West of Scotland storms

This is a photo, from earlier today, of the coast road which I use to get to and from work every day.

The wind was gusting to 100mph and while I realise that this is chicken feed compared to the hurricanes a lot of the members need to endure, it is a bit unusual for us to get it as bad here. It's expected to blow itself out overnight.

As this amounted to a slight inconvenience, by way of a detour home, my thoughts are with all the guys who have to suffer the real serious stuff every year!

Great photo. We just had a similar storm here in Los Angeles as well. Gusts up to 100 + MPH. Caused quite the mess. Some people still don't have power and it's been over a week since the storm. Makes you appreciate the amazing power mother nature has. I still can't believe hurricanes blow so much harder than that. I can't even imagine that. It was quite scary just as it was here.

Red --

I'm in Hermosa Beach, and I literally could not stand up in my own alley! Those were the strongest winds I can remember and I've lived here all my life -- hope we are done with that!

Browny -- Not sure where you were standing when you took that shot, but don't do it again! Stay safe...

Thanks guys,

Thankfully I had managed to get to work before this picture was taken at the height of the storm.

Not sure who took it to be honest, it was a work colleague who sent it on to me.

Things are a lot quieter today, just some flurries of snow, but at least they're vertical and not horizontal!

By the way, in Scotland the storm was nicknamed "Hurricane Bawbag" :D
