I'm not from the U.K. but:

It's stormey (south west, windforce approx.10) outhere in The Netherlands aswell. Sideflap of a truck blew open and the load spread all over the highway..aluminum roofplates were blown off..planes can hardly land or take off..our fencedoor blew open aswell, but we fixed it real soon

the winds out here are immense, in the rooms without double glazing, you can actually feel the wind coming into the room through gaps in the window. My room is one of them, the door keeps rattling (i cant close it cos there is a network cable in the way)

The storm has now arrived to Denmark, with the speed of 40 m/s (meters per second).
1 has been killed so far.

Og yea, i'm sure. Some places here in Denmark its 32 m/s, but other places its 40

32 m/s = 115 km/h = 72 mph
40 m/s = 144 km/h = 89 mph



45 km/h here...

3 people is now dead here in Denmark.

Anyone remember the big storm on the 3rd of december 1999?, there were the wind over 42 m/s

it was really bad over here last night in  Northern ireland
signs and all blew down

It's been bad here too. We had a 40 car pile-up on the main highway to Vancouver (The Kokahala highway), and a lot of other crashes around town becasue of the snow. People here don't seem to have any winter driving skills so they drive like it's summer AND it's a drag strip and hope for the best
