In Dunbar was denuded of trees, and several people died, including one in Northumberland from hypothermia because power was not restored for two weeks......and two police officers were spared when their car was crushed whilst they were a few yards down the road tending one of the fatalities. Certainly not a competition, but it was a fearful thing here, and I hope others benefit from the warnings and planning for this storm. |

Its still eerily fucking still here, despite the BBC weather app suggesting we are presently suffering 47mph winds!

Lost a fence panel so far. Ironically not the one I was expecting. It is early and I expect it to get much worse. I do need to do one side of the garden this year anyway, so any damage only expedites the replacement.

We're swerving it all completely. For once. Lots of snow, though. |

Christ alive, I don't like flying at the best of times but think I'd be done for life if I was on one of those. |

Decided to have some of my now vintage home made cider seeing as I’m not driving today, I could also be fucked figuratively speaking in an alcoholic sense. |

On the North/South (making more of a fuss) thing; its always been the case.
2 reasons:
1 Its less common down here, and the infrastructure takes more of a battering as its less built for it.
2 Most of the media types live around London.
Exactly the same with floods; mate who works in the industry compared the lack of fuss over flooding in the North vs the coverage of (far less serious) flooding of the Thames around Windsor etc.
He described the effect as 'When the effluent hits the affluent',
Either way, stay safe all!
