Default How is everyone doing with the winds?

Hi all

Just wondering how you are all doing with the high winds. Here in my part of Kent, we have high winds but not so far as bad as 1989:0)

Keep safe.

It didn't get to me till late morning and apart from the power going off for about five hours it wasn't that bad.

We had very gusty winds for most of the morning but they gradually eased during the afternoon and all safe.

Sick of the winds, it seems to have been every day since Storm Arwen back in November. That was our worst one, 114mph and hardly a house without damage in the region.

Thankfully here in Kent it was windy but nothing like 1989 when the hurricane hit us. Sevenoaks became one oaks:0) And it has taken at least thirty years for trees etc to get back to anything like it was:0)
