I'm 1 mile from the South Devon coast and there not a breath of wind at the moment.

Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't the Met Office over egging things AGAIN!


They issued a "warning" after some rain the the other day warning of "localised standing water". When I was a lad we used to call them puddles!!

Have to add the "standing water" warning was actually the local BBC weather.

What you talkin bout ! Horrendous night here i was woken at 12:24am and pretty much been awake since. Lots of big trees by me made a horriffic roar and the house felt like it was taking a battering. Lots of trees down in hampshire looking at pics being flung around. The isle of wight recorded 99 mph winds, from there they moved north east direct to my bedroom window

Defiantly wont be talking about it in 10 years.

lots of noise as the wind and rain lashed down, wasn't as bad as I thought though, mate had 2 failed attempts to land at Bournemouth, ended up in Birmingham I think lol. power cuts in brockenhurst etc and the usual tree down.

[grum]

not as bad as i thought ....... very blowy, few branches down between Stur and B'ford ........ power cut too

............... did see a Morrisons plastic bag about 200ft in the air tho .........
