"Bad" weather in Edinburgh

We're having gale force winds combined with rain and sometimes hail. There is a possibility of snow tonight and tomorrow. The Uni is closed at 3pm, and city schools closed at noon. Gale force means upwards of 70mph, so it really is potentially dangerous. On the other hand, it isn't a tornado or hurricane, for example, and this is really about as bad as it ever gets here. Very unusual. But Lynn was standing with the kids at the window watching the rain and hail and wind. Taran was worried about tornados & I said we were totally safe and we could enjoy watching the storm. He was still worried, so I said again that we are totally safe. Then Kenna says calmly: "Nope. We're all going to die."
