i enjoy the power ,but tend to use this as an information forum ,it's great for that i need to know what's coming to stay safe , i've had a lot of damage done over the last few years due to the wind ,and as it's happening i hate it ,gives you a horrible sick feeling in the pit of your stomach ,there is no reason not to enjoy it ,i know cookie does and he's experienced the same storms as we have ,i like being out in it ,it's the damage i don't like,and the noise and house shaking and to be honest it does dismay me a bit when the metoffice doesn't warn us ,we had a neighbor and several other people phone them not long ago and they up graded us to an amber , life here tends to go on as normal up to about 90 mph and you can walk in it ,just a bit of an angle and watching for flying objects i do feel for people in poorer areas of the world ,who don't have access to the computer and have to rely on official warnings as they normally are far short except in certain areas

so sad

merry christmas everyone it can stop now if it wants yesterday wasn't to bad here ,none stop wind most of the day ,and again today i'm worried about that wed storm coming in daughter is meant to be going to uist for a funeral wed cannot see that happening , i wish the snow and frost was back

damage from yesterday ,a couple of chicks killed , the poly tunnel is at a 90 degree angle from were it was as it was going to lift off i had to slash it to be honest gutted next doors tree down

poly has gone with chicks in it,it has rotated around couldn't work out first of all why the table that was at one end was at another ,it's pretty lethal out there still managed to slash some of the plastic in the hope of saving the frame ,tyhink the chicks might be goners ,but we'll look tomorrow morning

jon's blog is confusing at the moment strange things are going on in iceland ,there has been a flood nobody quite knows where from as katla was not involved i do hope it's not a big bang ,having a freind over there who is a vet ,she says they are struggling with livestock and feed ,things in some areas are not growing as they should ,after the last lot,

i have one that's working http://www.ruv.is/katla

katla had a bit of action again last night

i've always been a supporter of gm , there are a lot of things that need looking at ,and the chap is saying it needs looking at before anything more is reliesed ,but some of the finding from this particaler gm crop might be a problem and needs looking at , unfortunatly ,it's pretty specialized ,agronomy is something i'm interested in ,not good at but interested in :blush:

i've tried this in a couple of places to see if people have an opion they don't seem to or it's heavy fairly reading, thought i'd try it here as well ,see if anyone has any ideas or thoughts ,i'm not sure what to think and have an open mind about it ,it takes some carefull reading ,and is quite complicated , http://www.acresusa.com/toolbox/reprints/May2011_Huber.pdf there is a video and a letter to the eu about it as well http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/dr_hubers_warning/#who this is the companies release i think http://www.btny.purdue.edu/weedscience/2011/GlyphosatesImpact11.pdf so if your bored ,
