    Does anybody know any links to station updates? I keep getting told that Kings cross is closed but can't find any confirmation?

    This morning I got the train into KC, the underground was closed so had to walk to Euston. While walking past a building a load of tiles flew off a roof and smashed all around me and about 20 other people... was like getting bombarded with artillery... not that I know what that is like anyway :/

    If you are out and about today, please drive carefully and considerably as the weather really isn't pleasant!
    Super windy here, couldn't sleep.

    We just got an email that London Bridge Station is closed... Roof fallen in!

    Underground open though. PHEW!

    Kings cross underground was open this morning when i went through about 9.30am

    Oh and my Dad is now stuck in Brussels (oh dear) overnight because they've cancelled all the eurostar's home.

    Just checked the update on the trains - not looking good at all for some areas and even the ever popular Manchester to Manchester Airport run has been cancelled due to the wind.

    My mates school building got its roof blown off and 10 windows blown in.

    At my school we had to stay insite for a while and my mate got hit on the head by a slate from the roof.

    On the way home quite a few trees down and one very tall silver birch had gone into the side of a house.

    But the worst thing is my hairs all messed up!!!

    Just looked out of my window to see lots of tiles on the floor from these new (ie, less than 2 years old) barrack block buildings....

    Copy/paste from my post in another forum (don't worry, it's not a tech-related one) :

    Here in north Northumberland (England) we were due to have increasing winds as the day wore on, but it's not changed - slight breeze, but that's it.

    We had snow from when I woke up until I left the house, but as it had rained heavily during the night, it didn't really lie - just turned into a fine slush on the road. Further north I went (16 miles to work) the more it turned into rain. Not a lot of fun biking with so much standing water, but no problems as such, and it made a nice change to Tuesday and to an extent yesterday, which was just solid ice all the way. How I didn't have a big scary accident I've no idea.

    Was expecting to have to catch the bus home tonight given the forecast for gusts of 80mph, but they just didn't materialise. Will see if we get it tonight or tomorrow instead.

    Its mental in my town, the main road running through was blocked off after the wind ripped the front of a pub off.

    Well ain't that nice.

    On hold on the phone to Churchill now. Along with 2935823856 other people no doubt.

    Got home to find that a slate had blown off a roof and smashed right through our bedroom window.

    There's glass all over the bloody place. :-/
