Watching build up to bath and la rochelle.....and this red alert and noise came through my mobile. Jumped out of my skin tbh, but fair play woke me up to this bloody storm Darragh with the text message. Some stores are closed tomorrow morning until it passes. Well done Government And be safe all. ------------- In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty" "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" |

Whatever the circumstances, hope everyone remains safe, until this passes. I am thankful I am not travelling, and my thoughts are those who have to. It's at times like these we must be thankful for the dedication and expertise of our wonderful emergency services. ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

| We were en route to an old ex Round Table do in Mumbles when the alarm kicked off on my phone as strong an impact as a burglar alarm. I also found out it had all went off in the group event with about 10 phones kicking off … well we now know it works! Having got home it’s windier on the Carmarthen Bay side for sure than Swansea Bay which is more sheltered. We are a tough bunch this side of the Loughor 😉 just praying no overnight house or garden damage 🙏🙏🙏 |

Lost 25-30 tiles off my roof so far. It’s not something I’ve experienced before here. Anyone with a lick of sense wouldn’t be doing anything ‘non-essential’ this morning. |

In particular, it’s something for those less able to cope with adversity. For me, I think it’s a good idea. Think of all those folk glued to their phones rather than what’s happening in their three dimensional area. It’s the only way to communicate with them effectively. ------------- In a world where you can be anything – Be Kind. |

Yes Steve, your correct there. It's a sad reflection on the society we are now living in , with the younger generation ( and even a few older ones) totally obsessed with their phones. Complete nonsense !  Anyway, hope all is well with our regular forum members, with safety and minimum damage the priority. Here in this part of Llanelli, we have got away light thankfully. From what I can see( and I haven't been out yet, only a few pots blown over It's maybe fortunate that GPR and other Scarlets fans heading for Bayonne , flew out when they did. ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

| Hope everyone's ok. This is worse than 30 years ago or is it just because storms are named now? I don't remember a "storm season" when I was growing up but I possibly wouldn't have noticed if there was one. |

Rang the 101 line after coming across a fallen tree....spent 15 minutes waiting on the line...then answered half a dozen questions on my date of birth , address , email address , mobile , described the tree several times etc before she took down the report? has it over occured to them that taking peoples personal details and the delays when reporting an emergency is more likely to discourage people from ringing in future? apparently there is an emergency number for fallen trees 0300333222 Lets hope weve seen the worst of it ------------- ROYMOND MUNTER MBE (FOR SERVICES TO THE COMBOVER) |

They take the personal details to cross reference them incase the person is a time waster.

We have had 12 storms , varying in intensity, since the start of 2023. Apparently this volatile weather is tied up with the jet stream, which in itself is becoming unpredictable. Global warming is feeding the problem , hence milder and wetter cimate. Sadly despite warm words, major economies are doing little to arrest the situation. ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

Sorry to hear that news Will. We got away with it comparatively lightly in Llanelli. The majority if the town is low lying, plus its geographical location, up the Burry estuary does offer some protection. We rarely get bad snow here, for the same reason, even " beast from the east", left the town only moderately affected. Not a huge number of trees , plus no major river running through the town ( like Pontypridd), is another factor to negate storm conditions. My heart goes out to those badly affected 0 ------------- I stood yer on tanner bank |

Went to mumbles today ...one of the biggest trees was downed. The size of the tree was immense over 100 years old, the root system was huge and it took out the tree next to it and landed on the main road.
