This storm!!

[AgentProvocateur]

My roof is creaking ominously I can’t remember a summer storm like this. I’m just outside Glasgow.

[ItsNachoCheese]

Im 10mins from stirling and its blowing a hoolie with blue skies and sunshine for now its not over yet by a long shot i reckon

[MrsJayy]

I sleep up in the loft it was creaky at half 6 this morning i just put my head under the covers. it has calmed down slightly but I am watching a trampoline lifting in a neighbours garden

[Passmethecrisps]

I was out walking between 6 and 7 this morning and there were occasions that it was hard to push the buggy against the wind. I am now inside and listening to all theroof tiles rattle.

[MrsJayy]

I am near stirling too the rain has stopped but it is blowy

[LooksBetterWithAFilter]

I’m in the Highlands it’s fair blowing up here. It goes from sunny to rain beating against the window in minutes.

It's a bit wild in dundee, it freaks the dog out! I've just had a text from the school to say Mass in Falkirk is cancelled and the kids are on the way back as it's too dangerous!

[Passmethecrisps]

Also Stirling!!

DS is up in Achmelvich doing his Silver DoE expedition. I haven’t heard anything from the school so am assuming they survived the night in the pouring rain and gale force winds! He’s due back tomorrow afternoon and hope he’s not too sodden/fed up.

Our tree lost another part. However I spent the day at Almond Valley and it was lovely x

[KeepCalm]

Tesco phoned last night to cancel our deliveries because of the weather. I laughed at them but it's been fair blowing a hoolie....

[Sturmundcalm]

not as bad as the one 7(?) years ago late May/early June which closed all the roads down here and left all the trees so wind-blown they were virtually bare the whole summer!

[FairfaxAikman]

The way our street is our house is the most exposed - at one point o was sitting feeding DS in the room furthest from the "windward" wall and felt the house shake.

Also big tree down on Canaan Lane in Edinburgh

All the trains were off here, yesterday, and some of the buses. (North Ayrshire) DH had to take a day's holiday because he couldn't get to work. It was fair blowing a hoolie. It was gey wet as well. It seems to have calmed down this morning, still a bit blowy though.

[IHaveBrilloHair]

No trains here yesterday either, it took Dd two hours to get to school from down the Clyde to the west end.

[WickedGoodDoge]

Well I haven’t heard anything from the school so am assuming none of the DoE group got blown away Wednesday night and will be back down in Edinburgh this afternoon. Hopefully DS won’t be too sodden!

[AgentProvocateur]

It’ll have been character-forming for them, @wickedgooddoge

[MrsJayy]

Storm Hector kinda blew him self out quickly a bit like a toddler having a tantrum

[WickedGoodDoge]

Agent Picked him up and he’s actually in a really good mood. They pitched their tents at 2:00 on Wednesday afternoon and didn’t leave them again until Thursday morning. One of the assessors came to find them in the middle of a hailstorm and gale force winds to give them Jaffa Cakes and tell them that because of the weather they could go down the road instead of cross country. They decided to stick to cross country. Rather him than me!

[AgentProvocateur]

@wickedgooddoge - good on them! Even as as teenager, and most definitely now, I’d have wimped out at the first sign of a storm
