Many Easyjet flights are not even attempting final approach now. Must be hell for ATC and Ops!

Yes, the timing would be about right  for the squall line  to reach you.  Rain has eased off here now and it seems a lot calmer - I'll  have another try  for a  kip now I think !

Seems to be calming here too, dare I say it :-S - the mean wind noise has subsided from the roar of earlier to a drone. No power since 9pm here, laptops and mobile broadband all fine!
