Storm Warning

There have been storm warnings for the last few days  - with the storm expected last night / this morning. I cleared the garden - putting away furniture and the BBQ.
Sam received an email saying First Capital Connect were not running any services from midnight till at least nine this morning so she planned to work from home.
I woke a couple of times in the night and heard nothing. I was woken at around five by the wind howling but we missed the worst of it here in Luton.
Sadly four people have been killed by falling trees and the wind reached 99 miles an hour in some areas. Transport was badly hit and many homes were without power. The storm was nicknamed St Jude as it was St Jude's Day today. It was the worst storm in the UK for a decade.
