Well what a day!
Got blown all over the place on my way back from work, although some would suggest they often see me wandering all over the road !! ::)
My biggest fear was the danger of branches falling from trees, so I just accellerated past the dodgy looking ones . . :o
Roll on the calm AFTER the storm. . . . . . .

Yes, it has been a bit scarey locally and we haven't had it as bad as some! Thought the windows were going to blow in at the office a couple of times and was interesting watching the 25m street lighting hi-mast sway from the vantage point of the office window!

it's been awful today - I drove from exeter to bath 1st thing in the van, and I was being blown all over the road. Can only imagine what it must've been like for lorry drivers.

GB is the man to ask! We did have one or two go over in Wiltshire but up country it sounded like they had a really bad time.

I asked when I spoke to him earlier hehe. To be honest it was calm down south - exeter was ok, but as soon as I hit wiltshire/somerset it was awful :(
