    Its getting frighteningly windy here. At the moment it is between 50 and 60mph but for rush hour in two hours time it is predicted to get up to 80mph gusts here.

    Outside one of my director's has just had a branch blow into his Jaguar rear screen smashing it. Our 20 story building a few doors away is beuing evacuated because sheets of glass are blowing in!

    And all the train lines are experiecing delays owing to the trees on the line - what are the chances I will ever get home tonight! The noise is horrendous!

    Anymore wind reports from around where you are in the UK?

    Also read that the Managing Director of Birmingham Airport was killed in his BMW as a branch blew into his windscreen.

    It's very gusty here, but no serious damage so far - just fence panels blown in, and a few ridge tiles missing from our neighbours' houses.

    We're getting pretty strong gusts here - maybe 60-70mph.

    I'm sat next to a large window (about 15x9ft) and I can see it bowing when the wind hits it (s'ok, its toughened and coated, although it will probably flatten me if it blows in!)

    I don't know what state my house will be in when I get home - its higher up than where I am at the mo

    Sounds like hurricane strength winds, or nearly such.

    Bundle up and hunker down. I hope your electricity stays on!!!
