Yup, don't undo the battenings-of-the-Hatches as there's a low pressure heading in with strong Southerlies/SS Easterlies gusting (here) to over 70mph.
 
Luckily I have not moved/changed anything since the hoolie of a Northerly the other day.
 
Stay lucky

Is that a wide spread storm? I was sad to see so many trees down after last weeks.....hope no more come down and no one gets injured

[southernskye]

Hi Happy GL.
I just concentrate on Scottish West-coast/Western Isles. Currently gusts of 82mph around here forecast fore Saturday around 18:00.
 
Oban 72 mph
 
Glasgow 60 mph
 
Orkney 70 mph around 21:00 Saturday.
 
I use XC weather as it has been the most accurate for the forecast for the boats.

So we may get a taste if its hitting Orkney ? We are on the Caithness coast 
Thanks for the warning  Stay safe

  Oh no, forewarned forearmed!

[Lesley Silvester]

Sounds like it's the same storm on its way back up north.

[southernskye]

Well, it arrived early and we are getting a hammering.
Everything still battened from the previous storm so all should be in order....hopefully!
Good luck one and all and stay safe.

My husband suggested a nice walk in our local hills and I quoted this....you are spot on and thankfully we only went locally and only got wet...it's horrid now but so sad to see so many trees down and lots nearly down, that's a concern......anyway, me and the digs are drying off

[southernskye]

Glad you got home ok, if a wee bit damp!
Should ease off come Monday from what I gather.
Stay warm.

Our local villages power has gone off, we are on the top of a hill and ours comes from another village direction so I am trying to get my gingerbread Santa production line complete before ours goes too. We've had a few flickers already....:-))

Sounds bad here at the top of the building - just off to catch the bus, let's hope they are still going!

[southernskye]

More of the same tomorrow peaking 9am to midday.
 
 
Hope the gingerbreads were all finished and power remains OK?
 
Sleep tight and stay safe

Its wild here tonight, cant sleep for the wind and rain. the noise the conservatory is making you would think it was going to blow away   
I really should be asleep, need to be up in 4 hrs   

[fiestyredhead331]
