Wind power
The 165mph gusts were recorded on the summit of Cairngorm in the Scottish Highlands.
The £2million turbine was destroyed after catching fire at a wind farm in Ardrossan, North Ayrshire.
Gusts ... easyJet plane blown all over runway as it lands at Edinburgh Airport

A POLAR bear prepares to eat a cub — in shocking snaps fuelling fears that the Arctic beasts are being driven to cannibalism.
Adults have long been known to KILL rivals' cubs but incidents of them DEVOURING their own kind are rare.
Now, however, experts believe rising temperatures are leaving bears desperate with hunger.
The pictures were taken by environmentalist Jenny Ross near the Norwegian island of Svalbard — where Eton schoolboy Horatio Chapple, 17, was mauled to death by a bear in August.
Arctic expert and documentary maker John Downer, from Bristol, said: "Eating cubs is increasing as the level of ice gets less, seals leave and bears fall back on other sources of food."
