Most of yesterday the same site was showing an update at 3am and the the 15 minute and the 30 minute gust wind speed was 97.3knots which is near enough 112mph. For those that dont know where Sandy Hill is, it is the small radar station in the South Parish of South Ronaldsay as you travel down to Burwick.
