I was thinking broadly the same. It's been windy, but not exceptionally so. The BBC website has a 'live feed', and it felt like they were scraping the barrel in terms of news items, which they'd then 'sex-up'. There was one headline about Storm Frank causing a building to collapse in Cheshire. Looking at the pics, one end of what looks like a pre-fab shed on top of a garage has fallen into the street. I get the feeling a tantrumming toddler pounding on the wall could have done that.

Anyway, just had our first burst of PPN - and boy was it wild!

Serious flooding now in parts of the Highlands

First bit of rain just arriving, I doubt we'll have much more than 5mm.
It has been gusts to 54mph, fairly normal winter stuff.

The wind has not been much to write home about although we've had a lot of rain and still pouring. 

Radar shows a good 75mm/3inches of rain over Cumbria. Hope it doesn't cause more flooding.

Surprised to see how bad it is at Ballater. While today is utterly revolting here - it hasn't stopped raining with strong winds -the rainfall hasn't been anything out of the ordinary. 11mm so far.

Won't that just clean them?
