This morning, despite yesterday's doom predictions of a repeat of October1987's damage, they still try and keep all the hype that worse is yet to come tonight.
Storm in a teacup, more likely.
In fact, the storm was well-forecast. Forecasts are based on model output data: there was good agreement with this for a track across N England at the end of last week and over the weekend the output started to produce solutions with an increasingly southern track and forecasts were updated accordingly.
Severe weather, with trees down, power disruption, structural damage and coastal flooding occurred at locations across S Wales, the SW corner of England and the Channel Islands. Anyone reading the latest from the Met Office on Sunday would have agreed that this was a good call by them.
Tomorrows morning Storm will track further North - I expect 60 mph plus winds across a wide area of Central / North England. This is actually quite high wind speeds fro inland areas and it will result in damage / transport problems.
