Does this analyses look right to anyone. Think the storm has done something different to what was expected. Thought once it dropped it was supposed to move across. Seems to be back to a wave and rejoining main storm instead.

Wow....just had the strongest sustained winds I think I've ever seen or heard here. No squall line on the radar either, but I've never seen an entire road of lampposts move 2-3 feet each way....

And it looks like something landed on the overheads for the Greater Anglia rail route near Harold Wood...regular 2-3 second bright flashes as they tried to re-energise the lines.

As a train driver, I'm so glad I'm not working tonight :D

The noise of the wind has woken me up, a wild night with the trees taking a bit of a battering. Rain and cloud has cleared away here.

The gusts are so violent I can't sleep at all, the house is shaking, the roof sounds like it's taking a battering, it is too dark to check fences. These are the strongest sounding winds I can remember in this area; next door's tropical tree waving intensely makes it look like the middle of a Caribbean hurricane out there.

I'm pretty well sick and tired of this blinking wind and rain now, the racket, everything is shaking and rattling here. And so, so mild again, can't sleep.:angry:

I'm currently under a potent little squall, with hail and more strong wind.

I think the storm is only just getting going here, wind seems to be increasing every few minutes and is gusting quite strongly now.During the night it was like someone throwing handfuls of pebbles at the window every half an hour or so with the rain coming in squalls/This mornings rush hour starts soon and i think it will get unpleasant.

I think we had a tornado or microburst in Ashford. Fences, trees, street signs down very locally (our house and a few neighbours) but all of it has fallen in the wrong direction against the general wind direction. Not ever experienced anything like it! Massive conifer in back garden was horizontal at one point!

That was a wild night! Woke me up several times. Below, the overnight radar sequence and some 'official' max gusts from around the east of our patch:

Assume a squall came through around 4am, woken by heavy rain and very noisy winds, only lasted about 10 minutes. Wind blew over the neighbours full bin, rubbish all over the place. Still very windy now, lots of small branches littering the pavements as I went for walk this morning and the river is close to bursting once more, only just returned to near normal levels over the last couple of days, hopefully not much more rain to come.
