Well last night was fun. Awake for a lot of it through very high winds and lashing rain. Here's the state of power outages in the Highlands. All over! Madness.
Top gusts in mph:
Black Craig, Orkney 106
Elgol, Skye 102
Sandy Hill, Orkney 101
Portsoy 100
Shulista, Skye 96
Invergordon 90

Hoping @Mauve_matelot, @stueytheround and all in the UK are ok this morning.
@homebird @stueytheround A wind speed of 91mph (146km/h) was recorded at Gwennap Head, near Land's End in Cornwall.
Some of the highest wind speeds were 86mph (138km/h) on St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly, 69mph (111km/h) at Chivenor in north Devon, 66mph (106km/h) at Plymouth and 61mph (98km/h) at Camborne, said BBC South West meteorologist Bee Tucker.
@Mauve_matelot @stueytheround Happy to hear that Mauve! I was worried about you both. ❤️
@homebird It was nowhere near as bad as that for us. No damage and power stayed on. How are you?
@Mauve_matelot
@stueytheround I'm glad to hear that, after all the flooding you guys have experienced of late! I'm fine, tired - was up a lot of the night hearing things clatter and bang, but all is good today.

@homebird @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround
All good here. Trampoline went for a small walkabout but nothing damaging.
Hope everyone is ok.
@Booga Good to hear. Yeah I remember our trampoline heading ito the trees one year, it was well tied down after that! @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround
@homebird @Mauve_matelot @stueytheround
Those are some strong winds!
@homebird we are good, North Coast took most of the brunt. Will try and find out the numbers
