    We are now well battened down here but I had to go out and take down a frame tent in the garden that we were using as storage while we sorted stuff out in the house and of course before I did that we had to pull a load of things back into the house :(

    I don't think this is going to compare to last February's storm in anyway but it would be good to hear what the conditions are like in different areas and what, if any, extra precautions people are taking.

    Here at 10 pm its just wet and windy (not far from the sea) but I was worried because its supposed to get much worse around 3 am tomorrow (Monday) morning.

    One thing I forgot to do was sharpen the chainsaw :o I would expect with all the leaves on the trees to find a few trees down in the morning.
