8. Thanks all - this is our first direct hit since Gilbert in 1988

Oct 2012

and it's coming from South to North - the south coast and parts of the North east coast are a mess already - sea durge everywhere and massive flooding and now the real wind has landed.

I'm dying to know the wind speed. We must be getting the 95mph gusts and we're far from the coast.

Ah well it will be over before night.
