Storm coming

Not much wind here yet either - I'm in South Somerset. http://www.raintoday.co.uk is predicting gusts of 40mph from midnight, and 48mph at 2am.

The seafront lights in Exmouth have all gone out now.

Pleased to report that daughter has finally made it back to Bristol from the wild and unforgiving territory of, um... Newport. She is soaked to the bone, but says it is not particularly windy out yet, as well as 'stop being so over-dramatic, Mum'

Nothing in the midlands, really quite calm and eerie, did just have a slight panic attack just now though, if the power goes off i'll have no internet, sod food and heating....how on earth will i survive?

I'm watching the Exmouth webcam...

I've always fancied a seafront view. It never occurred to me look for a seafront webcam so that I could look at one whenever I wanted. Am sad enough to have added it to favourites and have been intermittently staring at a darkened puddle for several seconds at a time

Have also (only just!) realised that we went along Exmouth beach and back on an open top bus when we stayed at Devon Cliffs in the summer. It looks different in the dark (my excuse for not being quicker on the uptake, and I'm sticking to it )

It zoomed right into a patch of pebbledashed wall for a period earlier this evening!

Come back home over the Plymouth bridge earlier, back into Cornwall. Bit windy to say the least..
Is it wrong to want a power cut/problems just so I can look at my doubting husband and say" glad I prepared Now ?"
He is non plused by it all. Just hype he says... oh well, i am glad i am prepared even if it's not needed.

63 mph at Portland

So it's moving up the coast but doesn't seem to be getting stronger

I live on the seafront and have to say its a bit of a damp squib. I watch sat24 religiously during weather problems and it has dispersed.

I don't think the transport companies overreacted though. Imagine all of us commuters turning up to find out that our trains were cancelled!

I really believe that we were given the best advice and it'd nipped it in the bud.

I truly hope for us in the East I haven't made a massive mistake.

Fair to heavy drizzle, just north of Straford-Upon-Avon !!!
