Hi Mike.
We’ve been recently hit by two storms in quick succession. The first, named Arwen, did some incredible damage across the country. An old friend of mine was without electricity for 3 days but there are some, in remote areas that have fared much worse.
I blame the lack maintenance since the supply industry was privatised 30 years ago. Many lines were running with rotten poles that simply snapped against the 90+ MPH winds.
I hope you have a decent wood burning stove for those lovely logs.
Cheers Graham.
We are just getting your storms here in Spain, causing a lot of snow and high winds. My tree was getting dangerous as the roots are shallow and it is very close to the house, it just had to be removed, just a lot of work at my age. No wood burning stove, but a christmas present for my neighbors I have oil fired heating but well-insulated house with double glazing and cavity wall insulation, works both ways cool in the summer and warm in the winter Regards Mike
