Looking at the coverage it thankfully doesn't look nearly as bad as was possible, haven't heard any deaths reported and damage looks minimal Have relatives in London saying things not bad there at all

As for some being a bit blasé about the whole thing (not you, btw!), it's worth noting that for many of us it's the strongest winds we've had in 13 years - that's noteworthy. And I'm sure the 40,000 people who are without power at the moment in UKPN areas would be delighted to know that it was just normal autumn winds as some are saying!
78 MPH gusts at Odiham, 70 at Heathrow and 70 MPH+ in Kent are newsworthy.
