Gav836 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Certainly did although it made the Royal Norfolk show "interesting" today. Hasn't done the near fit to combine crops a lot of good either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 not been to heavy down this way, most of the near ready crops this way seem to have suffered some wind damage though, suspect if it didnt rain some may have been cutting in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 They've already started cutting in this part of the country on the lighter land, early this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, neighbours, and our barley will be ready in about 10 to 14 days mate. Whole cropped our spring barley last weekend, contractor that swathed it brought his Claas maxi swather with 16 foot header, nice to see it out at work, not much use for it these days around here.

justy 46 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Orphelia is starting to bare down here now . Very very strong winds . Country is gone into lockdown . No schools , no work , no public transport ., power outages everywhere & tress falling . It should pass by the afternoon . But the damage is going to be lots . It's going to be the strongest storm in over 50 years according to the Met office !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not good Justin, I hope the damage isn't as bad as you expect, it was forecast to be 21°c here today! but at the moment it is raining and foggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Same here Justin, hope all are safe and well after she passes through. It's the strangest weather at the moment, far too mild for the time of year and not good for inside stock. The sunrise this morning was like something off another planet, it's very calm and muggy here now, but the fog has an almost yellow/orange colour to it. Looks like the sort of day for getting a good finish tonight and holing up before she starts to blow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have been up out of the fog this morning john, it has been misty here since 6 so haven't seen the sun today yet, you are right about the colour of it though. I noticed the sun yesterday morning seemed huge and a real deep orange colour. Last day outside for the milkers today so hopefully it will cool down and freshen up a bit after the storm. Just had a look at the forecast and the wind is supposed to get up around 5 this aft and get up to 60-70mph tonight untill mid morning tomorrow.

844john Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It was as clear as a bell here first thing and even down at Barney it was still clear until 11 when I left, did seem very patchy early on. Looking out the window now it's like something off Star Trek, the fog is almost yellow. Think I'd better get my jobs done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Take care Justin mate, really feel for you, I remember it well here in Essex in 1987, blew the roofs of a few farrowing houses on the farm that had pigs in them farrowing the night of the storm, spent all winter repairing sheds and cutting up trees. Know exactly what you are going through. Proper frightening when the storms is in full swing isn't it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Glad your ok Justin, material things can be repaired or replaced as frustrating as it is, living things can't. I too can just remember 1987, really frightening night for a 7 year old (me!) and adults alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Glad to hear you ok Justin, hope the rest of your family are all safe and well too, fingers crossed the damage isn't to bad around your property and you can get back to a normality fairly quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I second all of the above comments Justin, glad to hear you're all well. Hope you have a wood-burner in the house 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Cheers guys . Got the electricity back today .. But it could be short lived , Storm Brian is now coming . Any trees loosened by the last storm will probably come down in this one & take the power lines down again , but hopefully nobody looses a life which is the main concern . Flooding is also a big concern with this next storm . Cork is taking a serious hammering with these storms .. But we are all ok .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
