The wind has certainly picked up here in the last hour or so. I have got a oak tree in my front garden and i shite myself when it gets windy like this.
I live on top of a steep hill and get huge gusts, it keeps me awake wondering if the roof is going to survive
if I can't sleep I get up and watch the trees swaying in the wind, but they are far enough away from me
Peak gust today at 6.00 PM was 74 mph in mumbles, no too far from me
