sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 On the train coming back from that there London. We're already been told we're going to be delayed due to the winds and now we're stuck outside the Emirates as someone has just chucked themselves under another train. GREAT.

Got up to our place in East Kilbride at 10am only for the bloke to ring me at half ten to say they had to postpone it. Schools closed up there so people taking day off etc. All due to a bit of wind. (Was damn windy tbf like on drive back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Some pics on the Daily Mail website. Looks like my part of the land and Largs got it the worst during the day though it appears to be have been worse between maybe 4-8 so not sure what other damage their has been.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2071633/UK-weather-Wind-turbine-EXPLODES-hurricane-force-gusts-batter-Northern-Britain.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 storm in a teacup - no damage done to my plantpot and the litter has been cleared - a real day of carnage in my garden although there are 2 puddles that haven't evaporated yet - aside from all the BS I got the shoppin done, walked the dug a few times, my fitba training was on (outdoors - cos we're fkin rock hard up here) and I had a few beers - all done by walking/running tae the places noted - over cautious nanny state bollox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
