Night in gales



Category: Miscellaneous | Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2008 12:01 pm

Wowwwww! Last night! Was that a gale, or what? I thought the roof would take off.
I hate gales...so unpredictable. Just an awkwardly angled gust can hurtle a piece of garden furniture every which way. I must bring them in now until Spring.
And with the gales were three or four powercuts (I lost count), which kept me awake most of the night with radio phones bleeping. I set the central heating timer once, twice, then said to heck with this, and turned it off altogether.
I've not known wind like that since the 'big' one back in the late 80's, when, looking out of my bedroom window in the middle of the night I saw my tall conifer almost touching the ground!
My animal instincts tell me this is not normal weather. No way.
All is calm now, thank goodness. Apart from rain.
Which leads me neatly into an occasional mp3 musical link...
'Here's That Rainy Day', a favourite oldie I committed to the ivories a few weeks ago...

We get nasty winds here quite frequently Pete and they always make me feel like that. And it is always such a relief when it calms. We have learned not to leave anything out that the wind can move!

Glad the winds calmed down.
It sounds like you had a bit of what Eileen had for weeks back in the spring.

Yep it certainly sounds very like the winds we experience here Pete. High winds always worry me especially if any of my family is out driving in them.
We had gales for a couple of days just a few weeks ago and it brought down a young sycamore in our back garden. Well at least it'll save us having to fell it now. LOL

Wooo! Glad you got through with no major damage, Pete.

We had some very raw winds here for several days
last week, but I don't think it was nearly what you had.
