Cranfield Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Did anyone get affected by "The Storm" we were supposed to get last night and today ? I live in an open exposed area, so its often windy, but our cottage is low profile, so it has little effect. Last night it was windy, but not excessive about 30-35 mph I would guess. We didn't get the heavy rain that was forecast. Did they get it wrong again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 the weather is great here, a bit rough last night but not what was forecasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 We didn't get it too bad here last night but about ten minutes ago there was a sudden change in something... and some very stong winds came along with pouring rain. ps. Not sure if any of you remember but about 6 months ago i had a barn demolished by a skip lorry (there were pics in the pics section here) not a thing has been done by the insurance company and this wind has just ripped some more of the roof off along with a part of the wall :( so far since the accident happend, in may, the hole in the farmyard has got about 6 foot wider each side because of the weather.

pin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Power has been off since 11:00am... The hit was very close! A little bit of thunder last night also. Was that in Herts? We had what I would call "a bit of a storm" here, wind got up, few belts of lighting and a few loud cracks. Some surface flooding, but nothing major at all.

Ian D Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Very wet here over night and this morning. :( Got very wet out shooting this morning, but the sun got out this afternoon. A couple of drive were unshootable, due to flooding. Regards, Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16 Bore Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Not too windy here. We did have a fair bit of rain in the night though. The river on the farm has broken it's banks and has created a lovely shallow splash of about 3/4 acre. There were about 20 Mallard on it this morning but guess what the one thing I'm not allowed to shoot on that farm is..............

Ferret Master Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Each step with my flat soled shoes on the rugby pitch today was like skating on ice. It got churned up badly due to the weather although we have had no real rain since 11AM At one point it got very windy and that resulted in me making a mad dash from the clubhouse where I was checking the England score at half time to catch the points that had blown off the board and going across the pitch.

kip270 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The weather here has been awfull for nearly two weeks. The wind was very strong last night and it is the same again tonight, and lots of rain too But no STORM to talk of really :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16 Bore Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Actually kipper, it's a large Dairy farm and I'm dreading the day that I'm there at the wrong time and he wants me to shoot one Lucky the cows are now in for the winter as the dairy is one side of the river and the grazing is now the other side of the splash.

M ROBSON Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I was out shooting a local inland marsh last night, we had 10-15 mph winds and then it tipped it down as soon as we stopped shooting. Had a great flight with 1 Pink, 2 Wigeon and 3 Mallard. I was out on the foreshore tonight and it was about 15-20mph until we got back to the car, again it tipped it down and the wind near doubled in strength! It was a great night, Cheers, Mark.
