See storm smashing county (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

somerset

'county' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'see storm smashing' is the wordplay.
'smashing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'see'+'storm'='seestorm'
'seestorm' is an anagram of 'SOMERSET'.

(Other definitions for somerset that I've seen before include "Rome's set up in this English county" , "Southwest English county" , "Street location" , "leap, occasionally" , "English county in the West Country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
