A lot calmer now. Occasional gust's but not as bad as before. Hope this stay's the same.

Lights dipped and our EPS kicked in for a few seconds.

It's starting to get noisier outside after a 2hr lull, Buxton reported 55mph at around 17:45 but the expected squall-line has yet to form and it'll be ahead of this where i'm expecting to see the stronger +70mph gusts as it moves through at around 11pm.

Our fence has just blown down…. Pretty wild outside.

Just had a quick wander outside and our neighbourhood is pretty noisy at the moment with clattering and banging going on! Safe to say the storm has hit!

I'm not sure about anyone else but I'll never get tired of seeing any type of low pressure system rapidly deepen on satellite

Yes I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so squally, as we’re just inside the yellow warning area.

Some of the highest wind gusts so far up to 8pm across the Western Isles of Scotland where the strongest gusts have still yet to arrive,
 

Lochmaddy Ferry Terminal, North Uist, 71mph
Gravir, Isle of Lewis, 71mph
Tobson, Isle of Lewis, 70mph
Breasclete, Isle of Lewis, 67mph
Enaclete, Isle of Lewis, 67mph
South Uist, Met Office Site, 64mph
Drimsdale, South Uist, 61mph

[TwisterGirl81]

Well it’s pretty gusty out but don’t think we’ve had over 60mph, I’m guessing strongest winds will be about 10/11pm here?

What happens if I've just finished my dinner??

tomorrow, theres always tomorrow.

I used string on Jan 2nd storm with 69mph just down the road. Bungee cords delivered by breakfast on the 3rd.

Thinking about the poster who suffered anxiety around storms - Frank Sierra? maybe? - and hoping they're OK. They haven't been around on this thread lately and I know it helps my weather anxiety enormously to listen to knowledgeable people and occasionally chip in some randomness I found somewhere. 

Whoops, there goes the contents of my neighbour's trailer....

Interesting though the topic of aircraft difficulties landing during a storm is, the sheer number of such posts in here was rather derailing this thread. I've just moved a whole batch of posts over to the Aviation thread and would be grateful if those of you wishing to track flights, etc, could head over there to continue. Many thanks.

Sustained wind gusts of 70mph reached in Mumbles not far from here, quite rare to see gales this widespread

I am about 10 miles from you on the Yorkshire Wolds and it is nasty out at the moment, sideways rain and tree bending gusts and its only early,

[Bats32]

And with Blackwall tunnel closed southbound, it'll be a nightmare crossing the Thames tonight

Pretty gusty here now.  My fence is swaying around and looking, as Bill Tilman’s boatyard manager in Lymington used to say of his topmast, “rather precarious, Sir, and not at all permanent”.
