Recent gust of 83mph at Land's End, 76kt at St Ives and it's still increasing.

Now having to turn off the computer as the electricity supply is about to give up.

Wildest weather so far, and that's saying something for this winter. It's going to be a damaging couple of high tides.

Electricity's on at the moment, though it isn't in many parts of Penzance. Recent gust of 87mph at Land's End, 90mph on Scilly, though it's died back a bit now, before it picks up again overnight. Strongest winds for a few years.

Plenty of sirens from the prom area, probably due to flooding, but I'm not venturing out this time. A large chunk of tree recently landed in the garden, fortunately missing the Stevenson Screen.

All bus services in west Cornwall now suspended, many roads blocked, the number of trees down probably in 3 figures. A30 into Penzance closed due to debris on the road. Last train due into Penzance appears to have hit a tree near Lostwithiel.

A bit of classic this one.
