It was bad last night but I don't think it was as bad when compared to Christmas Eve 1997 and January 2007. They were vicious around here.

Evening all. You all ok

[SP1986]

I agree last nights was nowhere near as bad as 2007.. here in 2007 once the wind change direction to WNWly, that was it for us, widespread damage.. but last night the SW we were sheltered here.

 

Tomorrow don't underestimate the gusts in our region, especially more southern parts. The strongest winds will occur in the southerly phase of the storm, and given in places like Cheshire and Merseyside there is no real shelter from southerly/southeasterly winds, they could be quite strong  for a time, especially as they funnel through the Cheshire Plain.
