Very Wild Night here. Sustained wind has only just dropped below 30mph, from a fairly rough 40mph, with regular gusts up to 70. We were not in the Meto yellow area, being just slightly South. Roughest period of weather (here at least) for many years.
I have no qualms with the yellow warnings put out as the majority were tucked up in bed. I do however feel a stronger warning could have been useful since a great deal of freight moves at night and from the reports this morning, some of these vehicles were dreadfully exposed (without adequate warning) and have ended up parked on their sides.
