Getting absolutely beat to shit by Storm Malik currently. We’re a couple hundred meters from the coast so it’s pretty bad. Worse than I would normally expect to be honest as there are houses all around us. I haven’t experienced such a sustained and angry storm since I was a kid and actually lived directly at the sea front.
Put it this way. I grew up with genuine hurricane force winds in the winter time, constantly perplexed that it never got reported in the news because “nobody lives there”. And still, this is pretty alarming.
I hadn’t been following the news too closely recently so didn’t know it was coming either. I gather it’s across Scotland. So stay safe if you’re here.
