We are in the red warning area for winds. It has been windy all day but now it is awful. I dread to think what damage we will find in the morning. I live in a thatched cottage and I am always worried in case the roof gets blown off. I expect it is just as safe as any other type of roof, but when something gets into your head.............I have candles at the ready, the next village has lost power and our lights keep flickering so I am prepared. But I don't like it one bit. Coralie
