I don't believe links to the express generally and BBC today contradict my point really. All the way through the build up to Dudley and Eunice, days before they hit, they were getting national coverage, in fact Eunice was being tracked and warnings issued before it had even formed (which is impressive I must admit). That level of coverage in the build up to franklin just wasn't there. It is now, I agree, but that wasn't the point being discussed

Most house insurance will cover you if the building was in good repair first. Only thing they won't touch usually are fences etc etc

Smash your back doors in and torch the place (including the garden and trees).Arson is not an act of god so is covered.

Didnt hit the house but five rested on next doors shed and garage , the tree guys removed that immediately and there was no damage thankfully , the other two fell mid garden, one of them they took down as it was cracked and would have gone over next doors fence for sure , nothing there for a claim but i will ask them to be sure

Yellow warning again , the wind is less but not stopping , local weather says more tomorrow , no rain just gales

The tree men are back to finish the job after they did the emergency work on saturday on the spot it was so pressing

£700 pissed into the wind , just as the cost of living is soaring

Grumpy

At least you northerners have more empathy for us now , maybe

Thanks for proving my point.

News channels? No.

Weather ones? Of course. Like all weather.

You do realise that all of the news reports I posted above have been updated since they were first broadcast/ published?

There were plenty of news stories yesterday morning about Franklin being on it's way. I was hungover and bed ridden for a few hours and was moaning about the news. It was either Ukraine or weather...
