A trampoline, caught in the barbed wire of Edinburgh Airport's fence, has become the latest bizarre example of Storm Eowyn's destructive power. The rare red weather warning and danger to life notice issued due to the 100mph winds have resulted in several flying objects being launched across Scotland.
A trampoline, blown away by Storm Eowyn , has been discovered at Edinburgh Airport. With rare red weather warnings and a danger to life notice issued, flying projectiles have been getting launched in the 100mph winds caused by Storm Eowyn . However, none quite so bizarre as when airport staff in the capital found a trampoline caught in the barbed wire on their metal fence today.
Posting on X from the official Edinburgh Airport account, they said: 'If anyone in Kirkliston is missing a trampoline, we've got it.' The comments were full of laughter, with one user saying: 'Is anyone now not missing a trampoline?' Another quipped: 'Did it get permission to land?'. A third added: 'Are you charging it for parking?'. This comes as Central, Tayside & Fife, south west Scotland, Lothian Borders (including Edinburgh) and Strathclyde (including Glasgow) were the areas first covered by the most severe warning the Met Office can issue. However, the warning, in place until 5pm today, now covers as far south as Lockerbie on the south-west of Scotland. A gust of 100mph was recorded at Drumalbin in South Lanarkshire early on Friday afternoon – the strongest gust so far in the UK during Storm Eowyn, according to the Met Office. Hundreds of thousands of school pupils will be at home today as nurseries and schools shut over safety issues. While all ScotRail trains have been cancelled today due to the high winds, rain and heavy snow set to batter large parts of the country. Earlier today a blackout caused by Storm Eowyn badly struck Dumfries and Galloway as 11,000 Scots homes lost power. This followed a previous power outage in the area as well as Ayrshire, East Lothian, Falkirk and the Scottish Borders. A yellow snow warning also came into force at 6am on Friday morning for Grampian, Tayside and the Highlands. It will last until 11.59pm.
