Stormy day


Sitting here, looking out on a force 9 gale, which will probably get worse. Wind is going to get a hefty speeding ticket, doing 51 mph in a 30 mph zone. Gusting to 63 mph. Only North Rona, 70 miles to the north, is worse, with 70 mph. There are no ferries in the islands at all - way too windy. By the way, the picture is a bit blurred, as I took it through a window. I may go out later today for pictures.


Typhoon Durian is barrelling through the Philippines, with winds of 160 mph as it hurtles past Manila. Another tropical storm is growling through the channel between Madagascar and Mozambique in southern Africa.

    Hope those winds die down...they sound terrible...and the picture depicts it too.  Our weather will be 65 today...now 54 at 6:14 AM.  Weird for Nov...cold on the way...

  2. I don't blame you; stay inside!  We're supposed to get some high gusts of wind here today, but nothing like you're getting.  Stay safe!
