I've turned off both my modems today to make sure DLM doesn't come for me 

Storm seems to be across most of Lancashire and West Yorkshire at the moment, got some good footage but the affect on the broadband isn't nice

That was a massive Storm for sure the maxim event was at 20:00

Looking at that map, I see that Kitz, Black Sheep and Apollo11cdr (now finally with a working connection) will have been right in the storm's path.

Despite my efforts im in the red, hopefully it should register as a wide area event 

It pretty much reached red just because of error between 6-7pm I shut it off a soon as I noticed it was about as bright as day outside.

Even my line seen a few CRC errors on this line and the T/Storm center was 171 Miles from my location time to get pair swap picking up storms and radio china from long distances

I love storms as it freshens the air, cools things down, leics is very muggy and hot.

However for dsl its obviously a nightmare.

[S.Stephenson]

I got 2081 DS errored seconds between 6-7pm and only noticed because of how bright the light was outside, and it just got worse from then on I should have left it on to try and beat my old errored seconds record.

It was great to watch lightning jumping in the clouds at least it gave me an excuse to stop working

Nice sunny calm day up here. Slept all day. Plague of wasps last night and early morning.

I am in South Yorkshire and my grandfather's line got hit by the storm massively. He lives about a kilometre from me line of sight. Images attached show the impact. Luckily I hadn't yet changed the 12dB SNRM that was applied to his ADSL2+ line, so it didn't cause a resync. Also, it doesn't matter as much as he is on TTB LLU, so DLM doesn't exist as such.

Are you getting loads of daddy long legs flys in the evening have never seen so many on are walls in my lifetime and in the morning the floor is covered with with dead ones

Last summer you had the wasps. This late summer the crane-flies . . . I wonder what it will be next summer? A plague of locusts or frogs, may be?

I can deal with locusts and frogs but not wasps have killed over 70+ using fly spray killer in just the PC room this year that's a record, I have nothing against Wasps they just fly to close to my face and ears and chase me when I run away

I have trap jars with honey or jam in them plus water

Sorry to hear about the storm, but met office forecast a lovely day, and this evening confirmed at had indeed been a lovely day, so I suspect there must have been some other explanation for all these events.

Ref wildlife, so far this year have already dealt with a wasps nest, and humanely discouraged some dozens of horribly noisy rooks from returning to the rookery adjacent to the house. 

Biggest current threat is from an influx of pidgeons and squirrels.  One pidgeon and squirrel in particular seem to have formed a bond and are often seen together or at least, scurrying away in opposite directions, from under the hedges, when disturbed.   

What chance a new species might emerge to annoy me next year, 'squidgeons'?
