I saw this too. The eye passed directly over the isle of Wight, later

I got the impression that they where IR sat images. Heavens for Betsy, not
more TV lies?

The swirl was impressive - and four times larger than a hurricane the
narrator said in the opening title.

I thought that came from the blonde author doing the pseudo scientific
stuff. She said something else that instantly rang the "wrong" bell but
can't remember what it was. What ever even the '87 storm was a little
kitten compared to a real Hurricane. The key bit is that over here gust
speeds are reported rather than the sustained speeds of an Atlantic
hurricane.

I had nothing better to do so stuck with it but wasn't overly impressed.
WTF the pregnant woman *had* to go to hospital is beyond me. If the Dr's
had any worries about her they have had her in days before. Giving birth,
in the vast majority of cases, is not life threating. We wouldn't be here
if it was FFS!.
