Storm Hits Scotland Hard

Scotland’s weather’s turned wild overnight—Edinburgh and the Lothians are bracing for heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and flood warnings until 3 AM Saturday. Traffic Scotland urges caution on roads as storms rage. Rail chaos hits too: Glasgow’s Pollokshields East station is offline due to power issues, disrupting services until 6 PM Friday, while Wallyford’s signalling fault between Edinburgh and North Berwick is delaying trains until midday. Power outages have left homes dark in Broxburn, Uphall, and Gorebridge, with engineers aiming to restore electricity by 11 AM. The Met Office warns of torrential downpours—up to 30mm in an hour, 50mm in three—with lightning, hail, and strong winds possible anywhere in Scotland today.
