Those who turned to BBC Radio last night and this morning will have found a curate's egg of Isha coverage.

I turned to "BBC Local South" at 10pm, to be welcomed by Pat Sissons straight into "Flashdance" by Irene Cara, and a promise of conversations with Pat's producer about how difficult it had been to get into work. Overnight I tried BBC Radio Scotland, with the nation battling through a red alert; they were still re-broadcasting Radio 5 Live, which in turn was on a rebroadcast of Newscast. 

After six a.m, Radio Scotland's storm coverage kicked off with the Independent's Simon Calder in Euston Station. The Today Programme got to their hapless reporter in Blackpool just before quarter past six, who was information-lite and difficult to hear. 

The BBC Live online page closed at 10pm. It restarted at 4.15am. At 7.39am, it brought us some transcripts of Simon Calder's conversations with BBC Breakfast.
