An old lady in Stockport got killed by the weather. It blew a wall over on top of her. That's not something you read about very often, but in this case she was only one of about ten killed nationally, and just one of 40 killed in Northern Europe. There's no record of how many people were injured, how much property was destroyed, or how many cars and lorries were blown over.

Oh, and some railway passengers got delayed.

I saw three of them being interviewed on the news. The woman was kinda stoic about it, she accepted that stuff happens, the two guys felt differently. Quite independently of each other they both rolled their eyes in resignation as they pointed out that it's always the same, a little bit of bad weather and everything shuts down.

It's like they thought that the railway companies actually enjoyed making life difficult for them and were using a bit of wind as an excuse to torment them further. Tell you what, guys, look on the bright side. If you'd got home on time you might have been the one under that wall when it fell over.
