Scottish weather

Some wind today in Scotland, worse than Hurricane Bawbag a couple of weeks ago I reckon.

I'm not as bad as some, but car not the best. Tiles off house and landed on bonnet and roof of car.

Ouch, sounds nasty, if it makes you feel any better, we have had it in the south as well.

Just got back from one of the daughters, fence panel down, and the wind and rain pushed water through the sliding patio doors.

No tiles off roof, glad to say.

It's pretty fecked. Damage to bonnet, roof, rear passenger door, rear wing. It's not massive damage to each panel, but bad enough. The bodywork was the one thing which was great on the car lol

Bad news mate

No car damage, but the main high street where I live was shut because the fronts of two shops were blown on to the pavement and road below, luckily there were no injuries

Nor - that's not good.

I remember being here in 1990 when we had a really bad storm, I saw a couple of lorries lose their roofs on the motorway and then came home to listern to slates sliding off the roof.

Thankfully it's not so bad but we lost a fence panel before christmas and another one went today and Mrs TC has retrived our dusbin from across the road twice.

Sorry to hear your motor got skelped Nor,(will Insurance cover it)
I had to work in it today and it was the worst wind Ive ever worked through
Ive got a Garden like a war zone now with fence down,shed obliterated and some roof tiles off.
I tried to get through to insurance company but it's just a nightmare to get through &
They have a prerecorded message saying Fences, outbuildings etc are not covered by bad weather.

Thanks for the nice comments. Most important thing is that it's only a car and nobody was hurt, could have easily been another story if the timing was different. Here's some pics of the damage. The bonnet doesn't look quite as bad in the pics, but the centre section is pretty caved in, as well as the puncture hole.
