Red weather warning

[DeepfriedPizza]

Red weather warning for tomorrow for wind.
What are you supposed to do when the met office/news is telling you to stay at home but your workplace expects you in?

Yep, I’m not far from you and have noticed it die down. Been awake since very early due to the noise but that’s about it.

getting worse near Helensburgh!

They must be terrified! I know I would be

Definitely getting worse in Fife.

East Dunbartonshire here and it’s very bad but not as bad as I expected though five minutes away a friend has had trees down and debris flying.

I decided to take my dogs and stay with family in another part of ED because there are no large(or even medium) trees close enough to their home to be an issue and I’m very glad that I did.

It's been very gusty here in Renfrewshire. A tree is down on the only road into my work (someone posted a pic on fb) sent it to my boss with a smug emoji. I would have been stuck there. A lamppost is down blocking junction near a hospital, thankfully there's another road in but if there were more cars on the road it would be chaos.

And it's gettng worse again, just as the plane which diverted to Manchester from glasgow this morning is making its way back...

Don't think it's the same plane - the plane currently heading out over the North Sea was a delayed 10 am scheduled departure from man to gla

I'm North Lanarkshire and feel just now it's probably the worst it's been. I thought peak time was about 11? But it was surprisingly not too bad then. Just watching my neighbours lead flashing jump up and down on their bay window! Hope it survives!

I think there was an initial amount of wind then a lull. More to come

It’s getting worse here. Large garden items are on the move in spite of how heavy they are. Very scary.

Where are you? I'm in Edinburgh and the gusts are definitely the worst they've been so far

I’m in East Dunbartonshire.

Ridge tiles flew off our roof bouncing off DH's car and into the road. Huge dent in the car roof! Just so glad nobody walking past. Still pretty wild out there in Glasgow.

Feel like it’s picking up on the coast near Edinburgh. The sea is wild!

Yes. It’s continuing to get worse here too. It’s genuinely scary now.

We've lost a ridge tile too but luckily we have an enterprising local roofer who is working all weekend for repairs and will get someone out tomorrow or Sunday. Does seem to be calming down now, another couple of hours and those in the east should be seeing the same improvement we have here.

I'm on the Fife coast. Ramped up even more in the past hour.
While out in the back garden, collecting the recycling that had been liberated by an up ended bin, one of the chimney pots has blown off and is lying in bits in the front garden.

Our local doctors surgery has had its roof ripped right off!

The sun has come out near Helensburgh!

Co op in Denny the gable end has collapsed. Just as well it was closed.

East Lothian. Local Facebook page reports a house with no roof and multiple trees uprooted further down the coast.
In my street, Neighbour across the road has lost some roof tiles this morning. 2 doors down has a large hole in the roof, smashed tiles on drive. House inbetween has rubbish all over drive and a trampoline almost over fence.
Next door fence is down.
Im dreading what I’ll see when I check my roof later. 🤞 it will be ok.

Wind beginning to drop now.

Top floor flat in centre of Edinburgh here and a load of masonry from next door’s roof crashed to the pavement a couple of hours ago. Sounded like an explosion when it happened.

Thankfully no one was walking under it when it fell

nope, sun gone, suddenly all dark again and wind is back. maybe it was some kind of eye of the storm thing? Auntie has lost her tin garage.

We had sun briefly too. It's now gone dark again and the wind has picked up again. We're forecast for snow shortly too.
