seems it registered 3.5 on what ever they call that scale its unusual in these parts . hope all her equipment is ok ,as it seems there more bad weather on the way [lol] tony
Do you have a link for this? This is the first I have Heard of this.
3.5 on the Richter Scale is classified as "Minor, Often Felt but rarely does any Damage" to put it in Scale 3.5 on the Richter scale is the same Power as 178 metric tons of TNT.

Wow, a bit close to home. Certainly very windy in Wick but the only bang I heard is my wheelie bin blowing over!
