Title: Storm Babet
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 18 October 2023, 22:42:03
Well lots of apocalyptic warning about Storm Babet and I think it passed through here today.  :-\

It was a wet and windy autumnal day...  :D  What's it like where you are?  ???  :)

When I got in the car at about 21:15 there was a heavy wind blowing the rain around the river valley. Which is normal for the middle of October.

I am in Scotland now.. Supposed to be gliding, but not today. ;D

It's just "raining a bit". But everything is closed due to the red weather warnings of approaching apocalypse so getting a bit bored. ::)

He's a little swine, Mick  ;D Can't let him off the lead because he won't come back, and just torments me by running away when I get close. Snarling at dogs three times his size. Frightened the life out of a big, daft Lab yesterday, just leapt at his face as soon as he got within range.
Bòllocks off next Wednesday (the dog, not me), so we'll see how he goes on.

I think it's traditional in Scotland to go down the pub for ten pints of heavy and a fight when you get bored Kevin.  :)

Can't deny that I got drenched earlier, and it was a bit blowy.  But hardly a problem* in Londonium


*except for the person who obviously got blown on the tracks, and closed the line between Euston and MK.

The 'two brick method' could save you a few quid and a trip to the vet. :)

Bit wetter this morning, and very windy. I'll have to put two leads on the dog, in case one snaps  ;D

Lots of smashed cars on the commute this morning, two thirds displaying the four circle parking permit on the grill (plus an S class Merc missing its offside), loads of water on the road yet some still hammer along at 80 (what is it with Collins Earthworks van drivers!).

Our bus is a couple of hours late so I can only presume that Heathrow is a bit soggy.

Son sent a couple of pics of outside his house in Long Melford Suffolk.
A car (Beemer of course) stranded in a lake (previously the main road) at least a foot deep, and Fire service taking elderly residents out in a dinghy.
