The calm between the storms: The wind has dropped and the sun shines, today, but it will only be short lived. The next low pressure system awaits its turn over the Atlantic and will sweep across the country overnight. Winds up to 70 mph (113km/h) are predicted, but it is not expected to bring as much chaos to coastal regions in the south west as Wednesday's offering, since when it hits the tides will not be high.
All of this must seem like a bit of a whinge, as there are other parts of the world that suffer much worse - and probably for longer - but we are simply not accustomed to this sort of thing in the UK; well, not all at once. But I'm sure we will deal with it in much the same way as we have done so with adverse situations in the past, and one day old men will talk about such times in hushed tones to anyone willing to listen.
