a wild winter storm has been lashing Scotland all day, Fiona called to report she was getting gusts in the 80-90mph range and up in the Cairngorms
mountains the highest gust was 165mph. Many things shut down and wind damage - here's one photo from the BBC site.
Definitely a small kite day.

Those crazy windmills are always doing something when the winds a whiping. Around here they've been known to lay down on the job.indigo_wolf - 8-12-2011 at 10:52 AM
~3 x 165 mph = ~495 mph :wee: :o

I have a project in Aberdeen that is building a 35 meter tower that is to go 3km underwater. It would be safer there than on land.markite - 8-12-2011 at 02:52 PM
