We still have a yellow warning which has been in place since yesterday morning. I went out to stock up on store cupboard supplies after I got it and the roads and local shops were mad busy, so I can't have been the only one!

Husband was woken in the night by something going bang in the wind and our guttering sounded like a drum solo at 8am so I'm baffled at people being surprised by this.
