Seems there's a massive windstorm ripping across the UK, and it's threatening to tear the roof off the main Imperial War Museum hangar at Duxford. Nearby roads have been closed and a one-mile "exclusion zone" set up due to possible flying debris. Hope everything and everyone survives the storm!

Likely only the external cladding, not the solid roof structure.

I talked with a friend in the area earlier today and he said there was no major damages there. The biggest problems were power outages from fallen trees.
