Someone tell him there's a storm....

Very surprised to see someone queueing for coffee this evening in shorts and flip flop things! It was raining and blowing a hoolie. I had gone to visit my youngest and in the process of fetching the regulation coffee. It was terrible to drive in. 
Got back to a total blackout ( via collecting 'A' from the pub!) Luckily candles etc to hand. Recovered bins and debris in the garden and battoned things down for the night. Still bad now, little chance of sleeping. Power did come back on though, thankfully.
