Summary:
On December 8 2011 there was a huge storm in Scotland. The storm was very strong reaching the wind speed of 264 km/h (165 mph).The gusts affected Scotland a lot it left 50,000 people without power. The police in Scotland told the people not to travel because of the strong winds .Because of the winds hundreds of schools had to be shut down and they also shut down bridges and roads. England, Wales, and Northern Ireland were also hit by wind and rain.
My thoughts:
I think that those winds are really dangerous. They are very strong and they are causing a lot of homes to be powerless. I am very glad that they did shut down the schools and roads because it would be even more dangerous. I just hope that these type of things stop happening because a lot of the things are causing death of power outage or damage to the city/s.I repeat that I am very glad to live in a city that is currently safe and that not that many bed things are happening to the city I live in and am from.
