What a nightmare .
Will the insurance cover it?
No as it’s old and it’s wear and tear…..however I’m looking into putting a log burner in

Yes, looking dreadful up there El I think the last red warning for rain was two or three years ago , and that was in Wales .

Forecast for today says 'Strong winds and light rain showers'
I agree with the strong winds, but I have just spent the last ten minutes listening to the HAIL battering off the front windows!
It is just raining now, but doesn't look in any way like a shower!

Considering we are at the top of a hill, we got off fairly lightly!
There was a puddle on the doorstep and the bins had moved around a bit, but nothing blown over.
A lot of fine fronds had blown out of the evergreens that form the hedge, but nothing worse.....and no power cuts!
Hope you managed ok yourself?
@Baz posted:Another storm….Storm Jocelyn …coming tomorrow .
Looking at the weather forecast, it suggests that our area will be hit slightly LESS than last night.

That’s good news EFFT 
Yes , I’m ok ….was a bit scary , but thankfully no damage .
A lively breeze and more rain today, but nothing to worry about.
Woke up to snow this morning, but it has been quite sunny, so most of ithas gone. However there's meant to be more overnight Thursday into Friday, but then turning to sleet and rain later on Friday.!
Our sleet arrived a few hours early and has now turned to snow, but has paused for now.
