Hurricane Bawbag
Hurricane Bawbag was an intense extratropical cyclone, also known by the name Friedhelm,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Low Pressure Systems 2011 )〕 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, though a stronger storm occurred less than a month afterwards, on 3 January 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A major winter storm brought very strong winds across much of the UK on 3 January 2012 )〕
== Naming ==
The Free University of Berlin names low-pressure systems affecting Europe and gave the name ''Friedhelm'' to this storm.〔 In Scotland, the storm was dubbed ''Hurricane Bawbag'', the term ''bawbag'' being a Scots word for “scrotum”, which is also slang for an annoying or irritating person.
The name sparked a trending topic on Twitter, which became one of the top trending hashtags worldwide. Stirling Council also used the Twitter tag. Rob Gibson, the Convener of the Scottish Parliamentary Environment Committee, was the first politician to use the term on national television.
