Wow, that is a big wind.
It has been up around 40kn all day here, I think Jersey are feeling the worst of it locally.
Dover Coastguard had a 61kn.

According to Jersey Airport we've only had around 25-28 knots, feels like more though

It's gusting at 40 kts down here (near Hastings). I'm driving down there in a minute to take a look - I love seeing the sea in anger!

Bramblemet BRAMBLEMET - Weather Reports from Bramble Bank appears to be down at the moment, but Chimet CHIMET - Weather Reports from Chichester Bar is reporting gusts of 43knots with a men of 35.2knots.
The wind is certainly rattling the window of my office here on the banks of langstone harbour.
