The Weather - it's impressive!

The most dramatic thing to have happened this week has been the weather, even by South Atlantic standards! On Monday morning we were issued with a storm warning. At Monday lunchtime all doors and windows were to be closed and all bins secured - yup, batten down the hatches! By mid afternoon all non-essential staff were stood down and advised to return to their accommodation. Later in the afternoon/early evening we were hit with a storm, gale force 11 winds through the evening. In a peverse way it was quite exciting - the rain was tremendous. However, the excitement wore off when I was lying in bed with the duvet pulled right up and I could hear the building creak!! Would this be the night the roof was ripped off of our block??
