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?

How "normal" do you think things will be tomorrow? Thinking of the dc's football match.

Ineedashero · 24/01/2025 21:55

Yeah the location of the leisure centre and the cheap materials are a bad combination.

Wonder if anyone wants to build a supermarket on it now...

I don’t know if it’s just me but it hasn’t abated here. It seems just as bad as it was though we’re no longer on a red warning.

We've just a huge flash of lightning, some thunder and now theres a blizzard! Can't believe it. West coast of Scotland here.

It always did look more like a Tesco than a leisure centre! Awful architecture, cheap construction materials.

We've now heard we're not getting power until at least midnight tomorrow. I'm so fed up (and cold and hungry)!

AnneKipankitoo · 25/01/2025 14:16

Oh that’s awful @sunshinechaser

GrouchyKiwi · 25/01/2025 14:47

That's frustrating and difficult @sunshinechaser. Whereabouts are you?

The council in our area has set up food trucks to feed those who don't have power. Is there something similar for you?

sunshinechaser · 25/01/2025 19:08

We're in Ayrshire. Now in a hotel in Glasgow tonight get some heat. Had to bin entire contents of fridge and freezer. Stressing about work on Monday!

Hopefully it'll be back soon so you can get washed and keep warm.

We can't get heat and hot water until Monday now. Engineer has been out today and need a new circuit board. Has to be ordered. Argh!

Damage to boiler was due to the storm. The water got into the circuit board. Fuse blown. So frustrating. It wouldn't have happened if wasn't for that silly storm.
