And the wind doth blow!

As heavy winds batter the UK today here are a couple of photos showing some of the damage on my street.

I realise in global terms this is nothing, but in this temperate part of the world (Rotherham, South Yorkshire) weather damage like this is so rare that I have not seen anything like it in my life and I am 41!

In the first picture where the top of the chimney is suspended only by the TV aerial cable I have already been round to warn the occupants not to use their front door!





If anyone has taken similar pictures today please feel free to add them here if you wish.

Yup Bad here in london also, My garden looks like a tip,

Tree damage, shed all over the place ill get some pics later,

I've seen branches from tree's broken off and a tree uprooted not a big tree but still a tree.

It looks like the winds have effected most of the UK.

it hasn't been incredibly bad in this area of Essex but there are alot of fence panel's that have been blown down.
I have heard that a few Lorries have been overturned and that branches are over the roads in and around London...
