Beggars belief when people are calling a few mph a downgrade.
If you get hit by an 80mph gust, is it going to cause much less damage than an 85mph gust? Unlikely.
Tomorrow could see some major disruption and whilst it may not be as strong and powerful as 1987, we now have a much larger population and I fear for life, I really do, especially when many interested in the weather aren’t taking it seriously enough.
