I spent the weekend putting the garden fence back up and fighting against the tide in the garage after Hurricane Bawbag.

Probably shouldn't have bothered judging by the forecast.

Well, when I heard about this from my weather-crazed friend (he studies weather as a hobby) the first thought I had was "I hope my bike is going to be ok".

I honestly dont remember a single BAD storm, so I'm secretly a little bit excited, but I do wonder if it does hit as bad as it does, how it will affect my business. Esp as my office is directly in front of some creaking trees...

I remember that breezy night in 1987.
Shed vanished but I won a garden chair.

I remember that was 6 and loved climbing over the huge fallen trees in Richmond park after. I think all are fencing etc ended up in the several gardens down.

I remember getting a few cars out of flooded areas.
We made the apprentice wade in the water to hook them up .
