As promised, some pictures which I took at the Coastguard Station. This is the blocky building you see in some of my pictures. Winds were very strong, and latest reports show windspeeds heading straight for severe gale force 9. Gusts are already exceeding 50 knots, force 10. The southerly winds whipped up the swell from the Minch, and that created some magnificent breakers against the causeway. The video below shows what conditions were like.

ReplyDeleteLoved the pics and the video. Hard for me to fathom such a storm going on right at this moment with my weather being what it is today. Calm, sunny, and cool. The perfect day.
