sipar69 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 We got the wind pounding against the house here in London. Looks like it's here to stay the night! Stay safe everyone who's out driving, mainly from other idiots out there who don't have a scooby how to drive in British weather Very bad in Richmond yesterday but at least it meant shops were pretty empty.

WhackyWill Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 THE NATIONAL Road Safety Authority in Ireland has urged motorists to drive like absolute lunatics in wet road conditions today. Gardai have also asked all road users to exercise extreme disregard for the weather and to drive as recklessly as humanly possible. Cheif Super Intendant Michael Murray told WWN that people should ignore all warnings and drive as fast as they can through the floods. “If you are travelling under 120km an hour you are likely to get stuck in the flood.†he said. “The best thing to do is to make sure you are going fast enough to skim across the water like a large stone.†Careful drivers caused problems for rush-hour commuters in many parts of Dublin earlier this morning. Motorists have been urged to ‘shunt’ slow moving drivers off the road and out of harms way. “It is imperative these vehicles be taken out as quickly as possible to avoid further delays in traffic.†added Mr. Murray. The RSA advised that no road was impassable due to flooding. It is down to the driver to grow a pair of ba**s and tackle the flood head-on and as fast as possible. In Waterford motorists are being told to ’man the f*** up’ and avoid turning back when they see a flood. AA Roadwatch said motorists these days are turning into pussies and should be made wear ‘P’ plates if they refuse to challenge a flood. “People have gone soft over the past twenty years.†the organisation said. “Making drivers wear P plates is probably the only solution to this problem. †“Its only a sup of water lads.†they added.

Voodoo Vix Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 A huge tree came down on my mate's drive yesterday ( thankfully her car wasn't on it), and we've had two fence panels fall down, although on a brighter note my three legged cat is happy as he can now walk through the gap to next door rather than struggle over the fence lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I woke up this morning to two of my garage roof panels missing. A friendly passer by rang the doorbell to let us know they were lying halfway up the street (I'm in a corner house). Have managed to temporarily replace them and put bricks up but need to get it done properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 We have a few missing slates on the gable end of our house, luckily the wind isn't as bad today so should be ok till our local roofing guy can get them sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 There is about six houses down my road pumping water out of there houses and garages it's such a shame a day before Christmas, also alot of them don't have home insurance as no one will cover them. Dam government need to sort out better drainage for the whole country just hope no one else gets effected but the weather is not looking good for the next few days.

SamN Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 There's a massive tree down up my road, a good couple of feet in diameter and taller than the house. Also a house near me looks to have half fallen down! Over half the bricks on the front of the house have fallen along with a couple of window frames! I didn't think it was that bad but clearly is...

Tinyflier Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Main roads between Reigate and Crawley closed due to flooding with many cars stuck water up window level! Took me 1 1/2 hours to get to Crawley this morning and 3 and1/2 to get home this evening! Lucky Santa can fly over the mayhem and visit later!
