Being far north Scotland on North Sea coast I can hear the sea roaring, wind gusting and hailstones/sleet battering the windows. Tides are especially high justnow so there will be damage along the coastline.

I think it's just calmed down here - I'm in the same area as @MaNaAk . I've been keeping a watchful eye on the large Leylandii at the end of the garden - I have visions of it hitting the roof! My Mum planted it about 40 years ago, not knowing what it was! We've had to regularly have it topped and now it is a big fat shape rather than tall and thin. I quite like it so I'm reluctant to have it taken down and besides it would be expensive.
Its still quite gusty here, but the worst is definitely over. Tomorrow I will have to go and inspect the garden, see what damage there is and work out how to get rid of the corrugated iron! (unless someone wants it back!!)
There are loads of seagulls wheeling around - I expect they were all blown inland.

@MaNaAk @jugglingmum yes we have enough food to keep us going until the rescheduled delivery.
I have booked an Iceland delivery tomorrow with some essentials and some frozen items.

I saw that on the news alongwith several UFOs flying along Southend seafront on Look East!
This is about fifteen minutes walk from me and is at the top of the High Street.

I thought it might be, it mentions road closed at High St where M&S might be and you can see M&S out of your window.
I found the article because Southend excerpt was chosen in Essex Live.
I often go round

I'm the same! I dread it being so windy. I'm on my own with my 2 cats but get very scared at nightime. The wind is so loud and blows through the curtains and I imagine an object will smash the window. I will be relieved when it dies down ...
Actually it's an M & S garage near me and the M & S store is at the bottom of the High Street which is really about twenty minutes walk.

good morning @MaNaAk im sore. my back aches but so does my leg and arm. i went done with some force. my ankle is still swollen up. im so stiff so my night wasnt great as woke up in pain. at least its a better day with the sun shining
it just looks like bad bruising. i can still walk on it so cant be broken. just need to elevate it to let swelling go down. i will keep an eye on it
