Blawbag. Blawbag Oh Blawbag was a Bawbag Although it huffed a mighty blow Like a Westminster politician Full of noise, but not much more It came breezing into Scotland With no courtesy or name Intent on causing havoc disruption was its game When they get a wee bit water doon in England It makes the national news 24hour coverage,asking every experts views A foot of snaws a tragedy as if they’d never seen the likes But up here, up in Scotland We’re in our semmits flying kites. The night afore the storm came The Met issued a Red Alert It’s going to get a wee bit windy You might even get slightly wet Plans were made to shut the schools while on transport please take care and if your driving on the roads beware of low flying garden chairs Now out there in America they give hurricanes fancy names like Harriet or Veronica So for fun we’d do the same But what were we to call it? Our best minds racked their brains While the storm came ever closer With no transport minister to blame! Rod Macfarlane Like this:

Hurricane Bawbag. Hurricane Bawbag was an intense extratropical cyclone, also known by the name Friedhelm,[1] which brought hurricane-force winds to Scotland at the beginning of December 2011. The storm also brought prolonged gales and rough seas to the rest of the British Isles, as well as parts of Scandinavia. On 8 December, winds reached up to 165 mph (265 km/h) at elevated areas, with sustained wind speeds of up to 80 mph (135 km/h) reported across populous areas.

The winds uprooted trees and resulted in the closure of many roads, bridges, schools and businesses. Overall, the storm was the worst to affect Scotland in 10 years,[2] though a stronger storm occurred less than a month afterwards, on 3 January 2012.[3] Naming[edit] Meteorological history[edit] Churned up sea off the west coast of Scotland as photographed from the FAAM research aircraft at about 450 m (1,480 ft) above sea level.

By 9 December, the low had crossed Great Britain and moved into the North Sea toward western Scandinavia. Hurricane Bawbag | Get Around Glasgow. Benton vs OMG Trampoline. Hurricane Bawbag Oh My God! Trampoline! - Rick Roll'd.
