In 1721, missionary Hans Egede sailed a ship called The Hope from Norway to Greenland, seeking Norse farmers whom Europeans hadn't heard from in 200 years in order to convert them to Protestantism. He explored iceberg-dotted fjords that gave way to gentle valleys, and silver lakes that shimmered below the massive ice cap. But when he asked the Inuit hunters he met about the Norse, they showed him crumbling stone church walls: the only remnants of 500 years of occupation. “What has been the fate of so many human beings, so long cut off from all intercourse with the more civilized world?” Egede wrote in an account of the journey. “Were they destroyed by an invasion of the natives … [or] perished by the inclemency of the climate, and the sterility of the soil?”
Thank you for posting, it's an interesting read.

If there's an amber warning out for fog or ice, does that have to be given a name too?

Yep, bizarrely it was something they specifically added this year, as far as I'm aware
And I recall they did amber warn some of the rain in the SW, but that was the day before the storm hit, might that be why they didn't name it?
-
I'm in two minds here, on the one hand winds were weaker although more wide spread, so probably doesn't come into naming territory as a wind storm. However it did cause many problems with rain amounts. I guess it comes into, do they name storms for excessive rain rather than strong winds. If they are naming storms likely to cause major flooding this should have been named, if they are not, it shouldn't have been.
Does anyone know if they are naming storms for flooding purposes?

Over night wind peaked this morning 6:30 at 62 mph. Same as last night when the first started.
-
Highest gust down here so far is 62 mph, that was at around 11:45 PM
-
Rain has just started here, not much wind about at the min. Largest gust over night was 50 mph at about 5:30 again. Winds seem to like that time around here lol.

Went out to shoot some pool, and found out a friend of mines window frame was broke by the storm last night.

Thank you, it went spookly quiet for a while but is now kicking back In to gear.
Yep that's when I went to bed, highest gust here was at around 5:30 80 mph. Was fast asleep and it didn't wake me. Some caravans got trashed in capel and some trees down here and there. Some sort of sea emergency that was in the news apparently although I haven't watched any TV today.

Wow even on xc weather it's marked up at 62 mph gusts, at the sort of time I had a couple of 68 mph gusts. Was thinking it was my station. Valey funnelling accounts for the extra probably.

Do you have a bunker
It happened during the heavy rain, I'm guessing it's convective in nature and bought some upper wind down with it.
-
Highest gust here so far is 68 mph now, the storm is no where near here yet.
-
Highest gust now 58 MPH, and heavy rain has started here.

Looking at current imagery, and assuming the storm keeps is present track the sting jet looks set to pass mid channel east north east passing north of the channel islands and south of the Isle of White. It may no longer be present when that area of the storm makes landfall but if it is, then probably heading over land at sussex and kent
Yuk, it had better blow out.

Confirmation of a sting jet by Fergie.

AROME model picking up on a few things:
convective structures (bowing segments mainly) along leading edge of dry intrusion in narrow band of very high LL shear and low CAPE environment. There are hints at narrow "high gust corridors" further inland as well, potentially affecting Hampshire, Surrey, etc. as well around 03-06Z.
Does it look bad?

Highest gust here so far is 52 mph, gusting regularly between 45 and 50.

Depends on the uppers reaching cold over the south east, otherwise any moisture will just warm things up, or may be ice storm.
