In the middle of #StormAmy there was a break in the clouds around 2am long enough for me to capture this moon beam beaming someone up from the valley below while they sleep.

#StormAmy is still Amying about out there.

#Todmorden will have a reblast between 9am and 11am.

But all in all we seem to have dodged a bullet.

Rain totals from the start of the storm are around 7cm.

Biggest wind gust was 30.9mph, and that was yesterday.

Lol, I've never been one to shy away from difficult topics, but this one has me shuddering!
We've had a day, one of the fly papers fell and got wrapped round the long-haired cat's tail ... but on the bright side I've got one more rogue fly to go, so I will not move!
All my hopes are on #StormAmy!

TodmordenTweets and HebdenHashtags @todmordentweets.bsky.social · 5d

#StormAmy will bring the double hazard of leaves and water at the same time in the course of the storm.

I hate to put it in this way, but being practical: if you're at risk of flood, don't let the combination of water and leaves build up and blame the local services later.

🍂During the autumn months, there's an increased risk of drains becoming blocked with fallen leaves and causing surface water #flooding. 🍂

Taking time to regularly clear leaves from drains can make a huge difference💧

Fly problem in Portsmouth and #Cornholme?

These flies need heat so dive-bomb your head.

It'll be humid with #StormAmy, be prepared.

All the fly killers in #Todmorden were sold out yesterday.

B&Q have fly papers and spray, but careful if you have pets with spray.

Gross, but part of life.

What do you think?

CVCLT has been approached by a Heptonstall resident asking if we would like to buy, refurbish and let out their home to local people at an affordable rent on a secure, long-term basis.

Linda is right, it doesn't.

I know you will think about this carefully.

#Heptonstall is a unique place and you must consider this when refurbishing and reviewing possible tenants.

That said, you know we support your work, you'll do the right thing.

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · Sep 5

20/09 Sallows play trad folk music about working and not working, summer, winter and all things, taking influence from magic mushrooms and plenty of the golden amber.

Ivy Hughes-Dennis is a ranting anarchist comedy folk musician (she promises that’s not as bad as it sounds).

8pm: Free/donations

Event poster, brown background, a central elliptical black and white photo shows four musicians sitting on log benches around a fire in woodland, playing guitars, fiddle and a whistle.

Text reads: Sallows + Ivy Hughes Dennis, Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge, Saturday 20 Sept 8pm.
