We lasted ok yesterday, gale is blowing a good 'un out there. We should be ok as long as our heavily creaking doors don't give, I have faith in them! Hope everyone else affected by this are ok, been two deaths so far, one just over the Thames from us.

Pretty damn windy here too actually. Been out this evening to tighten ropes on the boat and move some bumpers around to make sure we're not hitting the dock tonight. We're on the outside too now so not only feeling more wind but feeling the more movement from the water.

The boat behind us has a pretty poor tarp over it, it's pretty much only being held down by old, filled milk bottles. A lot of the tarp has ripped already, some of the bottles has ripped off already too so most of one side of the tarp is just flying about. I will be very surprised if I get up tomorrow and it's still there. There's also a boat right on the inside that leans to one side quite badly when the tide's out as it goes right up on the hard (especially this time of year, highest highs and lowest lows) so it'll be interesting to see what happens to that with this strong wind pushing it over even more. Could be dangerous, if it tips over too much the mast will head straight into the dock owners house. Wait and see I guess.

Just hope y'all stay safe guys =)

Still hammering at the door but think it's dying down, last time I went out for a smoke it didn't blow my fag (yes, snigger all you want) onto the top floor of the block of flats next to me.

Quite a lot of people have had fences blown down and tiles missing off their roof. I'm safe, I have 3 floors above me :24:

We've been all right here, had some really bad gales on Tuesday but it'd just been raining a lot since then.

The wind blew my shopping away.

I put the bag down to check the bus time and a massive gust of wind blew it and everything fell out and went blowing everywhere. It was a really heavy bag with tins, bag of chips and other heavy things in it so I thought I could put it down and it would be ok. A nice woman helped me get it all back though.
