General Storm Thread

Still dry here at the moment (just).

What is worrying is that its flat calm here- the sea is like a sheet of ice out there. When that rain hits (probably in an hour or so) and unless the wind picks up its going to be an interesting and very wet evening here.

PERFECT for a speedboat.. Grr wish i was down the coast now..

Whenever we take the boat down its never completely calm.

can this event be compared to 2007 ?

I know, our 14 foot boat is sat out there, but wouldn't be wise looking at the radar.

And now the mist is coming down.............

Unlikely.

We had liek 36hrs of constant heavy rain

On that Rain Today radar - is it me or could the band be splitting in half?

[twister2005]

dont think we will see anything like 2007 for a long time

Just back from 5 days in Norfolk and had a great send off this morning. Moored the boat at Horning overnight and was awoken to very heavy rain at 515am and rolling thunder in the distance, fantastic Cg at 530am made all the house and car alarms go off, Storm finally cleared at 7am to leave great sunny skies.

Looks like I missed nothing in Stormless Essex.
