We got next to nothing here in North Wales, but there have been some horrendous tales about homes being cut off from power and massive damage...
Hope all our members in the south of the country are safe and well.

Marco, I have yet to venture out to service my public on my trusty steed (RM red bike), but it does not at the moment seem to have had the same effect as the '87 storm. We have power and the torrential rain we had in the night has stopped. Winds are gusting, but it is said that the worst should clear through by
10am. I suspect we will be held back in the depot until 10ish.

Getting breezy here in the East Midlands and it's also very wet, the house was where I left it when I got up this morning so all is well

The tiles on our roof were rattling away last night, kept us awake I can tell you. A few fence panels down, but nothing serious. According to the BBC there was an 88 mph gust at Portland Bill during the storm, that's only a few miles away. Calmer now though.
Checking around first thing I saw huge winds, but we seemed to be ok 5-6am
Then the power went, fortunately some light around by them
Cycling seemed a little too brave so jumped in the car to come to work
On my way out I saw a silver birch on the overhead power lines - that should explain the power loss.
Will tell them from work, a roundabout route as there was a tree blocking my usual route in. Bits of trees down all over the place, small branches twigs, leave everywhere. Large puddles across many roads.
Now I'm at work it's a lovely sunny day !
