The storm hits, and it's a biggie !

The airport and the suspension bridge are closed. 700 000 homes have no electricity. Our neighbours in front have lost their fences (taking our bamboo and buddleia with them !) Our neighbours behind have some minor roof damage.
We have a drip that MAY be caused by the wind blowing water under flashing. I haven't yet been outside to look !
And the storm is scheduled to last until Sunday evening. It reminds me of the great "Hurricane Fish" when Sevenoaks lost its trees and the end wall of St Mellons Baptist church was moved out of vertical by the wind and had to be rebuilt.
It's changed my schedule, anyway :
The meeting at the church is cancelled.
The Chinese are meeting in someone's flat because the trams are not running.
The kids' club is cancelled for this afternoon.
I think everyone will stay at home and hang on to anything fixed ! And the government says not to climb on the roof.
OK. I won't.
