Wow - I'm always amazed at the power of these things, just because of the spin and low pressure. Back home we regularly have 150 mph plus winds (twice over 200mph in the last 30 years) and the worst we ever got was the odd roof tile removed, and bus toppled.

But that is just from constant westerlies...

Think I'd not cope very well with a hurricane...my reflexes would assume I'd be fine...and then I'd probably not be!

I hope all of you based there are okay!
