An article from last Monday's newspaper (The Herald,
Glasgow, Oct 29, 2007, p. 5) refers to Oct 27-28 as "a weekend of
torrential rain and high winds" in the lead paragraph, and later
more
specifically reports that "the west of Scotland experienced heavy
rain
and, in some areas, high winds. Coastal areas and Argyll were most
affected." Any description of the weather during the period ought to
include mention of this.

I very much appreciate your posting, and hope you and others will be
able to share similar information after the next two severe storm
forecast periods.

.... I will be, but ONLY for wind damage. The forecast quite clearly
indicated that any 'disruption' would be due to wind damage, not
landslips due to heavy rainfall. There was *no* 'severe damaging
storm' during the period under discussion that affected these areas.
