We've just come back into the house. The horses are out, well, eating hay in the shelter, which is by far the most comfortable place to be atm. My ears feel as if they've fallen off, they are so cold, the wind is getting stronger here, as the storm heads eastwards. There is rubbish blowing about as various wheelie-bins have fallen over, as we all predicted they would when they were first introduced here. We certainly haven't had it anywhere near as bad as some places but have had a squally sleety shower this afternoon, then a dry spell and it's just started raining again. At least we are so high up, flooding is very unlikely
Hopefull that should pop back over no trouble. We've had three go like that over the years, all with more damage than yours (that I can see), and we managed to drag them back over with straps and a tractor. Needless to say they're securely anchored down now.
apparently it has a hole in the back where it landed on a fence post but husband doesn’t think there is too much damage. He’s more concerned about damaging it when it is pulled over so hoping as there are two tractors at the yard they may be able to do it slowly. I’m cross with myself that I didn’t ask for it to be moved to the hedge line as it would have been more sheltered there. Waiting for the wind to die down before attempting anything.
Oh no. That happened here a few years ago and the tractor rolled it back over and it was okay. Now bolted down to concrete a bit more securely.
no power since about 2am I think and no signal most of the day 
Round here I think it was, but that was overnight and most got up to devastation, this time its longer and through daytime.
on Dartmoor we had a break around 11am and they all got out into a yard at least. Thankfully something told me to get them all back shut in before we went out to get feed etc.
Sat in the Landrover in the small market town eating lunch and remarking how quiet and calm it was down there, how easy townspeople had it and the landrover started swaying from side to side and the whole thing came back instantly just worse.
Now it is far worse that the middle of last night and so very much colder. At least we have power so far.
The only people who seem totally delighted with it all are the horses. All in, top doors shut and their happiness seems to be overflowing. Last night I couldn't sleep with the wind roaring, went to bed fully dressed and in my waterproof trousers ready to dash out quickly and everytime I checked the cameras they were lying down asleep.
Sorry asmp and Miss Millie, hope you can pull the shelter back over and your horses are OK Miss M.
Oh no how frightening.
Mine is out too! I just upped her rug as I don’t fully trust amigo’s to stand up to this weather, but she has lots of natural shelter. Apparently it’s like this all day tomorrow here then dying off by 9pm tomorrow night
I went to Mole H/F with enough cash just in case but they were OK. They told me Trago had lost power.
, love the new bin schedule they brought in .Mum’s just been saying it’s as bad as 87. It’s actually worse here now than it was this morning.
