Recent gust of 87mph at Land's End, 90mph on Scilly,

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.

Gust of 105mph recorded on St Martin's Scilly, 93mph at St Mary's, 88mph Land's End, all between 17:00 & 19:00.

At that time the wind was a F9-10 across west Cornwall and F11 at Land's End and on Scilly, yet we had a yellow wind warning. The wind has now dropped below gale force, even at Land's End, and an orange warning has just come into force. Just thought I'd mention it.

I was planning to check the cpttage at Mousehole about now. The prom and road through Newlyn are still flooded by the sea, the back road is blocked by branches etc. The prom has been badly damaged.

Apparently Mullion harbour is also badly damaged after years of neglect. (owned by the NT - who would rather spend the money on Piskey tea towels and destroying hottentot figs which hold the cliffs together)

When the tide drops a bit I'll have a look around and probably upload a few photos.
