Glad to see Bo inside. Seems he’s more part of the family when he’s with you and the dogs
I'm so glad to see guys only suffered minimal damage, you are indeed blessed ❤
Bo-Bo was probably glad to be indoors through the worst of the storm, but he is definitely an outdoor cat bless him - he also has a fine pair of lungs on him too, that's one loud meow 😂
One morning in 1987 I woke up to find a power cut underway. I opened my bedroom curtains and found that the tree which stood in my front garden had vanished leaving only a rather unsightly hole in the ground. A little later I went outside and discovered the tree upside down through the roof of my garage and resting on my car. My wife, my two children and me had slept through what became known as the Great Storm of October 1987 and neither of us had heard a thing!
I was working at Greenwich Park at the time we had to close it as I was a tree surgeon.
My dad was working cutting dangerous branches off of trees during the great storm he was one of only a few people in the country qualified to do the work in those conditions
I had to drive fromClapham to Greenwich after that storm and there was a couple of times when we had to go onto the pavement to get around the fallen trees, also that storm kept me awake all night!
@@nikandjb1 I lived in a village near Bury St Edmunds and because there was no power, I went into Bury to buy a camping stove and candles. There were trees and a couple of HGV's that I had to detour round and the centre of Bury St Edmunds itself looked like bombs had hit it.
I slept through that one too (south coast). Didn't even realise it was a thing till I turned on the news before going to work. I thought it was a bit windy at 7am when I stepped out to get the bus though.
my first thought was bobo and then he was inside , made me so happy . Happy with no damage , but sad for the person who lost there life and the family who will be grieving today .
Get yourself a power generator you can get ones that charge off the house mains or solar panels and get yourself some extra lamps
I've got a Jackery 1000W, cost me about £650, it'll just about manage to keep my small chest freezer running overnight. Solar isn't gonna help in a storm so you need to charge in advance. I also have a 5600W petrol generator that cost me about £200 and 2x20L military style jerry cans that'll keep most of the house going for a lot longer, while recharging my Jackery at the same time. I would run the generator during the day and then switch over to the battery when i go to bed to keep the essentials ticking over. They were lucky, some storms can knock you out for days/weeks.
You guys are gonna get solar power banks, and mini wind turbines in your unboxings now 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you got Bo inside for the night and you’re all ok!
Glad youes and the fur babies are ok and got away with so little damage
What is a 'youse'? You only need to say you as that is already plural. Youse isn't a word.
Pleased you both and dogs and cat are ok ,take care 😊😊xx❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌺🦋🌺🦋🐾🐾🐾
Phew! I'm glad you're all OK and that Bo decided to come indoors, if only for a few hours.
Great to see your all safe. Anna I'm in hospital with the Big C and you lift my spirits.❤ JT ty
Can't remember the last time we had a power cut that wasn't planned. Yet i still have a petrol generator, Jackery 1000, gas camping stoves along with batteries, torches and candles galore. "If you fail to prepare, you should be prepared to fail" as they say. When i first got my greenhouse a few of the plastic panels ended up in the neighbours garden, now they're no nailed in place and going no where lol
One of the best things we ever bought was some solar powered/battery lights. They are very cheap, east to fix and last a good 8 to 10 hours. We actually use them now instead of our normal lights and we reduced our bill by about 35%.
OOOh thunder (I love thunder)!
Hope you're all safe and well x
and ... don't worry about the podcast. We'll still be here when you're back to normal x
The main thing is everyone is ok and only a small amount of damage to the house, you will have to get something built in front of that bit as a windbreak. You will also have to get some lamps and a camping stove as a just in case for future events.
You should put a Mirror behind candles, the bigger the Mirror the better. That increases the light. Same applies to a Torch.
Thank God you are all safe, Bo too, so glad you brought him in. There has been some crazy weather of late in the US.
So pleased to see dear Bo in the house, bless him. So much more safe and secure in there with you. 😻
Very happy Bob was safe indoors.
I am so glad that you are ok. We don't have bad storms here in the UK. xx
Maybe you should get yourselfs a NOAA weather radio too!
RIP TO THE MAN ! STAY SAFE
I'm so glad here in the UK we don't usually get weather 🌦️ like in America we've only had some bad ones.
Where I am mostly just flooding with the occasional tree that's ripped out.
great to see you're safe. would you consider building a storm shelter in the future? and maybe consider buying a couple of camping lanterns and a ton of batteries. Please tell me you checked bobo didn't sneak in behind you when you were fixing that
If you get pretty decent weather like someone said get some solar panels.Hasnt JT got fishing lamps you could put in house.Or the final solution is to wear fluorescent clothing and fluorescent collars for the pets.
Stay safe.
6:02 "Bin down!"
Maybe yous should build yourselves a shelter for you both and the pets too just to keep you safe from the weather. And there are UA-camrs you should check out that keep you updated with weather events Ryan Hall Y’all & Reed Timmer!
