Hopefully we've all seen the weather reports. General advice is to avoid unnecessary travel until it blows over in your area. Expecting winds in excess of 80mph in some parts.
The (e)papers this morning said the worst will hit London by 9. Oddly the weather forecasts all indicate it will largely have blown over by 9. It's certainly getting stronger out east.
Garden looks like a squirrels frat party...a few big branches down, twigs everywhere and most of the garden furniture tipped or embedded in the hedge...
Reports in from my chaps at LHR - 1 hour 40 minutes to cover the 3 miles of airport perimeter road this morning, after spending about the same time crawling round the M25 in the north-west section. All are advising not attempting to travel in the area for a few hours.
