I love your positivity Bosscat. It’s hard to find on here at the moment.

Same here. Trimmed my apple tree last week and finished up with a garden full of leaves, now they're in the field over the road!

I am however awaiting this years collection of the neighbourhoods trampolines to chuck on Ebay

I was in Blackpool for Remembrance weekend and got 'lashed' yesterday with the rain and wind. Managed to get away this morning before those ballon like sculptures on the Prom started knocking out pedestrians

[claret2018]

It’s blown them from the paths and patio area but as it’s wet they aren’t budging from the grass. There’s so many now I can’t actually see any grass.

Last time it was this wet and called Debi she was doing Dallas

[Cardclaret]

Lost a fence panel again, one goes every time there is one of these big storms, usually 2 or 3 are destroyed every year.

[Nonayforever]

I have a bird feeder in the garden, it hangs on a wire from a high tree branch.
It has been swinging wildly in three to four foot arcs with blue tits hanging on for grim death just like the big one in Blackpool.

Debi's doing Darwen at the moment.

Been doing Long Preston all day

[Volvoclaret]

They like long blow jobs from Debi in LP

[Florian]

Debi has been giving my car a good rattling today

[kentonclaret]

Should have named it Storm Debris.

You need a hedge!

You need a hedge!

Who will fund it

[dsr]

I suppose the advantage of naming the storms is that all the service providers that can't cope have a ready-made excuse. Instead of "we can't cope with normal winter weather", it's "Storm Debi has made provision of normal service impossible".

I was in Burnley Centre today, and there was no sign of people being blown over or roof tiles flying. It was just windy. Is Burnley an exception?

I'd venture, someone from London.

It's so windy here one of my garden chairs blew over. I'd go out and take a photo but it's probably too dangerous.

Take that dsr!

[Rileybobs]

We never seemed to get storms like this before Brexit.

[Bosscat]

Dustbins blowing down our road ... Its wheely dangerous out there

[Nonayforever]

Before Brexit ?
It's just a mere breeze.
When I was a lad, storms blew house roofs clean off, coal pit was flooded every time and mature trees were clean uprooted. But the trains still ran on time and buses took every one to work ontime !

I think it’s grim life but in this weather most tits will be blue even the great and bearded ones
Coal tits will be extinct soon due to the clamp down on fossil
Fuels
And whilst not a tall story can it be long tailed

[AlargeClaret]

Quite bizarrely at about 3pm ,I was overlooking the garden noticed stuff blowing about ,and kept seeing pale coloured small “ wheel type “ disks crazily zig zagging about the garden . Closer inspection revealed to be Yorkshire puddings !

Grandson (6) playfully “ frisbeeses” them over 2 separate neighbours walls! 1, a crazy “ Vorderman-esque” divorcee ( who I feel is the most likely culprit ) and 2. A Chinese family who are likely innocent . Hopefully vengeance will be minimal .

[boatshed bill]

What a poncy little "storm", we'll be naming every puff of wind soon

Burnley definitely got hit today/this evening. All the fencing around the culvert was over, considering how long it's been going on that's the first time I've seen that.

On Ridge Avenue a tree has blown down, lucky nit on the road or where there are houses - gone towards Rowley not far from Brunshaw Road.

Must have been some wind to take your garden as well, at least saves you mowing it next year

[Burnley1989]

I think they've certainly increased since people had the Covid Jab, one of my mates didn't have the Jab and they don't seem to effect him at all.

[bfcjg]

Storm Debi is bad, but her mate Gail Force is a proper cow.

[dsr]

Fortunately we missed the Harry Kane season.

[Eyesofblue2]

More like high wind and a bit of rain Debi than a proper storm, although I believe a pensioner's umbrella blew inside out in Great Harwood.

you *******, that's where they all came from

[Tribesmen]

It was bad yesterday here in Galway , i counted 4 trees down and had to change my way to get to work due to the fact .
Galway City had it really bad with massive flooding .

[claretonthecoast1882]

Debi's doing Darwen at the moment.

Hope she's got some protection

[ClaretTony]

We quite often escape them but I walked into town yesterday and you could hardly see in front of you on Manchester Road for the flying leaves. Difficult walk back home too from the bus trying to keep moving in the direction I wanted to.
