Looks like we have another storm arriving - I hope you guys in Ireland and the west side of the UK are all safe. Please tire it out before it gets over the Pennines!

Well at least we'll be able to generate a little wind energy rather than having to rely on oil & gas these last few days!

Please take note Mr Miliband.

We'll be tying stuff down in the garden later today, before it arrives. Sounds pretty grim.

Trampoline stakes will be found and hammered in this afternoon! Hmm, just spotted a little generator for sale on gumtree....

I would hurry up with that. Your own personal forecast is for force 8 soon rising to force 10 later. Some will get up to force 11, hurricane 12 even,but I don't think Irish Sea or Malin are members of this forum......

Done, although to be honest I've wanted rid of the thing for a while, 'donating' it somewhere down the street or across the shire would be fine by me.

I see the Gov phone warnings are being used.

My "get on with it" comment was misplaced, I now realise you are in Aberdeen. I thought you might be between Trafalgar and Sole, so getting the wind much sooner

Yes with less sun and more intermittent wind, we should be OK...on and off.

I’m in Sligo visiting the outlaws, the wind is very “spirited” to say the least

Oh no, of course not. The wind will be far tooooooooo strong so the wind generators will have to be feathered so they're not damaged. What a joke.

So, Northern Ireland is getting battered, 100mph winds, 500,000 homes without power, and YOU expect wind generators to carry on as normal? I'm thinking I'm seeing the joke here.

Had some pretty strong winds yesterday afternoon and over night in Surrey, bent my washing line pole in half, haven't checked the trees at the back of the field yet.

No not ME. See
