I'm rather surprised that the area isn't cordoned off, with people in safety gear there to make the area safe. Poor show.

"Disaster.... and more like it down the road....."


Are you referring to the fallen bin or the Skoda?

Taw Bridge closed to traffic this afternoon due to 70 mph winds.
Barnstaple apparently gridlocked.
Glad I went into town this morning for my shopping.
Tarka Trail eerily devoid of cyclists!

Is that the street where the little car (corsa) I think went sliding down in the ice one year that was all over YouTube?

Well that wasn't actually too bad, no children lost (I think) and I got home very quickly.
Great thunder storm about 11pm last night, big flash of lightening right outside our house knocked out the TV and internet for a while.

Ok which comedian had the idea to give these storms names?

I mean this is no good,you can't sue a storm for taking your house away,then again you can't sue the ex for the same,either.

Yet another storm system, this one looks very bad. What is going on this year?

El Nino

Currently the old bridge is open for cars if going westward.... I'm assuming that they think it's more of a risk with the wind behind you that it's closed to all vehicles the other way.

So the side you have to pay a toll for is open but the side you can drive for free is closed. Funny that

I am going to Bideford from North Wales on friday, what are the conditions there like?

Are you going the long way round, or swimming across the shortcut from Wales?

Anyway, I expect Bideford will still be there on Friday, and the forecast isn't as lively as today. http://www.northdevongazette.co.uk/news/north-devon-news

Meanwhile in the far north...................Lovely calm day in Stornoway, I'd had a bad night on call so was off on 'compensatory rest'. Took advantage and had a steady relaxed ride around the 'Castle Grounds'

Nope !

We're not getting it as bad as you guys down south but it is getting pretty windy round these parts now and we are on flood alert for the river Calder and the canal is brim full yet again. Todmorden through to Hebden bridge and Mytholmroyd are all on flood alert again as we speak.

When the canal and Calder merged at Horbury bridge, that was crazy stuff.
