100% right call to warn folk to stay at home today…some of the gusts have been mental.
Some people will do anything for that pint of milk and loaf of bread...Quote:

Does seem to be easing now I think.
Just seen a wee graphic showing the windspeed in Fraserburgh, 1989 being 142mph!!
Good to see the Evening News has hidden the information about the storn behind a paywall. Very public service focused!
Good for you. I’m going to be spending some time doing a good bit of repair work to my back fence. Are you suggesting its all fake news thats being reported wherever you turn?Quote:

Trying to work out what has happened. Was it scaffolding that has collapsed?Quote:

The shops are all closed around us and, while it's a minor inconvenience, I'd rather that than the poor sods that work there risking their safety just so I can do some shopping.
A tree fell on the road at Easthouses.Quote:

That estate is full of man caves and sheds etc in the gardens. Probably something like that I’d imagineQuote:

Crikey!Quote:

My business is in a similarish building to that, probably the same part of the world. I'm a stoic sort and took a bit of convincing to close for the day. Very glad with hindsight, stuff flying off roofs and onto people isn't a crazy notion. Fortunately not many people out there and most have heeded the instructions to stay indoors.
Still very gusty here in the Lindsay Road area.Quote:

Not out here in falkirk, it's mental, I left edinburgh about half 3 and it wasn't so bad, got home and it's still crazy, M9 had trees blown over the road all over the placeQuote:

My garden is wrecked. Fences are fine but storage boxes and bin stores not in good Nick. Garden furniture rearranged and some lighting smashed.
Power is back on after 4 hours off in South Lanarkshire.
Fair play the engineers, the online predictor had it back on lunch time
tomorrow.
Dozens of trees blown down, I’ve lost a fence, a double width gate and it looks like the kids play house may not make it through the night.
Wind is still as wild as it was at lunchtime today. We have a really wide front window in the living room and you can see the PVC flexing when the wind gusts.
Still bad here in Leith. No sign of it dying down yet.Quote:
