RonManager Posted 8 December, 2011 Share Posted 8 December, 2011 (edited) Best name ever for a hurricane. Apparently Scotland has broken free of it's moorings and is heading eastwards across the North Sea. Hope our Scottish Saints contingent are all OK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82EvcvSTxmE&feature=youtu.be Edited 8 December, 2011 by RonManager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 8 December, 2011 Share Posted 8 December, 2011 57,000 people off supply in Scotland, 165 MPH winds, most of the staff going up there, all planned works cancelled and the above picture, aparantly they are in a bit of a mess. I am currently keeping my head down, I have no desire to be sent to Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latter day saint Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 Are you on the mainland? Orkney is an island having experienced weather like this in the Shetlands it does make me laugh when everyone down here poops their pants if it gets a bit gusty. hope you've got plenty of candles/lanterns & a gas heater Viking Warrior till it blows over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 I must admit, our Scottish counterparts (Electricity Consumers) are very different to down here, it is not unusual for a Scot off supply in these conditions to flag down one of our vans and say 'Have you come to fix my electricity I have been off for a week ?' For us to say 'Sorry we are off to another job right now but will be back as soon as we can' And for them to reply 'No problems, I have the candles and drink ready, good luck' Completely different story down here !!!

Viking Warrior Posted 10 December, 2011 Share Posted 10 December, 2011 Still blowing a gale up here. Not as fierce so I can try and make some repairs . The road just along for me was shown on national tv. Some boats in the harbour sunk due to the fierceness of the waves which have marginally subsided . Good news for me ectricity was restored last night so all being well I can watch saints on sky . We have already been given a met warning that it will be bad late Monday and Tuesday coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
