Blowing hard here in the SE.

How are you guys coping in Scotland, Wales etc? Looks nasty.

Smack in between Cardiff and Swansea, really blowy, woke me up at 4am and so loud I couldn't get back to sleep. Dark here obviously so have no idea if everything is still where it should be?

Nothing to speak of at all here in Southern Scotland. Just been out walking the dogs and didn't notice anything.
Editted to add:-
I've just had a look, and for once "dann sarf""is getting it worse than Scotland, we've only got a yellow warning for rain, no wind.

We're right on the edge of Bristol, quite exposed and it was very noisy and powerful at times here. There's definitely a few scattered and missing things around the garden.

Must have been pretty impressive/scary in some places. I do like videos of massive waves so I'll have to try and find some of those I think.

We’re in Powys, looks like we picked the wrong day to go to Bath, both Severn bridges closed, hoping the posh hotel might be kind about rescheduling our booking for tonight as it’s too late to cancel it, gah.

The Bath Crimbo market is closed today as well due to the weather?

That was the main reason for going! That plus a Kate Rusby concert. Luckily I paid to insure those tickets.

North Wales, been blowing for a while. I'm pretty sure the bins and the contents of the bins won't be where they're meant to be. And it's raining. It's meant to be like this for the day and maybe tomorrow morning. I'm staying in.

We’ve already got a mini tsunami going down the village high street. Bit scared to go out and check on the scaffolding (more bad timing!).

Though a bit blowy last night it's calm in downtown Chesterfield this morning. I'm looking at the tall trees a few hundred metres away and they're not moving at all.

Do you understand what a red weather warning means?
