ATB It was pretty bad to be honest, they say the worst since the hurricane of 2002. Just glad it wasn't that bad cos we lost every slate on one side of the house that night. News stated that over 5000 homes were without electricity throughout the Western Isles this morning Just checked on the weather station closest to me's website. It states 103.6mph max gust in the last 24hrs and a mean speed of 97.8mph! Looking at XC weather website the now and it looks like the whole UK is getting hit cheers Callum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
