Drove home last night from Kent just after midnight - only felt a gust of wind once. Looking around this morning, twigs, leaves, quite a lot of blossom blown around but no indication of significant damage.
AA Travel reports 2 roads blocked by trees in S Wales, Severn and Milford Haven bridges closed to high-sided vehicles. 82 mph gust at Aberdaron, nothing elsewhere above 55 mph except in S Wales.
Worth strong words in the forecast but a yellow warning should have been only for a more limited area? and certainly not worth naming as far as the UK goes (Eire reports may be different)
