rosie Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Phew what a night!!!!!! 101 mph winds recorded off the Isle of Wight. The road totally flooded even outside our place which is unheard of. The police closed the bridge at high tide (which was reported to be 5.9!) we've lost a tree, fence panel and neighbours roof tiles are loose. Not even gone outside yet to see what else has happened. Still blowing F8/9. But of course our flood water just flows back out to sea as the tide goes out so we are very lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 How are you Degsy? In a word, knackered, been waiting for 2 months to go into hospital for an urgent operation but can't get rid of a chest infection. Just trying to keep going and do what I can, albeit very slowly. As far as the farm goes, very wet, we cleared the middle of the access road but now got several hundred tons of timber pushed to the sides and lots of fences destroyed. Some of it will be there for years probably as we haven't got the time to clear it, the council and the estate landowner couldn't care less.
