South East England & East Anglia Regional Discussion - Part 3

[Steve C]

I've got some rather dodgy ridge tiles on the garage roof at the moment, I think I might park a bit further up the drive just in case

..... it will save the builders a job if that part of the roof blows off though because (as long as we get planning permission) that part of the house is going to be extended later in the year to create a new west wing !

That would be a thing you'd kick yourself for.

I remember losing a tile a few years ago, while I was having a shower. I couldn't believe the amount of noise it made on the way down! It was like 'Jeez, what the hell was that!'

[Methuselah]

Well I never! I've never heard a roof tile 'blow-off' before!

[Snowangel-MK]

Well I never! I've never heard a roof tile 'blow-off' before!

Really ? I saw a complete house roof 'blow off' in 1987

[tinybill]

lookiing at the showers on the radar could get a bit of action soon!!!!

Metoffice warning for thurs into friday....gales and rain. Damage to trees is "likely"

Laura Tobin just said 60-70mph around coasts

Edit: ooops just seen mk's post above

Similar warnings to what we have in winter. Weird to see it for June I must say.

Anyway I can't see anything happening here apart from a twig falling off a tree.

50mph gusts in NE London Essex where I am will not cause damage, I can pretty much put money on that.

English channel coasts could see the odd tree blown down - lots of street litter everywhere and branches and twigs on the road where gusts could reach 70mph.

If come Friday I'm standing outside my house with tiles off my roof and trees in the road then I'll admit I'm wrong but quite frankly that's never going to happen.

Who said this was not going to be a bad storm and typical English weather? LOL

[Guest archiesmummy]

Ha ha, that's never going to happen, Mr fish said that didn't he?! Not having ago but maybe its unlikely or don't think it will happen is more appropriate, no?

I know you will be the first one on here Friday evening saying I told you so and I hope for the sake of house owners up and down our region that's the case but there is nothing wrong with being prepared, would rather know than not and be all like, no one told us this was going to happen!

Your betting on mother nature...That is not wise

[Anthonyb]

Haha... I'll be on here Friday saying I told you so alright.

Don't worry I'll be sure to take a pic of my house without its roof off on friday and post it to the forum.

Off to sainsburys now to stock up on my beans before this horrendous storm hits Essex.

What crappy weather for the weekend too! I'm glad I'll be away from it to be honest.

[Guest archiesmummy]

If your stocking up on beans your roof will blow off....

Sure is rubbish...And

...Don't worry I got plenty of beans pop round and I will give you a few...

[Steve C]

Looks like there are storms in the Norwich area currently. Any reports?

[Anthonyb]

Me too. Can't wait. Although this terrible storm on Friday might rip the Tarmac of the runway and I won't be going anywhere.

Haha.. Thanks Surrey. Judging by your analysis I'll need more than beans during this frightful storm on Friday.

I'm thinking of not going outside and everything I'm that scared

Lets hope it's not that bad then eh?

Trust me..We are going to need to hide in 5 ft thick concrete bunkers it's going to be that bad...(Im kidding don't worry) Yes quite a bit blowy with quite a bit of rain..Nothing we are all not used to..With trees in full leaf probably some branches down and nearer the coast trees down...But that's all Enough to warrant a yellow warning

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Trying to find a "detailed" map of Thursday and found this..Try and spot the UK its out there somewhere...Ewwww

[Keraunic]

Well, that's just typical. I've been waiting and waiting for a storm and as soon as I'm away from Norwich.....they get one. Grrrrrr!

It's quiet at mo in Ipswich and looks to remain so. *sigh*

Joy... Tonight's rain and tomorrow I am sick of this weather...
