Power out for ~60% of the town and 2 big trees down, the piers are closed and only 3 pubs open.

Currently stranded in Belfast after all the flights home were cancelled.

I knew bad weather was forecast but shrugged it off after spending the weekend in shirts and t shirt again. I was wrong. Belfast has pretty much shut down so once I managed to get a hotel roon, a mad rush followed to grab toiletries, fresh pants and a phone charger! By 3:30 the place was like a ghost down.

daughter takes on Storm Ophelia[/url]

00:28 for sea foam face.

Basically it was a wee bit windier than it might normally be on a windy day in the autumn.

Deeply strange quality to the light outside here in the West of Scotland. Only seen it a few times before. Slightly green tinge to it. Eerie.

That green sky is usually the precursor to a tornado in the States, this storm may spawn one or two twisters, but unlikely to be anything significant.

The huns will be deeply upset.

Not me 😉 It's just strong gales, it's been this windy loads of times before and will be again before the years out. It's just the source being a hurricane that makes it a big thing.
It's nothing compared to the 1987 'great storm' which had true 100mph+ hurricane force winds for sustained periods with the loss of an estimated 15million trees.

Dispite being something we associate with the US apparently the Uk (more particularly England) gets more tornadoes per sq mile than anywhere else in the world.

Interesting fact that.

I probably read it in the Daily Express ( apparently there’s a new miracle tornado that will cure princess Di’s chronic arthritis during the snow-heatwave but immigrants will steal it)
