About an hour earlier and we'd have been okay but think it's set in now

Airport reporting gusts 63mph from the 15z metar. The main runway runs W-E and the wind is from the South so its blowing across the runway so that would be why

Runway was basically flooded as well apparently. All easyJet flights cancelled rest of day so my brother not flying either. A right nuisance as it's a total waste of a day and sad for my old grandma who was looking forward to us coming - she turns 99 in a few weeks
