Ours live out with shelter on hardstanding, it's absolutely wild here and I'm hoping and praying that everything is still intact in the morning, everything has held up through storms so far this winter however I feel like this is the worst it's been - hoping the fact that the worst of the wind is blowing from the west will save things as there are a couple of big hedges behind the shelter.

Amber here from midnight..currently yellow warning then 12 hrs of amber..about to disconnect the gas on the wobble box and take the dogs in the house and batten the hatches down in there. Mups has a sore paw so decided to skip his walk, was hoping to get Bella out at 10pm but really don't fancy pushing her stroller in this. The caravan is SCARY and its wild out...I'm selling it in the next couple of months so a little. more on edge than usual..lots of things crashing & flapping outside..time for some Christmas HHOSS sloe gin I think!

Mine are out tonight as per usual. I piled lots of hay out there and the field wraps around buildings giving shelter.
I did want them in but Mr P worries about the stables being a little wooden block so he’s parked the lorry right in front and they stayed out.
It’s pretty rough sounding

We've lost glass out of ours already
That’s not good
Mine is polycarbonat, in the last storm we lost a roof panel but luckily I retrieved it before of disappeared and the whole greenhouse turned over. I increased the number of ropes I tied it down with but I‘m not convinced it will help, it seems much worse weather than last time!

I've just come back from Limerick, four hour drive and I only saw 4 trucks on the road (motorway and A roads) and one 3.5t horsebox which was all over the place (and was missing half his rear lights and riding lights). I was thinking though that it wasn't toooo bad until I got across the border and it's like a tornado has ripped through here. Apparently the actual storm isn't hitting Irish landfall and this is just the edge of it

I'm supposed to be taking my truck for MOT tomorrow. I don't want to!
Wind wasn't too bad when I brought in. I dont know what I'll do tomorrow. None of the horses do well staying in, but our fields are heavily wooded on the banks and the rain destabilises the roots. Stables are solid enough although I had to pick up all the bits of my shed last time, I haven't got round to replacing it yet thankfully.
I am very, very glad we got rid of the trampoline this summer.

Haha! This reminds me of The Horse Screamer (who is unfortunately located in the US so no storm Isha jokes)

It's really wild here (Surrey) at the moment. My bird feeders have been blown off the window - fortunately tied to the window handle so I didn't lose them, but I had to get them in quickly so my window didn't smash.
The horses came in sideways this evening and I could hear the oaks creaking. We lost big limbs off a couple in the last storm onto the fencing so I hope there aren't any more weak bits.

I'm quite grateful mine is still in bits in my garage!

It's really cosy in here, toasty warm and away from low flying trees!

Pretty windy here on Dartmoor but don’t think it’s as bad as some of you guys. Hope you’re all ok.

We now have piles of traffic coming through the village because the main Belfast road is closed due to a fallen tree. And most of our surrounding lanes are blocked too, according to the village FB page. I'm going to bed!

Flight radar is an interesting watch! So many diversions and planes going in squiggly directions. Crazy flying in this. About to go out to do late night check on horses. Wish me luck....

I came over via Peebles and Biggar.Local Faceache roads page is filled with roads closed due to trees down. I need to leave for work at half 6 tomorrow
I really did feel quite scared, then I realised that if a tree was going to get me there was nothing I could do about it.
We've been told to set off at 6 in the morning so hopefully it will all be settled by then. I'm not going anywhere though if it's anything like this.
Trucks getting a bit rocky now!

Horses out in the big field - it sounds awful but the stables have trees over them so they're safer out I hope

Still bad here, the tree in the garden has several snapped branches now and the big tree a few houses away is swaying in a very alarming manner

A lot of Irish flights were diverted to Shannon which was interesting because I drove by there and
I wouldn't have wanted to land there

Sounds wild outside in Glasgow. Hoping my horses aren’t too traumatised. They are in their stables. Solid building but the wind is loud.
Just watched a plane on flight radar pull up from the Edinburgh runway at 5000ft.
