Dudley's coming........

I'm just listening to Gloucester approach and surprised to hear activity, although they seem to be talking to vehicles rather than aircraft? Crash Gate 1 is the callsign I am hearing.

A crash gate is normally used by airport fire trucks to get out to an off airport incident, they have a catch that can be unlocked by hitting it with the front of the truck.

Thanks for that info. I take it then that they are on standby for local assistance if required.

I expect a lot of the emergency services are on higher alert at the moment, some areas have declared major incident status so they can access more resources if needed.

Just been to the stable and noticed the gusts are lifting the front of the Clarke shelter even though I fixed it to 4 foot rods driven in at the base so I've ratchet strapped the frame to the quad so the wind needs to lift an extra 200kg now.

It's a bit blowy here but not as bad as Wednesday night

Mrs and her family still expected me to drive 4 hours to Happisburgh, yeah no.
Especially in a slab sided defender.

Wind is howling here in my neck of the woods, and all looks well with our project home and my neighbourhood so far.

Eileen? Who the **** is Eileen? [/smokie]

I've put some garden stuff away, and leant paving stones against the bins as they like to go for a walk at the smallest provocation.

Wind is up a bit, river is up a bit and quite a fast tide coming in.

Eileen, Dudley, the name doesn't matter unless you are filling out insurance forms I would surmise.

How far does the level need to rise before it causes you problems?.

every day a school day. I thought it was a funny name for a gate. Now I know.

We have another three or four feet. This is about it's highest level that it normally gets, so we shall see. Photo is rough because the wind is making the camera's mast wave about.

Canary Wharf is getting very windy between the buildings!
I've seen a crane swaying like nothing before this morning, it was moving more than it's own frame width at the top
Wouldn't be surprised if one comes down today.
