Am sat at work in Southampton watching fence panels get blown away and seeing debris scattered around - anyone stuck in this weather outside?

Nicely warm inside at the moment, but if you could catch three of those panels (good condition ones please!) I would appreciate them to replace the ones I lost over the weekend frown

Sadly they are giant panels which were, until a couple of hours ago, attached to a refuse area at Southampton General. The wind is tearing things up here!

Poole Harbour weather station recording gusts of 65knots (75mph) - just into Hurricane Force - in the past half hour...

Don't think I'll bother with a hoon today. Take care if you're out!

most of my fence panels have blown over now. I think the majority of them were weakened by the storm a few months ago

The ground in my garden is so wet now that the fence panels are just falling over due to all the rocking back and forth in the wind.

So far 2 panels are down and fit for firewood. I expect there to be a few more tomorrow given that the garden is like a swamp frown

Just sailed back down the river that used to be the Lavant - Chilgrove road. Then what can only be described as a lake between Harting & Petersfield with a car sat in the middle with water upto it's headlights. Glad I was in my van.

My conservatory in Southbourne is flexing worryingly. Had some sort of landslide on the cliffs earlier which took out some beach huts.

It took me nearly two hours to get from Poole to Wincanton, normally takes me just under a hour.

Wasn't too bad, however few dodgy parts!

There is more of my fence in all the surrounding neighbours gardens and across my driveway than left standing frown

Just amended my Christmas wish list....fence panels, nails, posts, gravel boards please Santa!

Added to the dog puke all over the kitchen floor that I stood in this morning and it's turning out to be a wonderful Christmas Eve! (At least that's the trifle sorted lol) vomit
