Checking the antenna's every 2 hours, force 10 -11 gale here, gusts 55+ knots.
Tomorrow followed up by another one, longer, and even more powerfull.

Scotland and North U.K. geting their share, snowstorms, 100 mile an hour gale and all that fine stuff...
I WANT THE SUMMER BACK!!!

I still have not fixed my lower band(s) HF loop since the last ice storm. Good luck.

At the hight of the storm i'll be at the shooting range.
20 inches special extra strength concrete and 5 yards of sand for bullet stop will keep me from the worst.
Now, the 20 mile drive to and from the club back home in the top of that storm will be challenging even in a 4000 pound van ;)

Just be glad you don;t get as many tornadoes as the United States. The United States gets more tornadoes than any other country in the world. It also gets stronger tornadoes than most other places.

Your country is also a lot bigger as our petite country.....
We get our share or tornado's, and waterspouts, storms as well, and the trend is fast upwards in number and strength od those phenomena.
I could do with 0 of them....
