Storm Goretti, what a vicious twat

[Saul]

Bloody 120 mph wind gust wrecking havoc all over the Duchy.    Trees down everywhere, RTA’s, roads closed.   Lifeboats, coastguards and all the other services on the go all night.    53,000 homes blacked out.   Worst of all for me pealed the roof off my bike she which was new this year.    Tore the doors off my big shed and blew the sides out of my recycling bag store.     At one point we had a tin can twister flying around the garden .  Managed to trigg it up today hopefully good enough for overnight so I can get on with fixing it properly tomorrow.     Guess the Triumph Carb rebuild is on hold until the shed is secured.    Bikes all untouched
 

I couldn’t get to much today as Shadow had a hospital appointment and I had to take the Mr’s down to RCHT Hospital in Truro to see her 94 year mum who is in with.  Flu I have everything crossed she comes out again, my Mother in Law is a gem.

We had about 3" of snow last night and the winds got up to 90mph according to my Davis weather machine...Yanky but good kit, i 

have had it since i used to fly...as a young un with money, then shit happens

Anyway, snow gone by 11am as we had rain from 0630-ish...but glad it's over..

That's pretty shit @Saul  , we must have been in a weird pocket of weather here .  There was snow all around us but all we got was rain all day and no wind.

It was v windy here, no damage thankfully, tree branches all over the place a week after I'd cleared up the last lot. Water seems to have got into two security lights as they are now stuck on.

You only got 3" last night? You should speak to @Vamana Gupta, he always gets at least 12".
