How windy we talkin'?

o_psycnet · 01-10-2007, 11:16 PM

We got a blizzard warning up here...I'm gonna be holed up in the ol house for a few days at least...75kph winds and dipping below -20c for the next few days (lows around -35)

o_tennovan · 01-10-2007, 11:21 PM

Low 60's and sunny here. This weekend we've got a decent storm coming through, supposedly low around 20 and plenty of ice. I don't know how fast 75kph winds are but if its anything like the wind we had in Lubbock, I feel sorry for you. I remember gusts around 50mph or something but I enjoyed it... people would lean into the wind when walking and when the gusts stopped for a second, they all fell over hahahaha. So great.

watching brits stuck in 1cm of snow is hilarious. they either rev the tits off their engine, slide into other cars and go OH NOES, or abandon their cars altogether, creating gridlock. i'm sensible, i let my mate drive to college last year. i walked home.

o_swampthing360 · 01-11-2007, 10:33 AM

stupid ass wetherman lol got it wrong lol

o_paft · 01-11-2007, 11:02 AM

I have just noticed a tree in our back garden has been blown down. I don't even recall it was all that windy last night. Luckily it isn't a huge tree or it would have gone though my sisters window.

I had roof damage from windstorms a week or so ago. Gusts 85-100 in the valley and the highest winds on the peaks were clocked at 135 mph. That peak where that speed was measured has a few 200+ foot tall communication towers....can you imagine what the wind load on those structures was with the additional ice load they had to have had?

Anyway, going out on your roof in 50+ mph winds to do emergency repairs is not an experiences I'd recommend for any of you. It's a bit unnerving...

o_player · 01-11-2007, 03:33 PM

Swampthing, are you lol speaking of Michael Fish lol he got the weather lol wrong lol :P

o_zippy · 01-11-2007, 03:43 PM

one of the lads i work with went onto his garage roof last night to try repair some slates that had worked loose in the wind, now anyone with a brain would have atleast waited till the wind had dropped....

The daft bastard got his wife to call into work today saying " his going to be off sick for 2 weeks after being blown off a roof " his broken his ribs and broken his left arm lol ..... i bet his wife prob had something too do with it mind, she will have said fix it now!!!!

wont catch me on a 16ft roof in high winds....

o_broodingdude · 01-11-2007, 04:21 PM

Umm... there was... rain? Here... in Hawaii. Then came more hotness.

It's a risk but my going onto the roof to tack down the remaining loose shingles helped keep the damage to a minimum and will keep my repair expense down. Repairing a roof is FAR less expensive than having to repair interior water damage as well.

England is getting bad wind recently :<

o_ginger lord · 01-11-2007, 04:50 PM

Yeah, we had slates flying off the roof of various houses down here and smashing. Bins flying everywhere, looked like a warzone this morning.
