A press release from the Met Office issued about an hour ago says:
"Storm force westerly winds with gusts of 80 to 90 mph are expected across northern and eastern England and parts of southern Scotland from the early hours of Saturday morning. Northeast England is currently considered at greatest risk from the damaging winds. Buildings could be damaged and many trees uprooted. Driving conditions will be extremely dangerous and the public is advised not to make any journeys unless really necessary."
I'm going home to tie the house down. The bicycles are staying in the workshop till it's all over.

Yeah, mine are all safely locked away - and we are in (comparatively) calm Norfolk. Looks a bit calmer on Sunday, so might get back in the saddle then.
A press release from the Met Office issued about an hour ago says: damaged and many trees uprooted. Driving conditions will be extremely dangerous
But cycling conditions will be fine?
I asked them to say 'road conditions' instead of 'driving conditions', and they seem to have been doing this on the BBC lately. Obviously the message hasn't reached the press release-writers.

Ah well. The commute will be exciting tomorrow then! Perhaps the fear will clear the drivers off the road, giving me more room to swerve about.

I don't know what it's like in your part of the wood, here in the west of scotland,it's absolutely swirling here (7.20am),so good luck to you if you are still planning to go out today.

It could get exciting where you live. Take care, hope you escape any damage.
We lost a weather vane---found it down the road; a blade from a wind turbine---no idea where that it; and we gained a fair bit of water in the house. The roof if still on and the workshop is still there, so the bikes are fine.

It was a steady 60mph wind at 7am. 7am was calm compared to 4am.
