Red warnings have been issued for the SW.
It's leathering it down here but its not very windy.
Are any members in the red area?



The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning for wind as Storm Darragh approaches the UK.
Red weather warnings are the most serious type. The Met Office only issues them when meteorologists believe that dangerous, potentially life-threatening weather is expected imminently.
It is in place from 03:00 to 11:00 GMT on Saturday, covering western and southern coastal regions of Wales, as well as the Bristol Channel including parts of Bristol and Cardiff.
The last red warning was issued in January for winds in north-east Scotland.
The areas under the red warning are forecast wind gusts of 90mph (144kmph) or more, which could lead to flying debris and falling trees, posing a danger to life, the Met Office said.

In South Wales we are gonna cop it. I'd decided not to work tomorrow but any shifts have been cancelled anyway which I've never seen before.

Am bunkered down with supplies not setting a foot outside tomorrow.
 
I'm in Cardiff. It's raining here. The red warning for wind is 3am to 11am tomorrow.
parkrun cancelled and Cardiff's game at home to Watford postponed.

So I get a lie in and won't have to suffer an afternoon of crap football.
 
Only 3 minutes notice but our phones are gonna do the warning siren for the storm.
 
I am smack in the middle of that. Hopefully all the trees around thr house keep standing. My wind app isn't showing that bad, winds of 40knots, whilst met are saying 90mph
 
I'm not quite in the zone of terror, but it's absolutely lashing down and windy enough that it's actually starting to rain sideways.

They finally gave a storm a scary sounding name, well, as long as you draw out the vowels...storm Daraaaagh...sounds like a terrible demon from the netherworld.
 
Got a couple of big trees down in the garden about an hour ago just outside Weston-super-Mare. Apart from that, ok.
 
Poor bloke only just got the car back its been in a garage for the last two weeks -
