Extreme winds and severe rainstorms.. I doubt they'll even notice on the West Coast of Scotland

It is my understanding from my sister when they were here during the last hurricane in Florida that most of the homes after a certain year were building with concrete blocks. Seems like in their gated community, the older homes are wood structures but hers which is only 3 years old is not. |

There’s a reason they build concrete houses with concrete roofs in Bermuda. |

I probably shouldn't but I've left out the names.
My old town in Scotland has it's own FB page. Currently, a newly arrived USC has asked what to expect from this hurricane and should she be worried. The answers are hilarious! Given that our town experiences almost constant Autumnal weather regardless of the time of year, it will be much the same as normal but the bins might be flying up and down the street. Just another day at the office we don't worry much about a windy day Much the same as most other days, except the rain will a bit more sideways I prob wouldnt put ny washing out that day. Other than that its business as normal � ���� Prob find most Scots at the beach with their flip flops on Double the pegs when you hang your washing out � ���� Good laugh in the pub.lol. |

I am heading for the ferry at 7am. Calmac (the ferry company) have warned about "disruptions" to afternoon sailings.
I have to go because this is a dialysis day for me. I have that done in Greenock. |
