Blimey it was stormaggeddon I even had to tie some cable around a section of fence rail that it tore away from the post.
Seriously as said above didn’t even get close to the storm of '87. We lost a considerable amount of the chimney and roof tiling in that and we were very lucky compared to the other damage it caused.
Socialist builders i expect 
That storm of 87 is seared into the memory,I was on the trade plates trying to thumb a lift on the a34,after a Bristol delivery,saw 4 artics in a row driver side down,4 hours in pitch black just outside that pub thats now a scrapyard,Bullington or something sim,near Winchester.
Ended up sheltering in one of those plastic trees the kiddies play on as real trees cascaded to the ground,bloody precarious scenario.
Was rescued by a French transporter driver in the morning and dropped off at Oxford station in a considerable ramshackled state.Yep that was a mother of a storm.

Soft southern jessies. We’ve been putting up with this in northern England and Scotland since November.
Isn’t there a post somewhere where you refused to drive a Decker because of a little gust some time 12-18 months ago?

I was parked up in Newquay last night and with 52 pallets of glass on weighing in at over 22 tonne I was [zb] it in bed thinking I was going over more than once
Got to my drop at a cider farm near Truro and wind speeds were 80mph and it was constant with not a single second of respite. We had to stop tipping for just over 2 hours due to the risk of the truck going over. There was what looked like an artic tipper on its side up near the Jamaica Inn on the A30.
Id say it’s the worse ive known it since I have been driving.
1987 was bad,but as you say this was worse

Went to Brecon today, was a bit twitchy up the top of Bwlch hill.
The hardest part was opening my door once I got to the destination. I had to really face my way out and when the door opened a crack it almost got ripped off.Tomorrow should be fun, Andover, Bath, chipping Norton and Faringdon. That bit on the 419 over the old ciren road makes me arse twitch at the best of times.
I delivered to Brecon homebase during the storms year before last,that was something else,didnt mind going there,coming back to the M4 I was more or less driving on the wrong side due to the high winds and 50 to a 100 ft drop on my side,not nice
CHAINSAW:
First time in a rigid for a long time and Imogen came as close to toppling me as I have ever come in 15 years, A46 out of Bath at the top of the hill as it opens out how the [zb] I saved it I do not know it felt like I was on two wheels for a second, twitchy arse time…
know how you felt

Probably just differences in different parts of the country. 
Remember 87 very well, I was 15 in Canterbury. The school lost so many trees, I remember being disappointed at one of them that was millimetres from taking out the classroom block. I think the Gordon Kaye incident was in another storm a year or so later.
Luckily I was parked up at Cannock last night, I had expected to be driving back to Kent.
