    a guy who seems to know his stuff is saying that ireland is temporarily experiencing a lull in winds but he says it will strengthen again soon as squalls cross the country and meanwhile in south england they think it could get as bad as the famous 87 event because such high winds are rarely experienced down there so damage will easily occur. see the bottom of this page:

    The storm was said to be worse when the wind changes to a westerly direction, read that on a site somewhere. We must be in the thick of it now then, but it will calm again during the night/morning before it picks up strength again in the afternoon, (sunday).
