If anyone is interested to see an objective summary of the storm's
development and progress then please see:

NB This is a rather large blog post starting off with a number of unrelated
phtos etc. But if you jump about 2/3 of the way down to the section that
starts 'So to the major storm of October 28th...' and just before the
weather maps you'll find the analytical details that relate to the storm.
It's semi-technical but still fairly readable by any interested lay person.
