Stair rods rain here, like a tap left running. The wind was
non-existent but there's just the faintest sound of it starting up.
Nothing dramatic though.

It is getting a bit windy up here now. We are more than 200 feet
higher than Berry Head where 106 kph gusts have just been recorded.
Not going to bed just yet, the noise of bits of tree hitting the
windows would keep me awake so settling down with a book for a while.

It really was not that bad. A substantial branch down on the rear
lawn and small debris covering all the south and west elevations of
the building. Flooded frontage where piles of leaves swamped the
surface water drains. No tiles appear to have moved this time. One
tree down at the end of the close and another at the bottom of the
hill but the gusts were not as high as forecast - around 100 kph
recorded at Berry Head at midnight and then 1, 2 and 4 am.
