indigo 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Just got back from work, been sent home because the wind's ripped the building's roof off!! I heard this loud crunching, tearing, ripping sound and looked out of the window to see the roof fly past depositing large lumps of tarmac and huge pieces of steel all over the precinct outside. It could quite easily have killed someone if they'd been standing there!! On the way home I've seen: 1x uprooted tree 2x ripped off garage roofs 1x flying church porch 1x decapitated traffic lights rolling around in the gutter 1x neighbour's car restyled in an Iraqesque stylee by his own roof tiles x-amount of airbourne signs, tree branches, people, and assorted other crap and my wheelie-bin lying at a jaunty angle in front of my house door, thank god the binmen came yesterday, otherwise there'd be all kinds of crap strewn across my front garden. To sum up: It's a bit breezy here in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 To sum up: It's a bit breezy here in Manchester. Whereabouts in Manc are you, indigo? It was mental here earlier. The hailstones sounded like bricks smacking off the windows, yet it was bright and sunny at the same time despite the sky being slate-grey and there being a massive rainbow. Lots of dead wheelie bins in the front street by the looks of it an'all. Need to go out later on which I'm not looking forward to cos it's freeeeeeeezing.

I'm in the paradise-on-Earth that is Longsight. If any of you lot have been to Eastlands, apparently the big Asda and the road between it and the stadium have been cordoned off by the police, due to its roof coming off and its trolleys going on a wind-assisted rampage through the carpark!!
