It really does exist.

Although i measured just 19.3mm there was a lot more rain around the hills
yesterday and the Tay has burst its banks along the valley floor resulting
in the road being blocked into Aberfeldy from the North. Sepa had a timely
and correct warning issued.

I drove the Old Crieff road last night (mostly above 1000 feet for about 15
miles or so) and it was like being on a ship in a film set, during a storm
where great slooshes of water get thrown at the sailors by stage hands, my
window wipers were working overtime and the road seemed underwater the whole
time. Every now and then a huge puddle would grab the steering wheel away
from me and I had to wrestle to get it back, it was exhausting. The wind was
whipping all sorts around too.

By contrast it is sunny and calm this morning.

Heaven knows what it was like on the islands. calling Carbost...
