Storm Eunice - 18th February
Derbyshire_snow replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
These people that question these warnings need to get a grip they were forecast 80-90mph down south. The winds were not that strong here and it brought trees down and ripped tiles off 1 of which came within couple of foot of potentially killing me. So if these warnings save lives I am all for them what would these people rather have a warning or no warning at all and end up potentially getting seriously injured or worse . -
Storm Eunice - 18th February

Thanking my lucky stars after this came off my roof as I came out the house if that had hit me I dont think I would he here today. The tiles on my roof were flapping in the wind I hope these forecasted gales stay away tomorrow don't want anymore damage. Saw the news too and saw that people had lost their lives due to falling trees if just goes to show you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time a clue of feet the other way and that could have been me. I love a good storm like the rest of us on here but it is a stark reminder of the unforgiving power of mother nature that takes no prisoners. My heart goes out to the families of those that sadly lost their lives to Storm Eunice too ❤ -

I think people are being naive to think that Storm Dudley won't do much damage too many are brushing it off as nothing. Especially for the North there are tens of thousands of properties in the North East that are still repairing their roofs from Storm Arwen with many still missing parts of their roof/tiles and having work done on them it won't take much to completely destroy people's roofs and that is just for a start. -
Storm Dudley - Weds 16th and Thurs 17th
Derbyshire_snow replied to Summer Sun's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Funny you should mention the 60th anniversary of the Great Sheffield Gale as it was known I nly had this conversation with my dad about this the other day. From reading up about the winds they were caused by a temperature inversion which lead to a rapid rise in windspeeds. We can only hope and pray that doesn't occur this time around.
