All your concern is greatly appreciated.....I'm down here near sunny(???) Southampton next to the New Forest and like Morticia it was the fence panels. They didn't fall down in one piece...they broke up like driftwood!
The plum tree is at a very funny angle and the wind is building up out there again now (11pm).
Lots of localised flooding, trees down, no trains running....etc.

Could be far worse......the poor people in the mobile homes in Selsey, their homes just flipped over!

Just sitting here now imagining all that US sun!!
best wishes and thanks, Yvonne
