Just seen a reporter giving the news from Oban.

 

I'm glad I'm not there, the tide was being pushed across the road as the waves came over the harbour wall.

 

Almost gleefully the reporter signed of ".... and the worst is yet to come" !!

Good Luck Catchalot (and the caravan and Norrie's wee boat). For a moment I thought "They'll be sheltered by the trees".

 

Then I had another thought

[Davy Holt]

Hiya,

 

The good thing, if there is such a thing is there is quiet a few miles of open water for the waves to build up before the hit Oban.. so it's always gonna look worse there

 

Fingers crossed for the wind to have abaited a bit for the next high tide at 6.30am tomorrow

[Norrie]

Davy, Is my boat still there, along with your caravan ?????? Or do I need a new one soon...??

[John S]

Sounds like you lot are getting it bad! It hasn't been bad here (Hull), a bit blowy earlier but right now I can't even hear any wind.

 

We are lucky here, we're sheltered by the Wolds which tend to push any bad weather over the top of us until it reaches the coast. Sometimes when the entire country has been hit by heavy snows, we haven't seen a single flake / *

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all....

The wind has died away, here in Central Scotland..just the occasional gust..but that means not a lot.....

I'm on night shift here at Scapa Flow.

We are getting gusts to about 75 kts from ssw.

Glass is bottoming out at about 967mb.

We have had a tanker dragging anchor in the Flow but she has re-positioned her self and now seems to be holding OK.

I don't know if I will have any slates on the roof when I get home in the morn or any glass in the greenhouse

Hold on to your hats

Scapa

[Scapanapper]

Scapa Flow.

Wind SSW Mean speed 61 Kts

Gust of 81.2 kts (92.5 MPH)

Glass 965MB :confused:

Just got into work for early shift here in the NE of England. Seen little damage driving in but the tall sided lorry in front of me did go up on 2 wheels so did not overtake it!

Not sure if the winds have peaked here yet?

Hope you and your property are all ok.
