A wee bit windy

[seth]

Looks like summer is over as the first autumn storm hit us today in scotland .
I'm just hoping everyone is safe and ok and the leaves  stay on the trees till after the Scottish meet up .

A bit?...If i had any hair... . It would have done a perfect imitation of a dandelion 

[seth]

@Blubber it might blow some of that hair from your beard to your head 
But seriously be safe out there I think you've not got the worst of it yet .

West coast of Scotland is getting a hammering...

[seth]

We had 80mph winds on the tay bridge in Dundee earlier but it's dropped a lot mow and the bridge has just reopened to cars.
West as had much worse than us on the east side.
Update the highest speed gust of wind was 102mph on the tay bridge earlier.

Could be worse Seth... think of those poor buggers in the phillipines!  I would mention the US as well but I blame Trump for that.... he's taken credit for everything else 

[seth]

Just mean don't be stupid here .
When it gets that bad in poorer/under developed parts of the world it mean take care or you'll get hurt the big powerful states near by should be helping thier poorer neighbours.
