I understand that a great many of you will have nasty weather Friday and possibly all weekend. Please stay safe. Hurricane force winds are nothing to take lightly.
Good luck!

Thank you. Our girls have been in tonight but being put out as early as possible, it's starting to really ramp up here in N. Devon! Hoping they'll be fine, I'm not doing the morning turn out as have to battle my way to work in an hour!

All calm here in North Wales at the moment. I'm sure that will change soon. Stay safe everyone.

I think we’re missing the storm again this week. Safe thoughts to all of you in the middle of it. Take care.

All was calm at 6am here - Northants but its picked up within the past hour.
I've kept in as my electric fencing is unlikely to hold up and too much of a risk of debris flying about. I also don't fancy a vets bill for an escapee or knowimg my luck, he'll be speared with a fence post, so he's tucked up for a duvet day.
Stay safe all!

Kicking up a bit here now in the SE, but a quiet night so I'm at least well rested for the fun to begin today

Very windy here in the West Midlands but not at its worst yet. Hoping I can get out to my sheep ok.

Spent the night in London (birthday treat) and now wondering if going to get home today by train. Horses are being looked after by other livery friends but are being kept in for the day. Also worried about my newish field shelter.

We're just north of the red area and it's turning into a beautiful day which is just a bit breezy!! I'm sure that will change as the day goes on but I'm secretly hoping they've over egged the forecast.
OH helped my secure down the yard last night. Took me 15 mins to find the poo pickers and I've still no idea where he stored the buckets.

I'm sorry to say I don't think they have over egged it
It horrible here. Horses charging round like hooligans. Just praying they don't hurt themselves.

I think we need to hear from the stables whose ponies are co-starring on Big Jet TV...

I've ridden out some class 1 hurricanes and numerous tornadoes and I know it is NO.FUN.AT.ALL. Hopefully you'll have nothing horrid happen.

Everything survived here apart from my fencing ?
I currently have pneumonia and pleurisy and could have done without this, this weekend, but needs must, so I'll be out first thing putting the damned thing back up.
Could have been worse, so not going to complain too much.

Thanks, we had 85mph winds but everything is still standing. The horses spent the day eating hay in the field shelter while the sheep spent the morning ignoring the rain and sheltered under the wall through the windiest period.

I'm glad everyone seems to have come through OK. I saw a clip of a plane landing at Heathrow. No way, no how. I am not a military pilot.

No. My partner is at home with kids - he would do it but wouldn't know where to start
I'm mucked out and in the field assessing the damage, hammer in hand for my metal post and inhaler at the ready in my right pocket ?
The things we do for horses!!
