Hurricane 'Senga' hit the Maryhill district of Glasgow in the early
hours of
yesterday morning.
Victims were seen wandering round aimlessly muttering "Puremental, man
no?"
The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £9,000 worth of
improvements.
Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and Seville were
damaged beyond repair.
Three historically important areas of burnt out cars were disturbed.
Many locals were woken well before their Giros arrived the next morning.
Police state that incidences of looting, muggings and car crime were
particularly high during the night, but calmed down when the hurricane
struck.
Forty-two asylum seekers were rescued from one apartment in Elmbank Street ,
rescuers are going to search the second bedroom later today.
Radio Clyde has reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Maryhill .
One resident, Bernadette O'Reilly, a 15 year old mother of 5 said "It
gied
me a pure fright so's it did.
My little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into ma bedroom greetin'.
My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Natasha-Jordan-Jade slept through it all.
Ah wiz still pure shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning, so ah
wiz".
Neighbour Joseph 'young young' McGurn said
"The noise wiz tremendous. At first ah thoat it wiz the young team coming
oot of The Bugle Bar, but it wiz even worser.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bon Accord
Pola Cola and two tons of Cheese Toasties to the area to help stricken
locals..
Rescue workers are still searching the rubble and have found quantities of
personal belongings including Benefit books and bone china from
Poundstretchers.
Residents in neighbouring Ruchill offered to accommodate those left
homeless, but the Maryhill people decided they were better off where they
were..
A Council spokesman has indicated that it would take take at least a full
morning to get things looking like normal and added "There has been a pure
Blitz spirit, everybody's been pure blitzed".
Poundstretcher has agreed to stay open 24 hours to allow residents to
refurbish their homes.
The Government has pledged to ensure that bookies, pubs, chip shops and
other essential services will reopen as soon as possible.
