It is Hurricane Bawbag part 2. Most if not all rail services are closed. Vans are flipping over and the Glasgow central station was evacuated due to a damaged roof.

Yeah, this sounds like they are doing the best considering the situation.

0933: A spokeswoman for First ScotRail said passengers on trains were being brought into the nearest stations and taxis were being arranged for them and in some cases, nearby hotels.
"This is a controlled shutdown of the rail network," she said. "We are getting customers off trains and getting them taxis to where they need to be.
"But we are letting them stay on the trains to make calls if they need to. We are not just chucking them straight off.
"We are trying to do everything we can to support customers."

Always feel bad for those reporters they make stand outside in gale force winds.

What's going on?

A little windy in London, but well otherwise.

Got nothing here in Liverpool, just an asston of wind but that's not out of the usual.

I thought we already had one of these this year. Surely it's "the biggest storm in a couple of months"

Note, this isn't the Lorry reported on the news, but one overturned in Gateshead. Posted by my friend on facebook:

Lucky not to go over the bridge

Very windy here in Leeds, but I wouldn't call it a storm, at least not yet.

Holy crap, ouch.

Feel free to keep us updated! Stay safe ScotGAF!

very windy here on the coast dog didn't want to go for a walk this morning

I'm on the top of a 6 story building in Newcastle in what looks and feels like a floor that was tacked on as an afterthought.

The windows were very visibly moving earlier, it's all calmed down a bit now but fucking hell.

My sons trampoline made a bid for freedom this morning I went to recover it in my dressing gown and had a Marilyn Monroe moment cock flapping like a windsock!

Manchester is really strong winds and rain, nothing too spooky yet.

My gate got blown off, very windy

The tidal storm surge tonight/tomorrow will be the biggest threat for the east coast on England and part of Europe. Most serious in over 60 years. Flood protection walls/dykes will be tested.

glad i'm too hungover to go outside, but it definitely sounds windy here in edinburgh

Very windy here in Leeds, and was pissing down with rain earlier, but can't see if that's still going on from my desk.

A level 3 was issued for NE Netherlands, NW and N Germany and extreme S Denmark mainly for extreme wind gusts, and to a lesser extent for tornadoes.

I'm near Glasgow as well. I was on the school run this morning walking my two young boys up the road and we had to return back home it was that bad. The kids were petrified.

Now it's clear blue skies.

Rarely, there are also (small) tornadoes in Central Europe. Not sure they are necessarily related to big storms like this though.

No one really cares though because our houses are not made of cardboard glued together with spit.

This is the biggest threat to life right here. The highest tides of the year in combination with a North Sea storm surge. Tonight could be quite the night on the East Coast of England.

I'm betting the Thames Barrier goes up tonight. Along with many people being evacuated from their homes on the East Coast.

ROUND 2.


FINISH HIM. Extremely windy in London. Nothing worrisome though.

What? Massive surge? Ah shit. Any specified areas?

In Manchester and the wind is howling around outside. I want some crisps but I might get cold so going to have some beans on toast and wait it out a while.
