26th Of November 2021,
This storm was one of the worst i had ever seen, The winds were destructive, the rain came down. The met office had issued a red warning in this country (the uk it was a rare warning).
I live close to river and then there's a train track and trees, luckily it was a Friday night and i wasn't due in work the next day, The wind reported 80mph, the front window was flexing you couldn't see it physically but i put my hand on it and i could feel it, I went to bed that night and lay awake listening to the wind and praying the front window didn't smash. I have a rather large washing line pole which was used to put the washing up high into the air and be pulled down to be retrieved, that was already in the ground when we bought the house and was a little wobbly so that was another thing i was worried about. Luckily my house came away unscathed. These 1900's terrace houses are absolutely solid. The following morning i went to check for damage outside and sent my drone up to check the roof and all was good, Then made a trip to the local Morrisons to see peoples walls had been knocked down and sheds and fences flattened. One last thing i live around a quarter of a mile or less from a PowerStation, the night of the wind the PowerStation had multiple alarms going off which i could hear and then i went down stairs to use the loo and when returning to bed i saw a rather large flash in the sky which i thought was lightning, the next day on a group for the local area, someone said that it was the powerlines in the station grounds had severed and come away. Leading to other parts of the area loosing power not us luckily,
this is one ill never forget
