Wow it's a bit breezy up in NCL at the moment, don't think it was forecast to be as bad as this:

EGNT 261450Z 26044G73KT 9999 7000NW -SHRA SCT030 09/03 Q0989

47 - 54 Strong gale slight structural damage occurs; chimney pots and slates removed
55 - 63 Whole gale trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs
64 - 72 Storm very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage
73+ Hurricane devastation occurs


Taken from the Beaufort Wind Scale those gusts are at hurricane levels.
