Not any flooding but 5 trees over next door, three gigantic Fir trees all uprooted two against a garage and one blocked the road missing 3 cars by a foot.

We have a new tree over from the cliffe that blew into the garden. :grin:

Power cut from 2AM until 8:30 this morning here.

I always buys my houses a long way up a hill, so not worried about no flooding in Norfwood, nipper.

Corrado doesn't like wading :(  Seems to have recovered afterwards though, which is nice.

I think the ferry services have been patchy all through the night but that's no different than normal.

I've got no reason to go outside my front door this morning so I will be monitoring it from my bedroom window. The rain has just started again, I'm just holding on for high tide again.

Chuff, Coppins Bridge roundabout is underwater lol

Was quite scary pulling the MK4 out from under a tree then that causing it to twist and fall completely. Mind you the MK4s bonnet saved the neighbors new BMW. Saying that, being a 1 series it probably would have been an improvement.

Just failed miserably at getting to work this morning. Too many trees down and floods! My undertray has been ripped off and front bumper is now loose after going through a deeper-than-it-looked puddle  :grin: damn french screws

There was a totalled mk3 with a chunky tree on its roof at the side of the road near hindhead    :laugh:

Missus has just had a walk down the road and there are people about 20 houses away dumping their sofas outside as they have about 2ft of water in their house. I think I got away lightly...
