Wind speeds in Old Buckenham

 Blowing hard

Wind speeds measured at the Old Buckenham airfield on Sunday and Monday showed a maximum of just over 50 knots or 58  mph if you prefer. Those at the Airfield suspect that’ll prove to be a high for the entire ‘storm season’. It’s also likely that the airfield will have had the highest local wind speed being nearly the most elevated point and have almost total exposure to the West.

Damage there was mainly signage so probably got off lightly.  Power cuts effectively cut the stations’ connection to the internet from Thursday until Saturday so no real time analysis has been possible.
