Scotland is in the grip of severe gales and floods; three killed by
gales since yesterday, all high bridges closed and the entire ferry
service cancelled.The west -coast island of Barra measured gusts of 126
mph last night. We only got 70 mph here.

Gee, only 70 MPH! A mere zephyr! Hope there was no damage to the garden
and B&B heaven.
