Storm Doris...
Discussion
Isle of Man Airport closed, ferries all cancelled.
Loads of roads closed with some pretty big trees down. Plenty big enough to seriously hurt some in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Loads of debris on the roads and falling from trees, roads closed due to roofs and tiles flying about, including the roof on the power station.
And the biggest news of all is that the newly returned Macdonalds is shut as the roof might come off, although they would have probably run out of food later since the ferry was cancelled anyway.
They tend to overhype these things these days but we have as much damage as I can remember from a storm for a good few years.

I'm currently in Glasgow and need to get the train back to Preston at 4pm, then driving down to Reading tonight.
Currently, the WCML is flooded near Carlisle, the electricity has stopped working near Warrington (so all of my trains are therefore fked) and I'm contemplating whether just to stay up here an extra night.
Don't you just love British weather!
