Storm Isha has arrived, gusting over 80mph out there now.....used to just be yet another gale but now they name them.
Hurricane bawbag was worse but it's getting loud. I'll get no sleep tonight but I'm prepared, kind of....O2 headphone amp on charge if there's a power cut 👍
Strongest gust of 99mph was here in Northumberland apparently.
It was noisy during the night but we are sheltered somewhat by a small wooded area that takes the sting out of the wind.
Most damaging storm locally was 3 or 4 years ago and that brought down a lot of trees, which the farmers soon hauled away to chop into logs for wood burners.
Thrunton Woods, a popular walking and cycling route was like the aftermath of a big explosion and was closed for a few weeks due to being completely impassable as were other nearby walks.
The power was off for a few hours but my small generator was able to keep my central heating boiler and broadband hub working.
Since then, no power cuts, touch wood and don't want any because my current property doesn't have central heating and my genny is too small to opoerate even my smallest fan heater.
