Well its rattling the roof here already and we are 25 miles from the nearest sea but I noticed last night just within the red warning area.

I expect people actually camping in more coastal areas will no doubt know about it by now.

Expect coastal reports by first light.

Hi

All calm at Leeds/Bradford at present.

www.xcweather.co.uk appears to show the actual reported figures amongst other data.

Getting a bit wild here at the coast in Liverpool. Hatches and just about everything else is well and truly battened, strapped, nailed and tied down.

The only things that are usually safe here are the iron men up the road at "another place".

Keep safe

We had a terrible fight last night.....my wife asked me what was on the TV and I said "dust".

I treat every day as if it was my last. One day i will be right.

Not too bad here in sunny Bognor (yes it was for a minute or so!) - calmed down a bit from what it was at 7:30, but more on the way?

Pretty blustery here in Paignton last night, worst I've known since 1987.

Luckily no trees down in garden or more importantly nothing has crashed onto motorhome. So hope it stays that way, mind you it has started again and is forecast to be pretty wild this morning.
