No symphony for Matty then.

Suprises me it's not higher if I'm honest, I'm up high so may be why I take that view but it's exceptionally windy here, sounds real fierce outside

I reckon we have hit the 70mph mark here in terms of gusts.

Almost lost power a few moments ago but its ok now

Yes, although the gusts haven't reached the level that was reached over an hour ago. Here's hoping they don't get to 80mph!

Same here, a couple of trees over in the woods have certainly gone, really loud cracks and bang, I think someone a few doors along may have a broken shed window also.

Feel sorry for anyone having to be out in it that's for sure.

The wind has finally blown itself out here and the rain has stopped at last. Just had a decco outside no damage to my property bar the felt roof on one of my sheds, thats completely gone and where it's gone I haven't a clue.

watching another plane make a failed attempt at landing at heathrow - if you have the flightradar 24 app pro it is amazing to watch

BAW 166? Just watched him too. Saw him in the distance from my bedroom window too! Scary stuff. Looks like he's off to the Midlands somewhere 

yep thats the one - maybe luton?

Calming down here now. The second squall line seems to be behind the frontal wave, and doesn't have the strong winds of the first one, although some of the gusts will probably still be notable. Really it's the extra rain that'll be most troublesome here.

936  very tight just now along that s/e corner

Rain intensifying here now - I reckon it's the back edge - the remains of that squall line, still pretty gusty.  I hope  this is the last of it, it's calmer out to the west now,  I can then go and get some kip -  tried earlier but  the din was too loud  !

BA166 has about turned heading back to london. must be a nightmare if on board
