"It hit just after 6am. I looked outside and 12 to 15 houses had their roofs and tiles badly damaged."

I love the British. Rulers of understatement. We cant say "Their roof was completely destroyed". We have to say "Badly damaged"

"One of my neighbours, their trampoline was blown over the garden fence."

So a mini tidal wave rockets down her street and she stops to comment on a flying trampoline :rotfl:

Was pitch black on my way to work at 5.30am
Howling winds and driving rain
Couldnt see bugger all
Thought I forgot to put the lights on but no

Still got to work ok with just a branch in the front grille :stare:

Stoopid weather
Only lasted 10 mins or so

And we didnt get a tornado - just crap weather
lol

I have taken precautions
Have labelled up all my fence panels with name and address so can get them back

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Tie ?
On a binman ?

The only time I have ever seen one is to hold their trousers up
