The worst of it here on the north Cornwall coast is right now. That cat is not going outside today. The wind seems to die down for a minute or two then we have massive gusts. We've had several awful windstorms during our 35 years in this house and we've had several insurance claims down the years for damaged roofs and demolished greenhouses. Not recently, thank goodness. This one is definitely up there with the worst of 'em. We were glanced by the Great Storm of 1987, but the worst one to date here was the Burns' Day storm in 1990. We're starting to get little power cuts now...
