We had a broken plant pot and a garden chair blew over...

What were your losses folks?  ;)

I think the last count I heard, there had been 4 deaths.
I'm sure I speak on behalf of all forum members, our thoughts go out to the families that have suffered during the storm  :(

Everything was fine in Newbold, driven down to clacton today for half term and there are broken trees everywhere and the helter skelter on the pier has toppled over  :o

@ Slacker ohhh nooo I hope the leaf stayed intacto and not damaged

@ Simon sorry for the terrible damaged sustained to your property, that poor little gnome - did he need resus?

Meanwhile others down south are still without power and it's turned colder, I hope they get their power on soon.

Luckily everything happened at sunrise so nobody about. A caravan on our site has ended up on its bum, nice and sunny today!

No damage here - although you couldn't get in our shed for all the stuff crammed in there from the garden!

Spoke to someone I know in Torquay and the storm missed them - thought they would have been one of the first to experience it according to what BBC weather experts were predicting.
