I'll have you know I got fking soaked on the way to the tube this morning!

Flew back from Mexico last night and was a bit bumpy to say the least and landed about 6:30am a bit of crosswind but not to bad.

Isis, Ebola and now a hurricane.

I can't take it anymore.

Currently Sat off the south coast 30 miles out from land, theres a good swell going on with 40 mph winds at the minute. I nearly flew out my bed at one point in the middle of the night.

Got soaked at 7:45 this morning - in Brentford.

My hair got blown out of shape on my way to the car in Clapham this morning, but it's gentle and calm at the office here in Camberley.

Raining Sycamore seeds here.

You forgot to add UKIP, global warming, global cooling, climate change, diesel cars etc to the list

The wind is creating some quite cool drifts (not the technical term I realise) from the small jets coming into Biggin Hill... Looks a little hairy!

My potted magnolia blew over again. Since the last event of destruction, I had even weighted the pot with some bricks - but no match for the power of nature!

My mate in London came home for lunch to find the real horror of the impact of this severe weather....



I swiftly gave him a few contact numbers for counseling if he needed it.

Sadly not just broken plant pots for some.

I love these posts every time we have one of these threads! These, and the ones with the fallen-over garden chairs. They're fabulous, they really make my day, such a chuckle!!

Spare a thought for those on the Western coasts of Europe

They do? I'll make extra effort to produce more of them each time a common weather event thread crops up!

I'm in Yorkshire so it's business as usual.

Seems a normal blustery autumn day to me.
