What's more current than the weather?

Picture your house, sitting on the back of a truck, zooming down the highway at 74mph. Not exactly an aerodynamic sight.

It was pretty noisy. But we only seem to have lost a couple of slates off the roof. It's quite a bit calmer now, thank gawd!

Watched TV News about 45 minutes ago and it still looked decidedly 'bracing' in your part of the world.

From Carruthers' link.

The storms also left almost 100,000 properties without power and bosses at Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) said they faced a “monumental task” to restore supplies.

More than 1,000 engineers and support staff, including many from the south of England, were drafted in to deal with the power cuts

SHEPD also dispatched British Red Cross “welfare vans” carrying free hot food and drinks, to 10 badly affected areas in Skye and Lochalsh which are likely to remain in the dark overnight.

It's a good thing the Scots still have England to bail them out.
