Depends on whether or not you're camped out, alone, in a remote Highland glen, at the time ........  Sometimes, I hate strong winds!

Fridays rain event looking prolonged and heavy. After that I think we may be out of the woods as far as rainfall but the damage is already done

Pretty gusty here earlier, but not as bad as I was fearing - it's actually been quite a nice afternoon.



My personal view is we are nearing the end game with this spell - down here at any rate. A couple more deluges then drier and more normal winter conditions. It won't help the poor sods that are flooded, have lost their roofs or are set to have weeks on end of groundwater problems to suffer from though.

Barton high level bridge is probably shut now. Runcorn-Widnes bridge could be next.

It's going to be chaos!

BBC reporting that 42,000 homes in Wales are without power, and 18,000 in England. With winds still so strong, i wouldn't be surprised to see 100k homes in the dark tonight! Chaos.

It took me 52 minutes to drive the 12 miles home today from work - normally only takes 20 minutes at most.

The Sheppey Crossing was closed, there was minor flooding on the only road to Leysdown (amazing how people don't drive along the centre lines) - and a couple of small trees down. And a small stream seems to have appeared a quarter of a mile away, something that I've never seen there before.

After a brief lull the wind has just gusted to 61mph on my exposed PWS, worse to come later I would imagine.  Going to get the candles ready just in case - you never know.


I notice Aberdaron in N Wales has got up to 105mph
