Red Weather Warning for Friday

***jamie_1875*** · 23-01-2025 01:06 PM

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.

Yes. Julie Fowlis and the SCO at Celtic Connections. All Friday CC gigs now postponed. Don't fancy being in their shoes having to reorganise ....

Kids off school! Could cry

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.

Nope not me, my Wife did and about **** herself 😆

***Berwickhibby*** · 23-01-2025 05:05 PM

Me….nearly pooped my pants …. Adrenaline is brown

***Keith_M*** · 23-01-2025 05:13 PM

I got a really loud warning on ma phone a few minutes ago.

I had to change ma pants.

EDIT: I see I wasn't the only one

***alhibby*** · 23-01-2025 06:27 PM

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

**Pretty Boy** · 23-01-2025 07:17 PM

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

***danhibees1875*** · 23-01-2025 07:40 PM

To be fair, I hadn't thought about panic buying but I do need to get some milk in soon...

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.

People are thick as *hit

I’m sure the alert said something about candles, torches, batteries and the like.

At the time I thought it was a sure fire invitation for folk to panic bulk buy and that it would be a hellish night in the supermarkets.

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 morning

Worse than I expected at this time - just had to run out to the garden and move some things around

EDI airport is already at 30knots gusting 42

I'm just along the road in Kirkliston!

Maybe my interpretation isn't as harsh as others 😃

I'm in WL too and I had the dog out early as it's pretty bad here. Loads of branches down already.

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.

When and where it's expected to be bad.

And major supermarkets have closed so panic buying wasn't such a bad idea.
