Huge storm in Durness on the very far northwest coast on THursday pm. thunder and lightning overhead and torrential downpour. I was on the Cape wrath peninsular, where it wasn't so bad, but as I was pushing a punctured bike it it was still a bit scary. Further torrential downpours yesterday (Friday), in Tongue, on the north coast and roads like rivers at Crask Inn, south of Altnaharra.
