Wow! and I thought it was bad when we were in Edinburgh this past September and caught the remmants of Hurricane Katya.
We had similar winds here in Colorado a few days ago up to 70 mph in the foothills and over a 100mph at places in the mountains. Nice now with temperatures getting near 60 today.

100 plus makes it on a par with a Cat 2 hurricane. Although, we had gusts not consistent blows.
Cat 2 hurricanes make most yankee's knees wobble and have them heading off for the bunkers.

at 92mpg I presume you are running your car on chip fat or Buckfast's finest.

DickieG...more like free wheeling down hill with the wind behind!
And the Haggis may have more even legs this year, as they have been unable to stand facing the same way all the time on the hillside.
On a more serious note.....more updated storm pics...

The photograph of Port Partick doesn't look that dramatic until you realise that the wall is over 45 ft high and is dry at low tide. That is a very high tide.
It pains me to see the Grand Designs house. Most of those projects put their owners through hell. To see it so badly damaged is a shame. Although I am sure I saw the house for sale a couple of years back.