Welcome to the Zimbabwean way of life! We have do many different light sources for power cuts!
Im so glad you are all safe, you have no idea how much this silly woman from Leicester England was worried for you both and your fur babies xx
It's so good to see you again and see you and the pets are safe, with minimal damage. RIP the poor man who died.
You can get chargeable lamps, would be good for emergency
Can I suggest you try and get some camping lighting, I have one and it's great, despite never having had to use it yet!
In the area we live here in UK we get power outages occasionally. We keep oil lamps on standby all year, even though we may not need them. They are a godsend and highly recommended.
Glad you’re all ok. Pretty scary 😮x
JT and Anna great to see you are safe and sound after that storm at looked really bad over there. Keep up the amazing work you do. Love your videos. Hope the scary film didn't scare you too much, haha.
preventing against damage is why most british homes are made of brick or stone, much harder to damage in storms
Get Candelabras and stock up candles.
Wow , glad you're both okay . Bo , sounded like , are you for real , course i didnt , im the boss cat maan .
All the best from uk
I happily put up with our cold winters instead of tornadoes and hurricanes!! Love from Canada 🇨🇦.
Was driving on Interstate 69 from Cincinnati to Arkansas on Monday after the storms Sunday.
So glad you guys are okay.
Hey cousins feelin ya on this one. I also live on the Tornados belt. We have 2 generators a back up and a backups backup . Y’all should invest in them. Anyways C ya
Glad y’all are alright. The storms have been terrible so far. I’m waiting on the adjuster to come out to see if they’re going to replace my hail damaged and leaking roof. The roof that I just replaced 9 years ago. Yay.
I'm so glad that you got Bo inside ❤ the early hours of Monday just gone (UK time) I was watching a live UA-cam channel of storm chasers and I saw that Kentucky was being hit bad and was thinking about you all.
Look out for some usb rechargeable lamps. I got everyone one for xmas. Ours are like little spotlights that magnetically attach to a stand and/or a wall attachment. Attractive and useful.
Welcome to adulthood nice to see you safe ..JT no hat 😧..there is a good looking man been hiding under that hat ..less hat ..Anna you look good even in you pyjamas
Glad you’re both okay and all the pets!! Bo is probably safer inside than outside I’d say.
JT ,I was thinking about that facia at bottom of home that came off in storm.
Am I right in thinking ,it fixes to base of home and some timber along floor ?
If so it'll always be weak..
Maybe afix a trellis frame up in its place , then afix facia's to trellis and home , with ground stakes to support lower of trellis .
Obviously use treated wood .
To give it a skeleton frame work ,to bolster its strength.
Just a thought mind .
Yay, Beau had fun inside and was safe. 🎉
As you live out in the sticks it might be an idea to get some rechargeable lanterns ec. I'd even get a small radio that runs on batteries so you don;t have to sit in silence. Glad you brought Bo inside.
My ginger boy cat Angus was reacting like crazy to Bo talking. He doesn't do that to many cats, he must like Bo's kentucky twang in his meow lol
Glad your all safe.
Thank goodness you are safe
Glad you both and the animals are ok❤️
Buy some camping lanterns, that is what I have done for the times that the power goes out, candles only last so long and don't provide much light.
So glad you escaped without more damage and you are all safe.
Oh and in case a real bad tornado get yourself a basement/bunker
this is what happens when 90% of the houses in your country have overhead wires connecting their power to the grid, in the UK, the grid is overhead but its connected to the house underground, power outages are less common in storms as a result
Weather in the UK has been grey and damp since last summer with relatively more than the odd day of sun really - temperatures rarely more than 70F - but fortunately we usually don’t get more extreme weather like that and we really don’t need to pay for AC either.
I get that the power going out during the scary part of a film is bad timing but I have a possibly scarier example.
I was not feeling great so was lying down watching a film. It was a horror movie and when the scary music built up the tension, I had a muscle spasm in my hand and grabbed my own leg! I absolutely scared the **** out of myself
(that was one of the first times I had muscle spasms/twitches as a result of a migraine)
so glad you are both safe and your fur babies x and with minimal damage x God Bless
So glad and thankful you're all safe and sound!! And that Bo bo was brought in from the storm. Wild little munchkin wanting to go back out in it 😂
I follow a farm in oklahoma that was missed by 0.5miles from the anticyclone but it hit their family's homes, all alive but multiple fatalities of people that weren't family or friends of theirs so still really sad. I think in the perspective of moments like those, lack of power is the least of your worries and maybe think about building a storm shelter? When I went to Belize the locals said their hurricaine seasons are getting worse and lasting longer 🙈 my heart goes out to those who have lost their homes, loved ones or lives 😢❤
Please get a underground tornado shelter! Heard they’re cheaper nowadays and Ryan Hall Y’all shared a link on a company that makes payments
It's so good to see you are safe and well with very little damage . I think you should invest in some battery operated small lamps safer than candles when you have pets running around and they give off more light.
