Winds inScotland 08/11/2011

Stay safe, everyone ...

Not looking forward to tomorrow having seen the forecast!! Live in Lancs but winds look to be gale force and we are so close to the sea. I agree stay safe and indoors unless necessary !

I am in North East Scotland, Elgin, oh I hate the wind it is so strong and cold off the north sea, cant stand it really. Hope you are all ok, stay indoors.

Just had to add.... my OH bought me a Poinsetta at the weekend and as he turned the corner at the road end the wind took it and snapped it, he was so sad, I have put it in water and it has picked up slightly. Do any of you think it will live?? I put some rooting gel on it then put in water, not sure if I re-plant it it will work? :o(

Hello N3tyy , sorry to hear of OH, I'm know expert but has two chances, have added a link for you to copy and to paste into address bar.

Good luck, N3tyy, with saving the Poinsettia. :o)

Hope we don't get it as bad as forecast either Tommy,but as we are approx halfway between coasts..we may be a bit luckier..

Oh,dear N3,..sorry about your Poinsetti..hope it hasn't gone to meet that carrot ! ..I know that is so bad,but couldn;t resist..:o))...Apology in advance.....

Good luck to you Bloomer, just hope that it's not the start of a very bad winter.

We need the rain but not the winds down to the south east of the UK

I'm out in it all day...I can do rain ,snow, thunder 'n' lightening, but icy wind is dreadful.

Take care Pimpernel, loads of schools shutting lunchtime to allow children to get home safe....

In Glasgow we are expecting winds between 80 and 90 mph. Will report back to you if we are still here. We have a friend coming to stay for a few days......she is meant to arrive tomorrow at 3 o'clock. She could probably make it without the plane.

Just checked the weather here and it is nothing like as bad as that Linda. Good luck !

Good luck with the airports Linda, hope that everything works out okay for you......

Hope the airports are okay for planes. Good luck Linda235.....

Cheers Tommy got the site it is great. Thanks Terra will report results. Thanks Bloomer,No it hasn't but, if I can't revive it, I could use it to thrash the car (Fawlty Towers) when it doesn't start, again :o))))) Weather not looking too bad here!!!

Thanks for the good wishes, Tommy, hope we don't get it too bad up here. Have to come through to Elgin this afternoon, Caz, hope there are no trtees down.

Well done Tommy. Was just thinking the same thing today, all our Goy friends in Scotland, keep safe.

I hope it's not as bad as predicted. Take care and keep safe everyone

Well the weather here has been dreadful, but nothing like what I am hearing ( No Telly ) about in Scotland.

tommy its awfull here in blackpool, neighbour at the back lost bedroom window tuesday night while sleeping, must have scared them half to death, bad tonight to :o(

Just seen on the news that Scotland's (especially the central belt of Scotland) are being hit pretty hard. Hope everyone is ok and hasn't suffered much if any damage.

Sorry to hear about the poinsetta N3tty, hope it recovers for you.

Looks like the winds worse that forecast, thousands with no electric and gust of 165mph recorded.

God bless them all......

Poor Scotland not been a good year for them at all.

Hi Linda235.
I guess your power must be off. Did your friend make it okay?
Hope that things are okay with you

Calm today, but trees down everywhere around here and power off in villages round about. Absolutely wild screaming wind here last night. I've been lucky - no power down and only one tile off the roof and lying in the back garden. Not even sure if it is from my roof, because I can't see where it might have come from! Lots of folk worse off than me, though.

Thanks for your good wishes, Tommy. Appreciated.

Yes she arrived in one piece, but said it was the most frightening flight she has ever made.....the last 15 minutes people were praying and the little girl next to her was crying. Pam said she would have liked to cry too. It was awful weather.....I hated looking out of the windows and the noise was terrible. Today we all went to Loch Lomond and it was calm, sunny and beautiful. What a change!! :o)
Thanks for your concern.
