storm Arwen

[andy Burgess]

did it affect anybody on site ? we have just got a temporary generator installed . had no electricity or heating since Friday. Scottish power hope to replace the power lines in the spring ! had 100 trees down over our lane , we and 5 neighbors  couldnt leave . so we removed a section of our fencing on 2 fields and made a temporary road out for all . crane to remove the trees and chainsaws on the go daily . all as  a result of the 105 mph winds ! the place is a darn mess , will be "tidying up" for months .

Minor damage to our back garden, so looks like we were very lucky.

having said that ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the power has been off again today for over 2 hours .

The wind catching the wires and causing them to short together, tripping the circuit.  Hopefully that is all it will be.  Sometimes they can switch it back on remotely, other times they need to reset a local transformer.
