    High Winds

    I was just wondering what nightmares people are waking up to this morning?
    We have been lucky compaired to some of our neighbours with only two tiles coming loose, my weather vane being snapped down and our back fence blown over.
    Just heard the weather forecast on sky and it looks like the winds are going to get worse later this morning before easing off this afternoon.
    I hope you have avoided the worst of the winds ? and your homes arnt damaged, but here in the Boro its a nightmare at the mo .
    And I got out of bed at 02:00 to go fishing not a chance in hell

      Never ever known it as bad as this. It\'s usually pretty bad here anyway with being so high up. Havn\'t been outside yet this morning to check for damage. Sure to be something missing.

          Just been to the shop for ciggy papers and notice a fire engine over the road, me being me, went to ask if I could help (always wanted to be a hero), no came the reply, so I asked what had happened , to be told that a chimney had been blown down and thro the roof trapping a 10 year old girl in her attic room.
          The only way the brigade could get her was thru the roof, she had been stuck since 3:00 this morning and her parents only noticed at 09:30.

                  Aye, it were a bit breezy - and still is. no electricity out here still, went off at 4am. Soem muckel big trees down. Stanhope high street, if anyone knows it, the trees there must be getting on for a hundred years old, snapped clean at the base! some 4foot in diameter. River at eastgate has burst its banks, so, Ell, Yer ma might have a water feature at the caravan now. Never seen the ford in stanhope as high, a good 6 feet over the top of the stepping stones., to cap it all the rain turned to a complete blizzard for while out here.

                  we lost about a square meter of the roof, so have been mopping up all morning,

                  found out bin half way up the fell this morning when I was out with the dog.

                  the boat decided to jump off the trailer as well!

                    Aye they were big old trees in Stanhope mate. Never even heard of the ford being that high. That Snow was pretty bad this morning just went shopping when it started.

                          remember the luton van last year that got stuck, driver rescued by helicopter etc?? Didn\'t make the news, but after they were rescued, the van was there a couple of days. It was loaded with brand new, smeg, range style cookers. The following day, river equally high the van was still there, but the shutter was up and the van empty! Somehow someone managed to not only get to the van and open the shutter but to carry 8 huge cookers back out, all under the cover of darkness!

                          last tiem I saw the wear as high as this was years ago whjen the bridge at eastgate got washed away. If you got the ford, the river is nearly at road level if that gives you an idea of how high it is!
