Unfortunatly just seen on the news that the storm have had its first victim in UK. 14 year old boy missing after swimming at the coast.
Sweet jesus, The wind here just picked up all of a sudden. Just watch wheelie bins grind down the road.
Its horrendous here, flooding is terrible, roads closed, trees down, no let up yet
Things have gotten much worse here on the island.
Major floods, power out in a lot of places, trees blocking lots of major routes on the island
Recent gust at The Needles of 99mph being reported - Confirmed @ 05.40am
Power flickering constantly my part of island now..
There isnt any rain here yet on the mainland, just shit loads of wind lol
now confirmed 17 routes around the island now impassable..
Now forcasting a Sting Jet...
Highest winds recorded so far down south are from The Isle of Wight

There's not much more than alot of wind here. Land is completely nuts, code red code red. Boohoo. I should get on my bike and see how fast I can go - with the wind pushing me, ofcourse.
Goodluck for you guys in England!
nightmare on islands road

The council's roads team are clearing these areas.

Wightlink has suspended the Yarmouth/Lymington service but a coach service will be taking passengers from Yarmouth to Fishbourne at 7am where they can transfer their tickets, and the Fastcat passenger service has been cancelled. Islandline SUSPENDED due to overhead powerline down on tracks, Islandline services delayed due to trees on track at Brading
The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert for Monktonmead Brook in Ryde, also sandown,shanklin,brading,newport,bembridge
Some ferry crossing are now operational
Wow Saffy. Stay safe.
Im going to bet the area around Military road is taking a beating.
Hows Sandown beach in this?
The islands a mess, worst hit area so far from the storm.
Sand everywhere "sighs" big clean up now, the council are working flat out
Lake district is prittey bad, most of the mountain walks are shut off because of high winds, most of the roads are flooded and the lake is really high from torrential rain. On the way there we nearly got hit by a lorry that was caught in a gust of wind.
The UK is not used to such high wind and abnormal weather! Although, being the typical UK we do seem to exaggerate it a bit but be safe everyone
There's nothing where I am except from a bit of rain.
Gusts of 99mph have been recorded at the Needles on the Isle of Wight, said the Met Office
and..
another low pressure approaching Wed into Thursday.
Gawd....
Nothing more than a drizzle and gusty here in the East Midlands. I did tell my mum there wouldn't be anything major but she insisted on staying up till 5am...
But I think the gusts are from Matt's (ags463) girlfriend
