Today is very unpleasant with strong winds and heavy rain at times. Winds are at galeforce with occasional showers. Not much improvement in sight over the next few days. The frost of recent weeks will be swept out of southern areas of the UK today. Spare a thought for the people of Queensland, who will find their night disturbed by tropical cyclone Charlotte. This is coming ashore in the far south of the Gulf of Carpentaria with winds of 40 mph. About as bad as we're having here, except the rainfall totals will be a lot higher.
Four years ago today, hurricane force winds swept the Western Isles, claiming 5 lives in the process. Damage was severe, with flooding and wind damage. My diary entry for the day can be found here.
WOW!! Keeping you, and Queensland in my good thoughts!!
ReplyDeleteOur weather has turned for the better here. The winter storm as played out and we are having some faint sunshine at the moment. Oh How I love the sun when it decides to bless us this time of year. All those in harmsway will be in my prayers. 'On Ya'-ma
