Gales vs plastic is an unequal contest.
We are getting a flat roof repaired. The old one was removed but unfortunately the new one couldn't go down as expected. Unfortunately this coincided with the worst gales of the winter. We realised the plastic had lost when water came through the ceilings and then it was buckets to the fore . And it was like that for a couple of days
Orkney harbours have real-time weather reports. Heres the weather report for the night in question. Kirkwall peaked at >50 knots (50 kts =58 mph) . Westerly wind - so it was a worse in the exposed parts. And it didn't get to 1300 kts - a technical glitch with the machinery I think
The roof was well weighted down with timber and breezeblocks (as above) . The exposed bit of the roof was a bit messy - the wind having moved the breezeblocks and timber around
But we've now got a spell of good weather and little rain. So it wil all dry out and then we'll get the ceilings sorted
