The 1968 Hurricane (or Hurricane Low Q) was a deadly storm that moved through the Central Belt of Scotland during mid January 1968. It was described as Central Scotland's worst natural disaster since records began and the worst gale in the United Kingdom. Some said that the damage resembled what happened during the Clydebank Blitz in 1941. 20 people died from the storm, with 9 dead in Glasgow. 700 people were left homeless. Such high wind speeds in an urban area were equivalent to those witnessed in Paris during Cyclone Lothar in 1999.

  • Stormen i Skottland 1968 eller (Orkanen Low Q) var en svår storm, som härjade i Skottland i mitten av januari 1968. Den beskrivs som en av de värsta naturkatastroferna i centrala Skottland sedan man började mäta, och den värsta kulingstormen som Storbritannien någonsin skådat. Vissa menar att skadan var jämförelsebar med 1941. 20 människor omkom i stormen, 9 av dem i Glasgow. 700 personer blev tillfälligt hemlösa. (sv)

Some said that the damage resembled what happened during the Clydebank Blitz in 1941. 20 people died from the storm, with 9 dead in Glasgow. 700 people were left homeless. Such high wind speeds in an urban area were equivalent to those witnessed in Paris during Cyclone Lothar in 1999. A 134 mph (216 km/h) wind gust was recorded at Great Dun Fell in Cumbria, England. At the time this was the strongest wind gust ever recorded in the United Kingdom, though this was superseded in 1986 when a 173 mph (278 km/h) gust was recorded at Cairn Gorm. (en)
