Pete Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Power cut, which was ok as the genny kicked in and all the servers and PCs carried on working. When it was restored it tripped out a rack and a UPS got upset meaning 15 server or so went offline as a network switch on that UPS went off. At home my burgler alarm box blew off and was smacking into the window from teh live wires it was dangling from. Had to go home at lunch time and cut it down. There's debris all over town as I drove back. Random shoes(!), paper, bins, keep left signs off islands etc. Could be worse, I see the MD of Bimingham Int. Airport was killed by a branch through his windscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 There's debris all over town as I drove back. Random shoes(!) There's always random shoes scattered around Gosport, I think it's because most of the people are drunkards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_blackman Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Just had to remove most of our fencing after a whole section had fallen down, the loose sections are by the cars so they had to come down!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Seems our road lost the petition as they decided just to take another tree down,(not damaged by wind at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Probably saw it as an opportunity to do what they wanted - "oh it was the wind, unsafe! Unsafe!" and all that corporate jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Probably saw it as an opportunity to do what they wanted - "oh it was the wind, unsafe! Unsafe!" and all that corporate jazz. Yep totally, they've stopped for now. tbh the tree that did fall due to the wind was lucky that it didnt cause any damage as our road leads to a school and the kids were leaving as well as a load of cars coming up the road! Prior to that the council wanted to remove them for no real reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHanky Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Just 2 fence panels so far, but one of them is demolished as it took out the washing line pole whilst in flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have to agree with Doug. The wind up here has been nothing like that breezy day in '87. I told the worrying Northerners at work all about it and shut them all up. All except one who said she didn't believe me. I eventually got her to admit why. She didn't believe that I'd "just happened to be down south when the hurricane struck". A few more comments and it transpires that despite my accent and everyone calling me a 'poncy southerner' she didn't realise I was, in fact, a southerner. Classic.

terawua Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Pah this is nothing compared to October '87. Yeah I even went to school that day - walked too only to get sent home. Anwyay I am on duty at the Hospital and he have had 4 wind-related orthopaedic admissions so far. Be careful.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I found my BBQ sticking out of a new hole in the fence, my rotary drier is battered and another bit of fence has disappeared - not too bad I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've been lucky. My neighbour has a single storey extension at the back of his house with a flat roof and my driveway runs beside it. The last few nights the Supra has been parked next to it. I got home from work today to find a 12ft plastic drainpipe - and an 8" square block of concrete - where I was about to park the car. I decided to park at the top of the driveway tonight.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I`ve been lucky too. When i came home the wall my soop is parked next to on our drive has blown over. Luckly my soop was at my dads house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
