Anyone on here live near Bellgrove station and missing a shed?

 

Naw. But mine in ML1 is a goner barring some surgery to fix a some brackets that have snapped. 
 

RIP shed October 23-Jan 24?

The flights just seemed to be flying around Europe seemingly at random like folk driving round a busy car park. 

Look, there's a space! It's in Hamburg, but it's as close as we're going to get and I'm not driving round again. You'll have to walk a bit further, that's all.

That was crazy last night, despite ear plugs I was wakened at around 3 a loud bang and with what was like a full on assault on the front of the house (faces north west).  Got back to sleep after it died down and slept until 8. Had a look outside and luckily no damage visible, though I haven't seen my chimney yet. Prabably ok as there is no debris. Has to be the strongest storm to hit the Highlands in 20 years.

Nothing yet in the news from around Scotland about much structural damage to buildings. Seen the picture of a property's boundary wall that came down at Queen's Street Station low-level and quite a few trees down all over the country, Dundee I heard was bad for that, is Dundee still with us? This storm certainly had a taste for eating garden sheds and snapping wooden gates. Very little news from around the Highlands and Moray yet apart from no trains. Fortunately in Inverness we didn't lose any power.

The noise of this b*****d wind is keeping me awake.

There was one moment in the early hours where it was ominously silent for a moment followed by the loudest gust I've ever heard

In Dundee this morning I saw bin that had rolled into the front of a car.

No confirmation yet that the city of Dundee hasn't been blown all the way to Germany???

I can confirm Dundee is still where its meant to be.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd have preferred to have woken up in Germany this morning.

84 year old killed in Grangemouth. Or Grangemouth, Fife to give it its full BBC title 

Terrible news but good to see Grangemouth has been returned to close to where it originally was. Still needs to be shuffled a wee bit along the ground as its now in Falkirk.
