It's about 0700 here and I've been awake since 0430.
The wind is gusting to 50mph and forecast to be 65mph by lunchtime.
As far as I can tell, nothing has fallen over or ended up in the next parish... yet.
Our electricity supply is via overhead line so if branches start flying about there's a good chance we'll lose power.
I'm presently looking after a neighbour's house which is supplied by underground cable so if push comes to shove I'll permit myself to use her microwave with explanation and apologies later on.
Said neighbour is due back from Germany this evening but I understand that cancellation of the flight is odds on.
I await meteorological developments.
