Severe Storms Sweep Across Scotland

[creagdhubh]

Greetings,

I'm quite sure that many of you have already heard about the severe storms that have swept across much of Scotland and have caused hurricane-force winds (gales upwards of 142 mph in some places), flooding, and heavy rain. One person was killed (a lorry driver) when his HGV was blown over onto nearby vehicles by the gale-force winds. I have spoken with friends and family in Scotland and they are doing fine, despite being rather shaken up by the sheer magnitude and power of the wind that this storm has produced. I hope all of our fellow members located throughout Scotland are safe and sound!
