High Winds

[boblydon]

yep gordon right up the beach, at low water looked like they could have used an extension ladder and climbed off...just shows the power of the wind to blow a big lump like that off its berth

Thanks Bob & Alan, to blow a ferry of its berth inside the loch would have been a awesome thing to see.is it above the high water mark bob?

Hope youlads and lasses have got your roofs fixed ready for tonight/tomorrow morning
going to get bad again.
We missed the last lot and only had one gust of 40mph. We are expecting 90mph tonight

Take care Paula. Im at work tonight and Ive got a feeling that I will be dodging flying corrugated metal roofing sheets. If it gets too bad though I will be staying inside for the night. There is no way that I will be going out and about with those things flying around.

cheers.

just been on the phone to the lads in adrnamurchan, flippin eck!, that were some storm up there. his boat is in bits, the mooring lines held but it ripped the stem head roller clean off and playedfootball with his boat. Tobermory, if anyones knows it was flooded. Where we stayed last year, theres a steel bridge over the river to get to the croft. It was found on the beach half a mile away in one piece!
any on that knows kilchoan, the water was up to the shop doorway!
