My local weather station shows only 38mph?! lol

[katemart]

Pressure now rising rapidly after bottoming out at 974mb. Are the back edge winds usually stronger?

[Liddybean]

My local station still reporting max gust of 47mph at 19:09. No WAY that's right....

 

I agree, it is much stronger than that here in Southampton,... near the common..... ... I just heard a loud crash, bang, and its really shaking the house now. Local station must be in a bunker as I have been looking at that weather station site also...  47 mph my arms.... legs... foot... what ever.

Still can't get the cat in.....

Break in the clouds just now and full moon with storm force winds - atmospheric!

Yep far worse tonight than last Wednesdays storm, meto seemed to have understated this one as much as they over stated the last storm for this area.

[Polar Bear]

just looked out the front and noticed neighbour car parked under a tree....which is leaning considerably now...no lights on and I think they have gone to bed as was going to suggest he moved it...hope it is still there tomorrow....

I'm about 4 miles south east of Newbury and its breezy, but isn't THAT bad! Reading some of the posts on here would have you think it's blowing a sustained 60 / 70kts up here. It really isn't. Maybe a sustained 35 / 40 with puffs up to 55 or so.

[festivalking]

Well the brief lull has been swept away back up to some crazy gusts and strange noises. Gonna be a long night.

I spoke to my Father in Sandbanks and he said it is a tad breezy down there at the moment!

 She has just run in thank goodness, .. It's getting quite a hooly out there. Cats, dog, fish, family and chickens are now safe .. Now I can sleep and listen to the ****ing wind ... Forget the sleep bit

Just lost my big old eating apple tree in the garden.  Gutted.

[dancing daisy]

It's really bad here. Electric keeps going and the streetlamps went down.

 

My very small fence has been taken out. So much for my thinking that a 4' fence would withstand winds as my old 6' fence kept splitting.

 

So sorry Wormster.  That's my worry that my old apple tree will not withstand this wind.

Sorry to hear that, losing any tree is bad but when it's an old fruit tree it's a gutter.

Wareham quay. is flooded, the causeway is flooded, trees down everywhere! I was just outside. having a smoke and all the guttering collapsed, I had to run out of the way. insane conditions!

[quantock girl]

Lights flickering.

 

2 lightning streaks about 30 minutes ago.

 

Apple tree is still standing though fence panel is somewhere in the field - great view down the hill now though

Sorry to hear that, wormster. We bought this house simply because the apple tree was in blossom when we viewed it.

Fence has gone......

[Azazel]

In Whitchurch hants at an elevated position on top of a hill near the train station. Gusty outside. Every so often a gust will shake the whole house and there was one almighty gust where I genuinely thought my bathroom window was going to implode. Hearing trains between Salisbury and london Waterloo have been cancelled due to a tree on the line at Whitchurch. Probably one of ours from the back garden:/

Bit hairy out there! Worst noise I've heard in a long time

Sorry to hear that Wormster, It is so sad when we loose our trees, .. any tree.
