After a very calm day, the wind is just starting to pick up a bit here now. ICON suggests gusts up to 60mph later this evening....

Wind roaring here too now just hope there is not too much more damage for everyone.

Windy here, but nothing like the other night.

Only good thing about the weather is this:

The clean up has started in the Western isles, lots of reports of trees down and roof damage. 

Peak of the storm lasted only about an hour but was incredibly intense.

I think Stornoway airport is reporting 93mph as their top gust.

Just watched BBC news, and @Snowandrocks that is a BIG tree that came down, much bigger than ours. Slightly disappointed they didn't get you to recreate leaping over the sofa to get out of the way.

Yeah, sad to lose it as well as the obvious damage to the house. I can rebuild the porch but you can't replace a lovely old tree. Not sure I could clear the sofa in one jump again but it's amazing what the sight of a 40m tree falling towards you does! 

The attention from the press was ridiculous - sky news, BBC, STV and various newspapers. I was half expecting a press helicopter to appear overhead. 

At one point the power came on briefly, I was amazed given the mess of the lines leading to the house. I went out for a look only to see crazy arcing and flames where all the trees were touching the lines - a minute or two later there was a bang and it all went dead again. Expect a good few days before all that gets sorted. 

Wind howling again outside now.

Power's been on/off all evening but the wind is abating quickly now. 

Think we've got away with it again unlike plenty of other folk.

A few flickers of the lights here but power staying on for now. Going by the cover on the patio set it's not as bad as yesterday, as yesterday it was trying to lift the heavy wooden table, but despite sounding fierce the cover is hardly moving tonight. A bit of sleety stuff falling when I looked out.

The local council maritime station recorded 103mph at the pier. Chatter about a sting jet given how it went from gales to 20 mins of calm then 40 mins of 80mph+.

Just a normal gale blowing now

Wind picking up quite a bit now, sounds wild but not nearly in the same league yet as Saturday morning. 

I borrowed a friend's drone today and got some footage - no power/WiFi means I can't upload the HD video but this still shows the size of the tree that came down.

Snowandrocks, I've got a similar sized tree - looks like a giant overgrown xmas tree- just over my back fence. It scares the hell out of me even when it isn't windy. I hate it.

Was heavy rain for a while then very noisy, more noise than Malik. I've had enough of living at 400ft tyvm. I want to go back up above the tree line now. Still roaring around outside.

More noise here too than from Malik though the bridge is still open to cars so they have not had any gusts over 80mph. A bit surprised about that. Neighbours got their fence back up from Malik but down again now.

I'm guessing the 63 to 92mph winds currently being recorded at Inverbervie are an error?

Good morning all! Hope you've all survived Corrie with minimal damage. That image of the fallen tree Snowandrocks, WOW! Are you the lucky one! It did get quite breezy between 6 & 7 last night and the lights did flicker more than they did during Malik's appearance but no power loss. Heading down to Stirling today, should have been going on Saturday but Malik had other ideas! Calmer here now but temp dropped overnight to 2.6c. Don't think there's any power outages in Skye but the Highlands are once again leccyless.

Power went out at some point last night. Managed to get into work only to find operations are suspended until its deemed safe to go on site.

The forecast snow did indeed arrive.

Maybe the MetOffice will say something today or issue a Top Gusts from Storm Corrie and we'll see if it's included

Quite a weekend though and delightful that Sunday morning was so pleasant. A bike ride without a head wind

Farm road blocked this morning with 3 large sitka spruce.Wood marked for clearfell this year but Arwen Malik and Corrie doing the job for them. Spoken to Estate Forester and she is kind of busy but will need electric folks there as both electric  and  telephone line damaged next to house at end of road. Up at farm electric comes through open fields and went on to 4G for phones/ internet about 4 months ago fortuitous. Cool with light sleet showers at 4c
