Usually they bang on about storms for ages in the paper and on the news, when it comes around it's usually only a bin that's blown over.
But with Katie, there wasn't too much warning (or maybe there was, and I just missed it?) but it was pretty bad down South.
A mate of mine at work was flying back from Holiday yesterday - the plane attempted to land at Heathrow but due to the crosswinds had to be diverted to Manchester and then had to get National Express back down to London!
