After St. Jude

Unlike the storm of 1987, last night's St. Jude (as it was named) was forecast with what looked like high accuracy several days in advance.

Hundreds of trees were blown down (like the one above in Putney) causing all sorts of transport woes.

On the plus side we Brits love talking about the weather so you won't be surprised to hear that #ukstorm2013 is trending on Twitter.
