[@ascgazz]

I live under the big amber triangle, in an old rickety wooden house on an exposed hillside. I might spend the rest of the day digging a bunker under the shed 😂

[@martindonovan290]

Keep safe everyone from Blackpool

[@christinepease890]

thank you Alex stay safe met office team

[@davidmarshall5596]

The danger to people is the things that get whipped by the wind & blown through the air..slates etc..potentially very dangerous.

[@toasted_b12]

Just don't go out!

[@sarahlewis7669]

Please stay safe everyone. Love from Doncaster. Xx

[@kirkyfarndale5780]

Same from Sheffield

[@CelticGirl78]

We just got back to Heysham, travelling from Dumfries...weather was wild but nothing to write home about in Dumfries...least the river didn't burst its banks! We travelled up over the Shap pass...absolutely beautiful sunny day..we had to come back today as advised not to travel tomorrow...stay safe everyone

[@CelticGirl78]

@Derek Account Haha 😄 it wasn't at all bad was it, no trees near Caerlaverock were down at all.

[@stevengarrington8820]

Sorted out the garden, nothing to fly away there, tied down the wood store roof, now hope for the best - our first ever red warning for wind, love from Cardiff!

[@tracytabb2882]

we didnt get bad wind in fife last nite. but we do seem to be gettin the gale force wind today tho. now we got snow tomoz fab

[@nigeljohnston1802]

I'm in Glenshee and dear old Dudley stayed well away from us thankfully. We've had so many bad storms and power outages this winter - we needed a break. Role on that hot ballmy Scottish summer we all know and love 😉.

[@sunshineonacloudyday2692]

And it's just poured down with hailstones!!! Looks like a mini covering of snow.

[@johnwick1483]

hope my fence is ok

[@benmgscully7634]

I live in south Wales so I'm on the border of the red. And I have to walk to work tomorrow 😳

[@davidshillito5174]

looks like even more new fence panels.

[@colbroon1975]

Get them trampolines secured and lock the back gate.✌️

[@andrewkitchenuk]

It's winter, it's windy. Why does everything nowadays have to be made into such a drama. I'm sure we'll survive.

[@BeepOW]

I don't think you understand the potential danger of 90+mph winds.

[@verandisoldusty6834]

Say that again after your roof has been blown off & your kitchen & living room flooded by the extreme high tide & excessive rain!

[@Flash81_]

🤡🤡

[@ascgazz]

If you don’t like weather forecasts, why do you comment on so many, Andrew?

[@barryroberts2196]

No fishing for me tomorrow then !!🙃

[@number1audreyfan]

Quick everyone, time for another lockdown!!!

[@anthonywilliamson7323]

Don’t panic mr mainwaring

[@LightningMcqueenFan-vf2hh]

I just managed to escape all the weather warnings caused by the storm by the narrowest of margins. I stay in Inverness which is in northern Scotland but I still got a little bit of snow. That Storm was mad.

[@bleedinqmxscara_8898]

Have fun flying

[@TheTimmyH]

It's been slightly downgraded over the last 12 hours...yesterday widely gusts to 80mph over southern England but slightly less now -sting jet could cause the biggest gusts towards the east and south east.

[@michaelstreeter3125]

Lundy - grim at the best of times.

[@conesuela1]

RIP Fence panels

[@ColossulTitan]

Normal day in northern Ireland then 😂😂😂

[@maddie-my5om]

Oh no I'll be flying tomorrow

[@bombaybadboy187]

Is it now classed as a cyclone and not a storm surely with the sting jet occuring?

[@danstastudios2602]

No, it is not. A cyclone is a form of a tropical storm (of which there are 5 types), which ONLY originate in places with a sea surface temperature higher than 27 degrees celsius and only in South Asia. 😀 hope that answers the question

[@DavidTheScientist]

@@danstastudios2602 Cyclone/typhoon/hurricane... Same thing, different oceans. But yes, as you say, they need to be tropical in origin.

[@adampaul4454]

Michael fish said it's going to be clear and sunny

[@sdeee3842]

👍🏾🥰

[@bludymaryjane]

in an amber area, bit windy out there

[@killerboy_pro0990]

I got no school till next week because this week is my half term

[@caitlinhoward7124]

Is er gonna be a snowstorm in Dublin

[@QtJackx]

stay safe billy lmao

[@Thegreat772]

Is this the biggest storm since 87

[@Chevron_]

maybe, but we don't know yet.

[@killerboy_pro0990]

So im at home all day

[@pizzyp]

Similar to "The Great Storm" of 87

[@jamesschweitzer5028]

Let's just hope it's not that bad

[@michaelespeland]

Yes, but it probably wont be that bad as the forcasts has it slightly weaker than it was a few days ago

[@michaelespeland]

@@Sam88-l4k They didnt give it a red warning simply because it is forecast to be stronger. Its because its closer to landfall now than it was a few days ago, so the models are more accurate. You never issue red warnings 3-4-5 days in advance if the condidtions are uncertain, which they often are with strong systems developing off a surge in the jet stream. Models were both deeper and stronger on tuesday than what they are now.

[@fizz77lukiemiksua42]

this storm was silly

[@mrcbeee]

This is the second report I have watched now - what is wrong with calling South-West England Cornwall?

[@Jin-Ro]

Because not all of SW England is Cornwall.

[@MackerelCat]

Because of that massive great honking county called Devon

[@Flash81_]

Because Devon and Somerset are also SW England....

[@mrcbeee]

@@Flash81_ I know that, but there is very little specificity in what he is saying. Just because that is the weather at point A doesn't mean it is at point B. They mention places when talking about other areas, just not the SW.
