What's your location? Both Severn bridges were closed, but one opened again, so i guess near South Wales is okay. Seems rather varied but still strong winds here.

I'm near Wincanton. Been severe winds here from around 4am through most of the day and still strong now but without the explosive gusts we had up until about 5pm.
 
Has all the outrage stopped now about it being against people's human rights to be warned :)
it's not against their human rights to have the noise wake them up before their roof blows off, and also at the same time to not warn them fast enough.


I'd much rather an alert that turns out to be overly cautious than one that is too slow. I've joked about how often we'll get a flood warning here and nothing happens, but a couple of times it's given me enough time to shift stuff from the low part of the garden just before it would have got flooded.
