From the Dorset Echo:
"HIGH winds brought down trees, damaged buildings and caused a lorry to overturn, with experts warning that worse weather is on the way.
The new Thomas Hardye Leisure Centre in Dorchester was evacuated at winds caused damage to the roof of the multi-million pound facility".
Flood warnings remain in place.
Thomas Hardy, notes on strong winds:
"Windy evening at Swanage. The wind shrieks an aria round angles & posts, & the chimney growls a bass accompaniment".
"Windy day- every door wrestling with every doorpost, & every sash with its frame".
From Thomas Hardy's "Poetical Matter" Notebook (2009).
