Told earlier in the day that emergency calls for ambulances were being delayed because rear doors of the vehicles were being blown off.

Also on local news: tragically an 80 year old was died while trying to repair his blown down fence. I couldn't help but think that perhaps he might have waited while the storm subsided.

Also Blackpool Prom made the national news, obviously it is a place where reporters can show their bravado in the face of a storm without the risk of being crushed by falling trees.

Winds died down now.
