Wow. There's been some crazy weather in the North today. Heard a crash at work and looked out the back. There was the garden shed, reduced to flat pack form again. As a tenant from work and myself attempted to secure the remaining pieces, panes of glass started flying through the air at high speed and smashing next to us. Jesus! I thought I was going to be decapitated.
Finally on the way home from work, a tree had been felled and was lying straight across the main road.
I reckon that this is the worst wind we've had in Britain since the infamous storm of '88.

We have been having some unusual weather here on the western side of Oregon too. Freezing rain and needless to say, quite cold here as well. Hang in there Jim.

I hope your roof doesn't fly away! It seems there are heavy storms in Wijk aan Zee, too; they had problems with the transmissions for a while. Up here it's windy, but not extremely so. Southern Norway has had some bad storms recently, but they haven't reached us yet.

I think many countries have a rough time right now. Early this week, a storm raged over Sweden measuring winds up to 33 meters/s at some points and scoring three kills due to falling trees.
