I drove from Salisbury to Plymouth Sunday PM and tho' wet and windy I missed the worst of it. This morning the outer front door of my block of flats was smashed to kindling. Needless to say I slept through it all. Plymouth generally is okay apart from the public transport system collapsing completely. Fortunately I live 10 minutes walk from work.

In this part of the country the effects don't seem as bad as the hurricane of '87, but I was living in Kent then which was really badly hit, and I suspect has been again.
