I lost a trampoline. It turned up in an oak tree. No sign of the Mrs yet though.

This is why we share the message to #RespectTheWater and stay clear of exposed coastal areas and breaking waves.
If you see someone in trouble in the water, call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard. pic.twitter.com/cpbrGxBQJc
Funnily enough I was discussing this with my son in law this afternoon. One of his fixed panels had become loose and I reckoned the best way to avoid this to let the wind through by having gaps in the panels. Think he is going to secure the posts better.
Does seem a bit of an issue which surely could be resolved better.
I have a long hedge one side and a wall the other. No panels for me, thankyou very much.
Storm Ciara has blown the roof off the local cheese factory...
There's de brie everywhere
Its been snowing here in Nottingham
Driving back from Bristol today at about 11.30ish and a lorry overturned to the side of me on the eastbound side of the bridge, tried to stop and help but the wind was so strong it was picking my van up, i crawled across the bridge, wasn't a nice experience. Back in september i was travelling east bound on the new bridge and i saw a truck go over the side of the bridge as it got to the bottom, i was in the outside lane and the truck lost control and came towards me, i shit myself, it ended up going over the top of the barrier and the driver was killed. I'm a f ucking jinx.
In very high winds your vehicle gets battered by stones and sand from below incredible as though this may seem given the height involved. In even higher winds the bridge is closed to high sided vehicles and in even worse conditions all vehicles irrespective of size. My guess is that since the tolls have been removed absolute closures have been reduced. It's pretty scary crossing the bridge in high winds as the above post confirms.
Our driver this morning sensibly got me home in 2.5 hours instead of the hour 50 it should have taken (less if you drive a bit above the limit as many do)
He said "sorry we're back late lads"
I replied "**** the apologies we were all asleep, not like you've cost us time"
Weather didn't seem that bad where I was sat night/Sunday until we got to early hours Monday when it started to hammer down. Then as I woke up briefly on the bridge I noticed the van getting a battering...
