Red weather warning in place for tomorrow. Looking like schools and other places being closed, police issuing a do not travel statement. The BBC weather lady saying worst she has seen for high winds.
Hope everyone stays safe.

All schools and nurseries in Edinburgh and Midlothian shut. All trains in Scotland off. My workplace is closed so , ahem, working from home.
Red weather warning until 5pm. Trains off ALL DAY. :grr:Quote:

Anyone else get one of those government warnings to their phone? A few people I know did but nothing for me so far.
Edit: Just got one now.

:faf:
LRT are suspending all services between 1000 and 1700, that will cause major headaches
Just said that this will cause disruption until the end of service tomorrow
My wife just text me to say Asda is rammed with people panic buying. People literally scrapping in the aisles over milk and bread😅😅😅😅😅
It's one day of wind FFS. What is wrong with people? Even if there are a few logistical issues to iron out afterwards it will be 2-3 days max until deliveries catch up. No one is going to starve.
For a nation that fetishes war and the 'blitz spirit' we'd be totally ****ed if such sacrifice was ever required again.
**My wife works there, she isn't one of the shoppers
To be fair, I hadn't thought about panic buying but I do need to get some milk in soon... :dizzy:
Yip. I just had to drive to Bonnyrigg from Galahsiels and had 5 miles in the tank. Went to Asda and there was massive queues which is unheard of in Galahsiels.Quote:

Quite disappointing so far in a weird way...just walked the dogs and it's just a normal windy day 🤔
Dunno where you are but here in WL it's already a bit more than a windy morningQuote:

Pretty tame in the Borders so far!
In saying that, just had an iron bru can roll across the patio.
It's over Northern Ireland just now, so yes expected to hit Scotland in next few hours.Quote:

When and where it's expected to be bad.
And major supermarkets have closed so panic buying wasn't such a bad idea.
Im just in after walking my dog, he got blown over mid poop, he has rage face now 🤭Quote:
