Apparently Etchinghill has lost power and I should imagine there'll be a good number of felled tree about by now, Also, it looks like this strong wind is expected to last until about 8 am to 9 am rather than the planned 7 am, but hopefully there doesn't seem to be a sting jet forming as that daugher low interacts with the Jet Stream when it moves onto the North Sea. That's the bit I'm quite concerned about and am staying awake for.
Also, 9 mm of rain has fallen so far.
