Most people have been panicked into staying at home today in Exeter. I was looking at the wind speeds on the BBC weather website for Exeter at 7am this morning and it had them as 80mph +, for that time, it was nothing like it, 15-20mph more like. My job location is alongside the Exe estuary at the moment the wind is increasing and I can see and hear the trees moving, it's about 40mph with stronger gusts. The BBC weather might have got the wind speeds right but their time is way out, it was supposed to be easing off in the early afternoon but it might be early evening at this rate.

It's the MET office, not the BBC doing the forecasting

It seems to have caught them out timing wise: I expected a really wild night but it was calm and is only just kicking off in London now, when initially they said it would be dying down by now.

Such tricky things to predict.
 
I'm in essex and we have a red weather warning now, it's windy but where I am it's quite sheltered. In storm Dudley the other day a tree came down on a car near where I live when I was taking my daughter to the cinema the other night. I was only 5 minutes behind where the tree hit the car and I was there before the emergency services, if my daughters seat belt hadn't of got stuck when we was setting off could quite easily of been us.
 
Im near bath and my new empty wheely bins are still here. Had worse storms in boro where ive had to search street looking for my bins tbh.
 
Trying to get home from Manchester, all trains cancelled, had to get the Megabus 🤣 it’s not even windy yet, think they’ve overreacted
