Morning, all is not over

Still risk of >70mph gusts for SE corner of Britain so Hampshire/Dorset up to Wash and all eastwards which includes London

 

and more heavy rain so flood risk

[Roo]

Really blowing up here in St Albans....gutter off and trees doing that Caribbean-palm tree thang! :o

Sussex Police â€@sussex_police 9m

At 6.30am we'd had reports of 125 trees down across roads in Sussex. Be careful, especially on the smaller roads during #sussexstorm

 

Just been checking out neighbours properties from my windows. Numerous fences down, one greenhouse blown across garden, thankfully can't see any structural damage anywhere which is a relief as this storm has kept me awake almost all night by its ferocity.

Morning all - I hope everyone is safe :-)

We seem to be getting the worst of it here in Milton Keynes at the moment - very strong gusts and the wind is roaring !

[fourseasons]

Looks like we've missed out on the worst of the windy weather, it was more windy yesterday morning.

 

Perhaps things may change, we'll have to see.

 

We have however had a lot of rain overnight.

Good morning everyone, hope you're all safe

I've just been woken up by a very strong gust

[Sainsbo]

Max gust so far at Heathrow Airport is 69mph, and greater gusts may happen in the next couple of hours.

[Dan the Man]

Wind really has picked up in the last 10-15 minutes

[Evening thunder]

Not quite so bad, gusts of about 60 here (Heathrow) quite a way of the 90 sky came up with last night for Heathrow.

 

 Sky seem to have been rather OTT and become like the Express for this event. Though it's still been pretty windy here and notable, as shown by half a tree down next to the back garden (it has, or had 2 trunks that came out the ground, now it has 1)

 

Gusts more in line with what the Met Office were forecasting here I think. Average 45mph gust 64mph at Northolt I notice

Bins all standing in this bit of london, cant believe how many left them in the street.

The BBC reporting so far is hilarious with reporters standing somewhere a bit blustery describing how bad it is somewhere else!
