MEADOWXI Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Aberdeen quayside mostly shut, cranes lifting and moving and having men on quayside deemed dangerous. I normally work in office near harbour, when not WFH. To help today I am using the office at our warehouse at Altens, and shortly after getting here told that for safety to head home and WFH at lunchtime. My company is Dutch owned and they send out so many safety messages and any weather and health issues are totally covered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. There have been two red weather warnings local to me in past couple of years. The first, Storm Arwen, there was someone killed by a falling tree about 8 miles away and then last November during the horrendous floods there was a lady swept away (still not found) from less than two miles away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the BBC this is the first red warning in Scotland since December 2015. They really don't do their research Actually I misread it, no red warning for rain since 2015. Sorry to the Beeb!

We have just been told that we can head home as soon as we please as our safety is the most important thing. Mon the storms! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 A light breeze and a couple of steady showers this morning on the Ayrshire coast. Can see a clearance with blue skies coming in from the North Channel as I look out over the South of Arran. Been lucky here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were right - it was absolutely unnecessary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
