I stayed up most of the night monitoring Storm Christian and ensuring my property was secure, but down in the sheltered bowl of Maidencombe and the village, we were in the lee of the storm.
There were a few strong gusts which threatened to build but they died away. Across Lyme Bay, gusts of 81 mph were recorded at Portland as well as over 60 mph at Brixham and Plymouth. Rainfall was somewhat less than I thought; I recorded just under two inches falling throughout the night. I even managed to go out on the Night Patrol and, despite the rain and wind, a few brave but hungry animals were waiting for me. The strongest of the winds were funnelled in the corridors of Steep Hill and Rockhouse Lane.
Pretty tired but mightily relieved, here at Cruisedog Towers in Maidencombe.
