Yep, and from my mistake earlier, tide times being moved by several hours 

[CalmSeas]

In Cornwall, rain started about 1700. Very heavy, deluge. Wind picked up about an hour afterwards. In Falmouth at 1900 torrential rain, some roads had alot of standing water and the wind on SE facing coast (where I was), was buffeting. In the past half hour the rain has ceased and wind massively dropped off, rather calm in comparison to a couple of hours ago.

what's next, countries being blown to different continents

Incredible what the atmosphere can do, and it does look incredible when the view is from space. A shame they bring such destruction on the surface.

I tell you what, fair play to whatever model the GBHD is with it's lightning forecast atm. Good because it's got me under stuff at 3am.

Pressure down to 968mb off my car. Winds are a sustained SE f9/10 50 mph here in Guernsey. It’s rocking.

CHIMET - Weather Reports from Chichester Bar

Already gusting Force 10 in my area. This is very surprising as it was not expected to be this strong so early, a bit worrying for later I feel.

[CurtisOliver]

The pressure is 973mb in my location atm.

And to give me the lie it just dropped to F9 must have been a big gust!

[Somerset girl]

Pressure reading on my weather station is 971mb and it had dropped from 978mb in a short space of time . I can hear the gusts of wind blowing the rain against the windows . 

Stay safe everyone please . 

[Thunders]

from what ive seen, a lot of rain can lubricate the ancient faults under the uk, so we could have a small one or two in the next few weeks 

[Islander]

972mb here and dropping like a stone, torrential rain, and winds going absolutely mental! If this is the calm before tomorrow’s peak god help us!! #keepsafe

Also very low atmospheric pressure less weight on the earth

On some models, there appears to be a small initial area of highish winds for Dorset/IOW/S Hampshire/Sussex in the next few hours that could gust 60mph plus. Although wasn't due to reach Chichester for a couple of hours yet!

[Mapantz]

The wind has cranked up a bit now. Nothing too excessive yet. Gusting to 37mph. 10 minutes average is 22mph.

Yeah same here in South Devon, wind has dropped considerably. Still plenty of rain around though, some thunderstorms pushing in from the south west too.

basically we could see heightened tectonic activity

I've never seen it like that. It's raining, but nothing excessive over here yet, rain or wind wise.
