Overhyped Weather Warning?

So far as this part of the UK is concerned the current weather warning
has proved, again, to be unnecessarily alarmist.
Here, we experienced lower wind speeds and less rainfall than during the
event on the 30th November during which a maximum gust of 44mph occurred
and we experienced 62.2mm of rain.
The figures for this event, so far, are 39mph and 17mm.
Not overhyped here Alan, many reports in west Cornwall of gusts 80mph,
and it looks like 90mph was reached on some headlands. (65mph at the
back of Pz)
Worst gale of the century (not saying much I know) in the far SW.
