Thank goodness it is a lot calmer now....only severe gale 9
Very squally showers of hail and cooler than yesterday. Not as cold as I thought it was going to be, at least not yet. But these wind speeds make it feel raw of course.
Possible damage overnight, not sure. Didn't sleep much listening to things moving in the wind. There seems to have been a lot of noise from some of the roof tiles....will need some light to be able to check. I'd be surprised if others haven't seen damage overnight...lets hope not.
Now we get ready for tomorrows gales (60-70mph through Friday and Saturday), though they should be nothing like last night hopefully.
