There might be a god then?

Either that or a retaining wall....

I was asleep...

Never mind. One day!

Next report is/should be at 17.54, who knows, you might just get lucky if its still whirling about in the North Sea somewhere.

How many days did it take to make it?

Far more than a working week - they were council people - and, before you ask, the bike's not a Genesis either.

Not sure I can get longwave, and I read that message bang on 6pm anyway....

OK southern peeps, if it does come to anything keep yourselves safe; if not, I look forward to mercilessly ripping shreds outta you

So pathetic that I'm not even going to bother, you should be ashamed enough as it is without me having to say anything.

OK i'm ashamed of 6 trees down, 3 greenhouses gone, i garage door ripped off, i shed dismantled and numerous roof tiles lost, oh and one young life taken from us.

Thats how pathetic it was in my small part of Kent.

I have to admit, I think the train operating companies and Network Rail got it right. I would rather be stuck at home than stuck on a packed train in the middle of nowhere trying to get into work. Fair play to them.

Properly blown into work this morning, full on tailwind! As a bonus it'd died down by this evening so not much of a headwind back. Completely missed the worst gusts being asleep and all that so was really surprised to find I had to cycle round a large tree that'd been uprooted and ditched in the road and two more places where big branches blocked the way (all in the space of 2-3 urban miles). Also a load of slates were blown off the roof of one of my work sites. Happily, only parked cars were damaged!

I managed to miss it too, it seemed to be on slightly earlier, but looking at the website I don't think you really missed anything anyway.

Anyway yes, I really was up at 5 this morning and heard them say, but I was a bit distracted at the time so had to listen to it again on iPlayer later to confirm I had heard it properly.

I'm not sure whether be be pleased or be mildly embarrassed at my geekyness!!

It seems to be dying down.

When I left for work this morning, my recycling wheelie bin lid was up. It could only have been the storm.

It was all quite upsetting really.

The storm was Here, There and Everywhere. It was called Jude. It blew down the Helter Skelter at Clacton. It blew down a big ball at Old Street. Hang on, that last one doesn't work.

Storm named after Saint Jude, whose Saints Day it is today!
