I didn't. 
My colleagues had a hell of a day and there were some very lucky escapes for people. As you said if it was a normal day it would have been carnage with almost guaranteed fatalities.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
Lucky you ...
Normal-ish working day for me, so long as I can get somewhere there's WiFi. Like McDonald's in Balloch, or the in-laws in Glasgow. 
I keep phoning our house to see if the power's back on (the answer phone will pick up if it is) but no joy yet.
I really need to sort out a generator!

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
well st helens new stadium has taken a battering.......................
they haven't long taken delivery of it and haven't played on it yet - first game is due on the 20th, which i believe is to do with the safety certificate hence the capacity has been cut.
the funny thing is that our roof at work has been bouncing up and down like a pro's draws, and our unit is just across the road from the stadium and iirc the builders of the stadium are also the builders/landlords of our premises

Hehe, yeah. I've done breakfast by candlelight when we had the B&B in Wales. Luckily we had a gas hob so I could cobble up enough hot water and fry-ups to get the job done but having the 'leccy out can really mess up your day.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
Was really scary today. I got to central station about 3 mins before all trains got cancelled. Noise of the glass roof rattling and was really scary. They even told people to leave for safety.
About 5 mins after that the Xmas tree in George Square blew down. Needless to say I came home and was lucky that I could work from home.
Have just checked the Scotrail twitter and website and currently most train services are still off, so may be WFH again tomorrow.
So much more damage than last time.

We have been to St Helen,s 3 times twice to a concert in the Royal Theatre & once in the Mossbank Labour Club, . We intend to go again in June or July for another concert. Country Music singers from USA, Nice Town too.

You are right there. Aerial people want £54 to fix, as they say it is an act of God. They are making a fortune.

Re: Batten down the hatches (it's Hurricane Bawbag)!
Nashie, if it's the same company that put the dish up for you in the first place, remember they didn't exactly do a brilliant job of it (you have channels that disappear in the rain) ... Consider getting a different company to quote.
If you do stick with the original company, remember it's not unreasonable for them to charge, your dish being brought down by a hurricane doesn't in itself prove their original job was substandard.

Thanks for that message. I thought you had to stay with the one company, that put it up.
