A vigorous depression is expected to run
rapidly east passing northern Scotland on Thursday night and Friday
morning. Winds will begin to increase late on Thursday to give a period
of very strong westerly winds across the Western Isles, the north and
northwest of the Scottish mainland and Orkney. Gusts of 80 to 90 mph are
likely quite widely with a risk of gusts of over 100 mph in places,
with these strongest gusts most likely along coasts in the far north.
Winds should quickly ease from the west during the morning.
The public should be prepared for the potential for disruption to
transport as well as power supplies and the possibility of structural
damage. Very large waves may also lead to dangerous conditions along
some coasts."
A one hundred miles an hour wind is quite worrying. We saw them as strong as a hundred and twenty-five, some years ago, and were fine, lost a conservatory but the house was OK. These days, though, we have satellite broadband and may therefore be disrupted, perhaps for some time, if it is blown out of alignment or off the wall; in that event, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Unlike the odious Fry you really are a national treasure, Ishmael. Keep your head down.
Gosh, no, mr alexius; as I have said, previously, these commentaries are but a table to which others bring linen and glass and silver, wine and bread. But thank you, anyway.
