Doris reached a peak at about 6 am here in N Ireland with raging wind and rain belting off the windows to wake us from our slumbers.
Not much damage fortunately - it blew over a trellis and an arch in the garden and a few pots "repositioned".
It began to calm down after midday.
I was very relieved that we had our ridge tiles fixed more securely in December last.
From the news today it reached mainland UK a few hours later, and some Northern areas has snow
.
Batten down the hatches folk!
