Hi, Norman,
I was just about to post that!
20 miles east and 2,000ft lower, current Copley a tad more pleasant, but
still very unpleasant and a gale 10min 12:40Z WSW 38G50KT with driving rain.

Nothing like that in Tideswell. Hunkered down in our N/S valley we've had
nothing more than Force 6 with gusts to 35 knots but I can hear the wind
roaring through the trees on the crest of the ridge about 250 yards to the west
and about 100 feet higher up.
