PeterCD Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 It could be bad but the warning also states that it is not expected to be as bad as 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich1972 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 It's windy here at the moment but I'm scared it will be bad :(I've just put a new canal tile roof on the attached old piggery :(Last time we had strong winds (a couple of years ago) it blew a very heavy rain cap straight off one of the chimneys. :(I hate the wind!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterCD Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Looks like the storm passed through the Charente Maritime quickly without too much damage, etc..........is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twingoman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Anyone know how North Deux Sevres faired? Tried to contact my father (near Bressuire) by phone last night with no response, so I assume the power is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Our power was off yesterday from 4am to around 8pm last night. Bressuire had power as had Cerizay, our local town. Our phone has only been working since about 11am this morning, so you could try him now.Apart from a few trees down, roof tiles missing, etc there's not too much damage around us.

Twingoman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks.Will try him again this evening and see what the damage is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolguy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 In fact, the worst inundation on record, 48 dead and still rising. Charron and Aguillon sure Mer under water, several hundred people homeless, power gone out to 80k consumers. Many regional roads impassable.Super high tide and strong winds expected again tonight, here we go again.I'd say that this one was pretty bad, much worse in damage than 99;Depending on where you are of course.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
