We're not getting it as bad as you guys down south but it is getting pretty windy round these parts now and we are on flood alert for the river Calder and the canal is brim full yet again. Todmorden through to Hebden bridge and Mytholmroyd are all on flood alert again as we speak.

Aye, you get a bit blase about these things living in the Outer Hebrides and forget sometimes that you live in a place with no trees, in houses that are built to cope in strong winds, no big capitalist/corporate businesses who are gonna fire you if you don't take the risk of travelling in a force 9 across a moor etc. etc. Potential for incidents, injury and damage is much greater in a large conurbation - so hope everyone is ok.
ps. The media do piss me off with the 'worse down south' reportage tho'.
