Firstly, how bad was yesterday weather? For anyone locked in a small room that’s underground it was very very windy. How we’re not talking a few gusts that broke an umbrella or two, were talking winds that killed 12 people! Yes, pretty bloody severe!
Anyway, first noticed it at dinner when playing snooker at the office (yes the office has a snooker table – every office should, even if im getting worse) whe huge branches were dropping off a tree outside and hitting a car. Then in the afternoon on the radio I heard various ‘bad wind’ reports, lorries falling over on the motorway, roads blocked. Anyway, I decided to check the BBC news site to see what all this fuss way about – taking into account I hadn’t been out and from the office it just looked “a bit windy”.
Below is a road I drive down on the way home, not tonight I thought!

Now those are bloody big trees! Not the sort that normally just… fall over. Anyway, yesterday was a bad day for loads of people and this post is really just an excuse to post a nice picture of a big tree the wrong way round J
