Unfortunately injuries are being reported via Twitter with one individual being hit by fencing and another with a head-injury after being blown over. Stay safe out there.

Well I would never disagree with the Met. :)

Personally for winds I would take a blend of what the MET say and what the available models show (GFS/ARGEPE/NMM etc). I find sometimes the MET are a little slow to change their meesage with an ongoing situation - in Feb 2014 it was clear to me 24 hours before the event that SW Wales would approach the 100mph mark, but MET only acknowledged this when it happened and issued red warning too late. 

I could see when I woke up this morning from a variety of models that gusts were going to top 90mph but MET were still at 80mph.

Don't get me wrong, not knocking the MET, it's a hard job but, just saying, if I was trying to forecast my own area, that's what I would do - take on board what the MET say but mix it with a cross-check on other sites. GFS normally pretty good at wind speeds inside 48 hours (perhaps less good with a sting-jet), not to be ignored.

Point taken but I would add that in a rapidly moving and developing situation it's quite impossible to predict max gusts in any particular area, irrespective what source you use, to any degree of accuracy.

I can agree on that

well lets see how one model I follow does this afternoon - at 1pm, the latest ARPEGE has inland gusts from 70mph to 80mph right the way from Lancashire to Norfolk - that's very slightly up on the Met Office warnings and would likely tip the storm from a serious to a severe one for many more people.

What are the gusts from it? From what people are saying the sting jet can be very serious

National Park Wardens are reporting a 100 mph gust in The Pen-y-Pass, about 5 miles from Capel Curig and very exposed .

Winds really picked up last ten minutes, constant howling from windows and fireplace. Trees really bending in the gusts.. likely to see a few in the local area down later

Center of Doris is right over our region hence why we have barely a breeze

you are now into the much colder NW winds, brighter with wintry showers, still strong and gusty today
