I live right in the red zone, in a coastal area, on the "Bristol Channel/Severn Estuary" (it's the same thing really) and Channel 4 News thought it was important enough even to broadcast from Weston seafront tonight.
But all in all I thought it was a little lame really. It's been bloody windy, as I write I can hear it howling away outside the house. Glad I brought the rabbits in for the day, parked on the street so that the coach House tiles don't land on my car (again) and put the recycling buckets in the garage (seriously, North Somerset has the worst recycling apparatus in the UK of any council I know). But other than a few leaves blowing around and some rather awesome waves crashing into the seafront it's been a little underwhelming compared to what it was hyped up as.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad no one was hurt and it has pretty much lasted from dawn to.... well it's still on going on now. But it's hardly been what it's been hyped up to be. I don't understand why the schools closed, the kids have been eating me out of house and home all day whilst I was slaving away at work.
Had to be asked though, how did the SSC look swaying away
@NuttySquirrel? Heard both Severn Crossings were closed by mid morning (at least that what a friendly guy from Warburtons head office in Yorkshire told me as to why I wasn't getting a bread delivery today). Can't imagine what it was like down Severn Beach today!
