Saturday saw a storm that lasted for little more than ten minutes. The havoc it caused almost amounted to the total damage caused by the all the recent flooding and gales.
There was a strong wind and hail stones (apparently there were also some isolated tornadoes witnessed). Strangely whilst ivy clad trees of all descriptions have been brought down over recent weeks, this storm very largely affected conifers. I would like to see an explanation for this though can offer none myself.
We were going to a Burns Night supper and had to manage in candlelight as five conifers had come down on the edge of the castle grounds. They managed to bring down power lines besides hitting a parked car. A number of roads locally were blocked on Sunday.
