@@meatrubber well considering this is central scotland where we never get wind like this, and not florida where hurricanes are pretty normal, that's a bit of a silly comparison dont you think?
@Frankie-c5x that's fair enough. I understand that it's been worse in other places in Scotland or throughout the UK. The headline should really read that it's the worst to hit CENTRAL scotland cause honestly we've never had winds like this. It has taken out several buildings in my area, uprooted massive trees, flipped cars and injured a lot of people. We are in a valley here so we genuinely never get really bad weather. And being less than 2 miles away from BP we don't get snow or even the super low temps because BP heats up the surrounding atmosphere.
There have been many storms of this magnitude and above to hit Scotland since 1998, but they were north of the central belt so don't count to sensationalist journalists
@garysmith5025 that's the whole point though. We don't get weather like this here normally. Here in Falkirk especially, we are usually inside a sort of weather bubble. We hardly never get really bad winds, we never really got torrential rain for long periods of time and we hardly get snow. We live in a valley so everything just sort of misses us. Then the fact that we are so close to BP too snow melts in the air before it even gets to us.
@@Krystallia87 If the video title had been "'Worst storm since 1998' SMASHES into Falkirk" I'd agree with you, but it says Scotland, which is a whole lot bigger than the narrow strip across the middle.
@garysmith5025 yes but video titles are always click bait. Everyone knows that. And while I'm aware that Scotland is bigger than just the central belt, these headlines always just say SCOTLAND. England tends to get city names etc, but Scotland and Wales don't. It's not wrong. The central belt is still in Scotland. It just wasn't specific.

stay indoors and trust that your house built by the lowest bidder won't fly away :) Lothians seem to be battered the most, which is hilarious given how quiet the Highlands are by comparison :) At the moment, the biggest risk contributor is lazy councils. What I see outside flying around, causing havoc is - dry branches that would not be a problem if trees would be pruned (I wonder how many of those will end up in windshields of - hopefully, stationary and vacant- cars), the garbage of all sorts (well..that's the 'people in general' problem, but it would be nice if the council would actually clean the streets once in a while).
