[Sundae]

I've never heard the wind blow this hard against and around the house.
There are serious gusts.
I know I always say it, but I do live in a very protected area, geographically, so this is shocking.

I'm glad the 'rents are moving, despite the stress to me. They don't have to worry abut maintenance any more. And they're not just moving onto another hill, they're also on the first floor (second floor in US terms). They're also right above the offices of the charity they're renting from, so they'll never be stranded without power, because someone will know and come to check on them.

In the mean time, I expect to see trees uprooted when the sun comes up, because the wind is so strong and the ground so sodden. And damage to property; shed roofs and chimneys and fence panels and the like. No fatalities I hope - someone has been killed in London tonight by falling masonry.
