Certainly is Eric,

'Just spent half an hour with my chainsaw and a tow rope dealing with tree across our road which missed wiping out my neighbour's son in his Scooby by a matter of seconds.

It's taken down my neighbours power lines and those of my other neighbour so I expect the H/E engineers will be busy today

Cheers

I got held up a bit coming out the A96 from Bucksburn at lunchtime, as there was a tree across the road there. Still horribly windy out with us even now.

As far as I'm aware these things aren't covered by insurance either! Act of God and all that.

I remember quite a few years back that a tree crashed through someone's car in the street in the west end of Aberdeen and they didn't get a penny.

You're not kidding. Crossed the A66 today with a trailer and the Mr2 on it, scary is not the word!

[Alicatt1]

Just looking at the forecast for the Glasgow area as I'm flying in to pick up my car. The next couple of days are heavy rain and windy

Collected Mrs B from ARI on Saturday, and saw a Luton van coming towards us on the A90 on two wheels... It was a hire van - the look of sheer terror on the driver's face was a picture...

Is that not how they are usually driven?

Nah, will still be covered. Happened at our house a couple of years ago during the storms over Hogmanay. Lost approx 400 roof tiles from our 6-month old house, luckily my car was tucked away in the garage and we had my wife's car with us at Murrayfield, but my mates Civic was in our drive and needed a new roof skin, bonnet, front wing, headlamp and windscreen. She wasn't happy, neither was I but that was more to do with the missing roof and new feature waterfall through our bedroom...

Anyway, her insurers covered it but then went after our house insurer to claim it back but were unsuccessful. Strange thing was we were both insured with Norwich Union and the house and motoring departments were arguing with each other.

After the tiles fell off our roof, my dad phoned the insurance company and think they said it went under storm damage.

It's been hellish in Edinburgh.
