We lost our Greengage and a couple of plum trees in the '87 storm. 

Its hard to lose trees, especially when they are fruitful and produce well each year.

It's really starting to blow here, we have the usual sideways rain coming down the valley. There have been a couple of trees down blocking a road already.

Amber warning issued by the Met Office and described as a 'Huge Storm' in the Atlantic. The night hours of Sunday through to Monday morning are apparently the worst of what's to come.

Stay safe all...

The wind has dropped a little here now, I think we caught another weather system.

The village where my mum lives about 6 miles away had a mini tornado yesterday, there is all sorts of damage, sheds have gone, trees were uprooted, she's escaped with minor disruption in the garden but some of the neighbours haven't been so lucky.

I hope our good friends in Cornwall are prepared, they have four sheds and a summer house, and they are on the coast.

Nothing scary here at present, a bit breezy but very mild 16c earlier on. Met office weather maps not showing anything particularly significant yet

I think you're going to get the tail end of it in the early hours Dave. It's still very mild here as well, the central heating is still off which makes me happy Smile

I have a bit of a reputation for being mean with the heat.
