Hurricane Katia
The tail end of hurricane Katia has arrived!
I met a friend for coffee in Largs hits morning and then, despite the high winds and torrential rain, I decided to have a wee wander round the shops! Fortunately (for once) there were slim pickings in the charity shops, so I decided to get the bus back home.
What a journey! The road from Largs to Greenock follows the coast - and there was a particularly high tide. At one point there was a large puddle on the road which the bus ploughed through - just as a huge wave broke onto the road! Despite the fact that all the bus windows were closed, a small amount of sea water actually sprayed into the bus! Thank goodness for a skillful driver! Seaweed and other debris was scattered all over the road - the waves were extremely high - absolutely treacherous! In all the years that I've lived here, I don't think I've ever seen it as bad as it was!
I'm back home and have had a wee cuppa, but I've just heard on the radio that the road is now closed!
Much as I love the river, I wouldn't like to be out on the Clyde today!
Hope you are having more settled weather wherever you are.
Love, Liz

Whilst its a bit windy here - its much calmer than further north.
Keep safe and hope Katia passes soon without too much mess and damage.
