massive gust during the morning of about 55 mph, which for an urban
environment is pretty strong.

We had a gust of 60mph in Coventry at 0600hr on Saturday - the strongest
here since at least 1986.

Hi Steve,

Didn't the Octboer 2000 storm produce any stronger gusts ? East Midlands
reported a gust of 64KT on that day but we were in the "Sting Jet" region.
