We camped in Brighton last night and were glad to get away early this morning. The sea was beginning to get a touch choppy!

Spent the day at a secret nuclear bunker learning how to survive an apocalypse*, so I think we're going to survive.

More worried about roof tiles hiting the Cali than actually the roof of the house

I am writing my wine tasting notes, heating turned up, soft classical music playing, enjoying some lovely pate, rustic bread, olives, and various delicacies whilst tasting some gorgeous wines.

It's called facing a watery and windy climatic armageddon in style.

I am just a few miles down the coast from Oli, and just walked to the beach a couple of hundred yards away and there is something quite awesome about seeing mother nature whipping the sea into a frenzy. Yes, I am quite apprehensive.

finished !
frantically clearing the garage to get the cali back in before the storm
back in safe and sound

A few years ago this happen to me - a piece of our house roof came off during a storm, hit and dented my Jeep and bounced into and dented my wife's Alfa Romeo. The car insurers refused to pay and so to did the house insurers. The latter said they would have paid if it was the car of a third party!

Long story but I eventually got the house insurers to pay for repair of the house roof.

wind is wild

Getting quite scary,

I'm all on my own here

Well that's been an amazing weekend storm chasing.
Left work at 6.15pm on Friday night and raced my family to Cornwall (they left in the Cali at 2pm). They arrived 3 minutes before me.....

High to all 5 of the Cali's I sped past on the A303 / A30 on the way :cool not a pleasant night for driving.

Surfed Saturday then watch on Sunday as the waves built up to huge proportions between Perranporth and Newquay. The Cali was a great place to sit on the cliff and watch....

Then 5am this morning checked the weather jumped in the car and headed back to work for 9am....finally just arrived back home and glad to say so far other than loads of leaves we survived unscathed.. so far :smile

 

[KernowLad]

Okay I now wish it would naff off - it's still howling here making surfing impossible (on this coast) and campering very unappealing. We did plan to do a "last blast" over the holidays but think we'll leave it - the Cali is looking a bit lonely in the driveway :cry:

 

[Andy]

I was camped at unity, Brean Sands in Somerset with BigMac & his wife. It's a holiday resort (not really my cup of tea) about half a mile from the coast.
I woke at 04:30 Monday morning with the Cali rocking all over the place. Glad to say we both survived.
Drove home yesterday in brilliant sunshine.

 

[GrannyJen]

I was relieved to see it go. Never slept at all that night.
