We have had worse storms since we moved here three years ago. Nevertheless, wind gusts overnight and this morning probably topped 50mph, possibly as high as 60. (Update: at 8.48 the wind seems to have picked up again.)
I’ve quickly checked the vulnerable garden and allotment bits and pieces. Oh, and the house is standing and not (I think) leaking.
- Greenhouse: okay
- Salad cloche: check, a bit battered, but holding
- Cabbage and broccoli netting: still standing
- Broad bean cloche: weighed down by rocks, hasn’t moved
- 20 foot eucalyptus: swaying but erect
- Back fence: ouch
