Bit draughty, eh what?



Wind suddenly kicked off at 2230. Thankfully easing now, but a very sleepless night with sustained noisy strong wind and vicious gusts.

For those that need conversions:
65 kts = 75 mph = 120 km/h

Upper end of Beaufort Scale (mph):
39 - 46 Fresh gale breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress
47 - 54 Strong gale slight structural damage occurs; chimney pots and slates removed
55 - 63 Whole gale trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs
64 - 72 Storm very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage
73+ Hurricane devastation occurs
