martinmac Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 The east coast will get it tonight. We are chilling and drying things out now. Most of the coastal roads were impassable today and the tree population took a hammering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodder Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Quite nasty in North Wales too. 400 homes evacuated in Rhyl - I know it's not the nicest of places but that awful for those folks. I also saw some pictures of Degamwy on twitter and the promenade doesn't exist anymore. Stay safe all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
