Todays flood events.

I've been listening all day to Kinloss ARCC and other frequencies as the flood events unfold.

i have to say that i am incredibly impressed with the committment and work rate of the rescue chopper crews.

At one point rescue 122 had at least 3 rescue's in a queue whilst winching a man off a roof.

Others including Rescue 125 have worked tirelessly today rescueing people and i even heard a dog being rescued.

We are very lucky to have these teams there for us when these kind of events unfold.

So whilst i sit hear high and dry, well done to all the rescue teams out there busting a gut to save lives above and beyond.

Well said Geoff,I feel desperately sorry for all those poor people who have lost everything and especially sorry for the widow and 4 children of the policeman that sadly lost his life keeping people from using that bridge.Well done and thanks to all the rescue crews for everything they've done.

3 a/c from Valley were launched in 65-70mph gusts - scary !

We sent one back from Kinloss to Valley yesterday, the pilots seemed a little bit nervy. Not suprising considering what they were going to have to land in!
