Old thread filling up, new one needed. Will put a update on here in a moment.

Winchester this afternoon!

I've just driven home from Grimsby to Louth (A16) very gusty on the open bits but not too bad. Glad to be in though, considering our top gusts are around 60 mph it really makes you think about how much worse it is elsewhere.

It's all gone crazy and wild again in north London/Herts!

Lincolnshire here.

Definitely picking up. Neighbour has a huge tree which she doesn't maintain which is swaying precariously towards my house. Asked her to get it sorted last time a large branch snapped off to which she replied that we need trees (not this big ugly one) and she's insured so it's fine. Ongoing battle with her - praying it doesn't fall. Though if it does and somehow doesn't damage anyone or anything I'll be round there in the morning screaming 'I told you so'.'

I was just coming on to say that! It was calming down and now the wind has picked up massively again! Reports of lots of trees falling down in streets and parks across our borough.

We need to get our fence panels back in but it just can't be done right now

@52andblue so sorry to hear that. Hopefully the journey doesn’t drag out and you get home to your kids shortly.
Trains should give away blankets and chocolate as essential items! I’m sure my 5 year old Daughter would approve!

A6 north of Buxton. A lorry blew onto an occupied car. Unbelievably, only minor injuries!

Seems calmer now - trying to decide if I should delay driving down the m5 to south coast of Cornwall tomorrow - any suggestions welcome!?

@52andblue - I'm so sorry, that sounds sad and awful. In fact, I know it is. Currently sat in Airport trying not to cry after visiting my dad who has dementia (sectioned, mental hospital, court case, the whole rodeo). Bit daft, but sending thoughts to you cos I know exactly that feeling

@rattlemehearties

Due to drive to the East Midlands for the weekend but not sure whether it's safe, even tomorrow morning, would you drive this weekend *@OhYouBadBadKitten* ?

I'm Northampton and it's not been too bad at all. jinx's self

There's a yellow wind warning for all of Cornwall the whole of tomorrow. We've also got a lot of issues with power losses and debris. I'd delay it if you can.

@MikeWozniaksMohawk yikes.

I can confirm it is hideous in the tees valley north east England
Driving rain and cold big gusts

South East London here, checking in again. After what felt like the end, the winds have really got up again in the last 20 minutes or so. They seem more sustained than they were earlier, but perhaps not as quaking!

A 30 yr old woman has been killed by a tree as she was travelling in a car near me in north London.

I did have to go out this morning, came home asap trees down across the dual carriageway, in town and all the other roads. Made it home and battened down the hatches before the really strong gusts hit North Bucks. Sadly we have lost a beautiful 150 year old tree in our garden this afternoon. Haven’t ventured out further but I’m sure there is lots more damage. Winds have definitely died down.
Thank you for keeping us up to date. Stay safe everyone.

@baroqueandblue

I'm in south east London too and the wind has built up again and it's raining hard. I really hope it blows itself out by morning.

We've got wind, hail and rain again in Kent. No power still and not expected till 1am ish

Ah! @BestInterests I'm so sorry! Life can be really tough sometimes (my friend who is stage 4 also has MH probs & Sectioned twice in last 4 years, it was the right thing but you'd not wish it on anyone OR those that love them. Let's hope we both get home to put own beds tonight xx

Picking up here in the north, hoping it's calmed down before my son does his paper round in the morning

Still billowing a gale here in Norfolk. The cat is desperate to go out but I’m still not sure.

Eventually I let my cat out. It was the quickest wee he's ever had.

It should start to ease for you over the next hour or so, apart from the occasional squally shower.

Sounds just like my dad. It's his birthday today and we have Covid in the house so I can't go to the care home to visit him. I've sobbed on and off all day. I feel for you, each visit is emotionally draining. Big hugs to you. X
