It's already bad enough here that all bridges are closed, so I'm really curious how much worse it'll get.

Shouldn't be so bad for you. We had a lot of rain and trees were uprooted but it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Definately not as bad as the storm of 87

Well of course not, but I cannot remember the last time the wind was this bad here.
Just went for a walk and 4 big trees have fallen on houses in just 300 meters of street and the heavy metal bike shelter from our neighbors has currently moved a couple of meters, pushed back everything that stood behind it, and is currently a meter in the air.

1 dead in Amsterdam

Wow I would have thought it would have blown it's self out by the time it got to you. I stand corrected. It really didn't seem that bad where I was. We have had two or three deaths but one of those was a 14 year old who thought it would be a good idea to go for a swim in a force 8 gale.

2 in England, 1 was a 17 yr old girl crushed in her sleep by falling tree on to her caravan

Another one crushed in their car by a tree in Watford on their commute to work.x

2 dead at least, things falling everywhere.....

Got in my car at 05:30 and was almost blown off the road at the highway

Netherlands will get it real bad due to the flatness of the land. No hills, valleys or mountains to slow the airflow down.

Today in the West of Scotland there was barely enough wind to fly a kite

lots of trees down in Amsterdam,, a few houseboats down from local acd member, a tree fell and sunk a houseboat

Thats worse than what happened here 2 weeks ago, we had boat damage totaling over £100,000 and some house damage around the south coast of england, but to loose your house i couldn't imagine the feeling hope they got out ok

Saw some images yesterday (England, NL and Belgium), people couldn't stand on their legs in Brussels, advertising panels flying fast everywhere, that was crazy

Also seen a HUGE wave surfed by a Brazilian dude in Portugal

Just the south of England, we got lucky in the middle of the country, that would have destroyed brum.
