630 pm and a bit of ma fence just got launched. Thought it was supposed to be gone by now

Did the hard work earlier I'm sure. Rescue it before it could cause any damage?

Working from home today as school closed!! Watched the fence wobble all day and a few of the neighbours have come down. Went out with the dug and noticed our roof has 3 of the top ridge bits off. Need to move the cars in case they come down on them. Can't get a roofer, so dunno when it'll be fixed!!! Grrrr!!!

Yeah, that sucks. Best of luck, you'll need it! Got a garage for a car?

Nah just a drive way. We've pulled the cars back a bit and they've not moved so hopefully be ok til someone comes to assess the damage!! Hows things with you?

8pm and Edinburgh largely escaped, a few trees down and a chimney stack the bigger items. Here's a map of power outages though, over 110K affected!
