Especially the Conservative party followers.

The MSP involved appears to have totally missed the point that the UK Government is powerless, it is up to the Utility Companies to sort out, difficult when the devastation is stretching even into North of England, and Engineers are at full capacity.

Right now no. but today there was heavy rain, I live on the West Coast, for work I went almost to Edinburgh rain rain rain. spray spray spray temperature a mild 11 degrees.

But yesterday + 3 was best in the fog it went down to +1.

It appears that the East coast and exposed areas they got hammered, most damaging was the wind.

West coast escaped with very little even the Ferries were [generally] running

Blimey we had no leccy around my place for 3 weeks when we had that hurricane

Transam just got on with it

I had gas for cooking and a car battery rigged up for lights

up the road they were all leccy so they were stuffed

It will have blown through by mid morning, but there is more coming Friday (west coast of north by Saturday lunch F8) by the look of it. Cold fronts chasing warm fronts.