You need some rechargeable battery powered lights.
If thats the predominant wind direction like in the UK its mainly west/ southwestern winds might be worth building something some brick walls or something like that to take the wind, as that will be likely to be taken out again. Also if you live in an area that has power outages might be worth getting a diesel or solar powered generator, shouldnt cost any more than a few hundred dollars for a second hand one.
We also got hit a few days ago. I hope you guys all alright. I live near Rogers and got a few friends in the area of Rogers. Are you all alright now?
Hey, I'm so glad that you and your fury family.I'll save unwell.It's rather a thing to have a house on top of a hill in a tornado.
Perhaps if you put some posts sporadically behind that house skirt it would strengthen them a bit
Maybe Bo might need a litter tray in the house when he needs to be in. He might have wanted to go out to pee, rather than because he didn’t want to be inside.
Stay safe my young friend’s. Bless 👍🙏🏻
So glad you are ok
weather almost as bi polar as uk. since march weve gone thru spring summer autumn winter.were currently on autumn again.
Bless you both for coming through it with such a positive attitude , hopefully it shows that your new house can withstand what the forces of nature will throw at you with minimal damage , may i humbly suggest that a reasonably inexpensively erected wooden fence around your skirting may protect you from future excessive winds ie taking the brunt of it , forgive me if im being illogical 😀😀👍👍
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hope everything is Ok now, and getting better all the time.
BTW, Thanks for that video. I watched it in full screen on my laptop, and the darkness helped me to notice how badly my laptop screen needed cleaning. Cheers guys!
Oh is bo in.
See if you can get a sponsor for a generator. Glad the both of you & the animals are safe. Sorry to hear that someone died. 😔
😮
Have you ever thought about a back up generator?
Wow your hair is beautiful and thick! Please let it grow a little longer just to indulge this old dear! 😳😳❤️🌹
Sounds like you all had it really bad all around you, and here’s me moaning about all the rain we’ve been having. I think I’ll stick with our rain here on the south coast of U.K. keep safe over there. 🙏🙏❤️🌹
Glad you are all OK xx
At least you are all safe. Getting yourself a couple of oil lamps might be a good idea. I have one in the outside shed just in case it is needed. I need to get some lamp oil as well.
In the 70s and 80s we would get regular power cuts which could last for a week. But I grew up in a remote farming area in the UK. So we had some oil lamps and candles and knew how to cope with it.
Take care and best wishes
Glad everyone is safe and the damage wasn't as bad as could have been. I have relatives near Savannah in Georgia so do look out for what the weather is doing there in the storm season.
SO glad you and Anna are OK with your pets not looking bothered and house looking all OK . I have seen you interest in Cricket , if you did not know , The T20 World Cup starts Sunday June 2 , the first match on that day is Canada v America in Texas . I will be watching . will you ???
That must be scary to listen to in the night, glad it all turned out alright for you
Yeah, Being on the top of a hill will do that, there's nothing to block the storm, although being at the bottom of the hill leaves you open to flood damage too.
I worry that you don't appear to have any blinds or curtains at your windows. I know the house is in the country, but you never know who is out and about. When you sit in a lit room, you are like fish in a gold fish bowl. People can sit out in the dark and watch you. Police advice is to have curtains drawn at night so no one can see in.
So scary to hear these story’s of the damagw of these storms .glad you all are ok take care you two .love scotland
Amazon sells some rechargeable lights, I have 4, two in my bathroom, one in my living room and one in my 2nd bathroom. They put out a lot of light. I also keep portable power banks charged, one which is solar, for my phone and tablet, using my phone as a hotspot, cause well, Ryan Hall, Y’all 😊.
Good to see you are all safe things can be repaired or replaced 🙏 not taking the piss but worse thing I had in uk this week is it rained and my Internet dipped.
we in the uk don't have tornado strong storms that's about it. happy that everyone is ok. Also you've room for a swimming pool and loads of room for children swing set
That skirting should have had some extra internal support, a few wood back beams maybe.
One of the best things we ever bought was some solar powered/battery lights. They are very cheap, easy to fix and last a good 8 to 10 hours. We actually use them now instead of our normal lights and we reduced our bill by about 35%.
We later bought some Solar charged battery units that power the internet box for 12 hours so unless the ISP goes down we still have internet during a brown out.
I’d get rid of the skirting on the outside and get full concrete foundations
Welcome to the 1970's Britain Experience.
It's great you only had minor damage, as you said not much to fix.
I don't like the high winds either, they are not on the scale you get, but they are still super scary.
Please never stay in a mobile home during a storm 😮 We lost a family member years ago in a storm. Go somewhere safe . Have a happy and safe summer 😊
That was blue cheese and brown wholemeal rice
👍 and the big love from Yorkshire❤
I reckon your next purchase/investment ought to be some solar panels then this would not be a problem.
