When I saw the forecast last night it showed the pressure charts and it
looked like the storm was weakening substantially as it approached the SW,
yet they were still forecasting 70-80mph gusts. If that storm crossed the UK
at full intensity it could have been bringing 100+ mph gusts.

If you click through onto the 'current weather' webpage on the telegraph
site you'll see that pressures are more suited to the surface of Mars at
99.5mb for Newcastle and in the 90's of mb for the rest of the UK.......
