No storm here
Mar. 10th, 2008 12:11 pmIt's bright and sunny and breezy here. No storm overnight. Not like the storms night after night a couple of weeks ago. Although if you weren't living in these parts you probably wouldn't have heard about those. Only if they hit London do they matter...
In the first twenty-four hours I spent on Shetland in January 1993, the weather changed from pleasant, bright sunshine to heavy snow to a Force 13 gale. The Great Storm of October 1987 was Force 11 gusting to Force 12, just to give that a bit of perspective. Shetlanders take that in their stride and it never made the BBC news or the front pages of national newspapers. But then, Lerwick is a far-off place of which we know little!
