Calm Before the Storm.

[Raven]

Passed the Causeymire Wind Farm earlier this morning. Not a blade was turning. Got out of the car and everywhere was silent, not even a bird calling, it was very eerie in the silence and the mist.
This storm is going to be a doozie I think, even the ocean is like a mill pond, not good, not good at all..
Just heard on the radio we now have a RED wind warning, that's 90-100mph winds..........Shiiiiit.

[Alex]

We're due for high winds here in the north west too.

[Mups]

I believe  Storm Eowyn is forecast for just about everywhere.  Not looking forward to it at all.

[Raven]

We're due for high winds here in the north west too.

The whole of the UK is in for a hammering.

Himself is out lashing stuff down and getting animals rounded up for going inside later and getting feeds ready to be taken inside for them too.
I hate strong winds anyway but this is a worrying one.

[Ashy]

Forecasts for high winds from Friday morning until Saturday early hours. 

[Scrumpy]

That eerie silence before the storm is very true indeed...
Animals and birds are aware of trouble heading their way..

I think they get their info from Twitter in all those tweets

It doesn't look too bad for North Lincolnshire with the highest wind of 47 mph & a sunny day.

[Raven]

Good Grieff, just had an email from Tesco to say all their stores are closing tomorrow because of the red warnings. 

[Mups]

Good grief, Raven.   I don't think I've ever seen that happen before.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow.   Let us know how it goes if/when you can,  and good luck.

Yep.  I hope that each and every one of us get through this unscathed.  IIRC Raven, didn't your Perth house's fence get a mauling fairly recently?

[Raven]

Yes just over a year ago, it was totally destroyed. Cost me just under a grand to replace it. I got the guy to leave spaces between the slats this time so the wind would blow through. The last one was solid panels.

[Mups]

That's a good idea, Raven. 

[dextrous63]

Touch wood, er, quite literally.
