I spoke to my 91 year old aunt tonight and my sister and we all agreed we have NEVER experienced a storm like that.
Sad news on tv that the Aberdeen to Glasgow train came off the rails due to a landslide because of the weather, three
people dead including the driver and conductor.
Many schools were unable to re-open today due to floods and the night shift at a hospital in Fife came out to find
their cars piled on top of one another because of the floods, that's all they need on top of the virus !

We had a big storm during the early hours of Tuesday morning, the heavens opened and absolutely chucked it down. I can't wait for it to cool down, it is just so hot and humid, and just awful at night time.

Not a drop of anything here so far either Robert.
So sorry to hear of the rail tragedy - dreadful
