  1. just checked the tide times for thursdays impending doom and thankfully we are only on a quarter moon by then, meaning tides are down 1m from a full moon. The predicted <960mb would have caused a half meter rise in sea level, thankfully it looks like any storm surge will have less impact. Thats leith on the firth of forth tides only folks
  2. Calling it a day while it is relatively calm here. Baton down the hatches folks!
  3. Mate just told me he is stuck on M90 southbound heading towards Forth road bridge. A Van seemingly managed to get on the bridge after closed signs had been put in place and has turned over. Seriously why would you even risk it!?
  4. gusts from the last 6 hours peaked at 80 mph for the 10 minute average. single time stamp of 90+ witnessed as previous posts. Strongest I've seen down on the forth.
  5. I can see it from my back garden, now this wind turbine is one of the biggest in the world so the you can imagine the flex on the tip of blade at the highest point which is 195 m. pretty scary!
  6. Forth road bridge now closed to all traffic
  7. wow, thunder, lightning, blizzards, every car alarm in the street going off. Power still on for now. not seen much like this before, bonkers Ok Im a half cut but its mighty wild! 95 mph gusts now down on the river!
  8. Howdy me matey, not had a flicker yet, dug flap has now came loose tho
  9. Theres an 75 mph gust with sustained 50 mph winds for the last 20 minutes
  10. K7 buoy worth watching soon for shtlanders/orkney far north, has wind speed data also vs K5 which doesn't have wind speed operational. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=64046
  11. Reports on twitter of black outs on western isles
  12. WInd, Gales, rain, snow, lightning. reminds me of bawbag.
  13. jeeso and this is supposed to be just the start!
  14. Tide just turned in the forth and on its way back in. High tide due at 05:20, couple that with the winds forecast for that time and there could be an almighty swell, rough river. Latest Firth winds picking up again....
  15. No wind speed data is frustrating! would have made very interesting viewing
  16. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=64045
  17. Long way to go but I see the pattern developing towards a sting jet? "Most damaging winds will be emanating from the evaporating tip of the hooked cloud head".(WIKI) Latest firth of forth wind speeds picking up somewhat...
  18. Firth of forth still looking reasonable calm, should be no problems on the bridges at the mo........
  19. The 00z GFS run showing no signs of weakning the storm. Meto need to get the red warnings out very soon for most of scotland by the look of this. Early morning travel should be avoided, the track has strengthened southward 18z run..... 00z run....... Take cover! Incoming!
  20. Not a patch on what the West are experiencing but fairly strong wind speeds and some strong gusts experienced in the firth of forth over the last few hours.
  21. You guys are probably already familiar with this website but thought I would post a link Incase some are not. Good real time weather from the various weather stations http://www.mmweather.net/page/maps?regionid=7 I work at Braefootbay and use this to determine shipping berths, cancelations etc. Most of the weather stations are in exposed areas so will show the true extent of the upcoming storms.
  22. My first post on here and would like to wish you all a merry christmas. Been watching with a keen eye trying to learn was much as possible for the last Month. Love the banter, disagreements and technical speak. You guys rock Hopefully as next year progresses and I learn more I will be able to join in!
