Weather getting bad here again and the Scots forum are saying -
"Hurricane force 12 on the shipping forecast. Wild."

This interactive map (someone put the link on the weather forum which Mar recommended) is brilliant

Oh good grief Mar as if you haven't had enough already. Hope nothing else flies off away from your place.

You do have the most amazing scenery though, so maybe it's worth it.

Well, not brilliant if you are right in the middle of those high winds!, but brilliant as a warning of what is heading our way (I'm on an island off the top of Scotland- one with a reputation for windy weather) and this is far better for me to visualise than the Met Office warnings.

We lost a roof of an outhouse three years back. It was a traditional stone one and it lifted in one and landed on the floor next to it - complete.

LOL! Well I meant it's brilliant what they can do, and very addictive and hypnotic to watch. I do get tired of wind but you will get more of that than me PT. I like the silence when it stops !

Is it just me or do the centres of the two wind cycles to the west of the UK look like the eyes of a big scary monster ? :eek:

In ASDA's £1 racks, I found 5 packs of Cotton Tree Extra Moist Toilet Tissues, with 60 in a pack.

Bought all 5 packs.
