Fort William, recorded a gust of 101mph
On the plus side - all those wind turbines are chucking out 15GW of electricity at the moment, which if they keep it up will help to lower energy bills.

The sailing club have advised that we should ensure the boats are tied down : -Windy is currently forecasting south westerly winds rising to 38kt gusting 70kt at midday on Friday then veering westerly and easing. Like Tim said - if you can, look to securing your boats.
I see those In the far south are getting a red warning for what's normal up here.Dudley proved to only be a two pegger round here but then it was from the west, and the west coast has been hit quite hard. Sent from my BKL-L09 using Tapatalk
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.

Buildings & trees in the south are not accustomed to >70 mph gusts and are therefore more likely to be damaged than buildings & trees which regularly meet such conditions.
Will this wind be so mighty as to lay waste the mountains of the earth?
