Storm Winds.

OMG, That bloody howling wind, The fence out the back will be down by morning, it can't keep taking this punishment. It's been fixed so many times over the last few years and was almost down a couple of weeks ago. The gales set for the next 12 hours or so, I hate the wind, out of all the different weather types we get I have always hated the wind most, closely followed by snow.
Anybody else being blown to bits tonight?

Re: Storm Winds.

Dreadful here, the wind is whistling around the windows in the sun lounge & all the petals are blowing off the Magnolia tree in the front garden, it's also raining hard, sounds like gun fire on the sun lounge roof. Dies down for a while then comes back strong again. Our fence could well blow down too, which will be fraught, as I don't talk to my next door neighbours.
I think they called this storm Freya, Roxy?

Wow! I see what you mean. That is some kind of low pressure system!

Just wondering, but what kind of fence do you have that keeps blowing over?

Hold on tight .

Re: Storm Winds.

Yes it's that alright, Storm Freya they are calling this wee breeze. It's one of those silly pannel fences, they have no gap to let the wind through. But actually it's the posts that are the problem, some have come loose and they need to be resunk in new concrete.
Hope your doing Ok Tiffany.

Re: Storm Winds.

Freya has arrived here !!! - Gale force winds and driving rain. Just as well the builders repaired my leaking flat roof last week - now being sorely tested again.

Get it replaced imo. With "hit and miss" panels and good concrete posts. May look "average" but will weather the storms
