No one else had all these gales?

there was bare destruction at Felixstowe, whole containers blown about, some brand new cranes from China come crashing down on the old ones..

I was hoping to go out somewhere, but I’ve now got to go to my office again tomorrow and restart all the servers/check stuff is still working

its in a small village and the ancient overhead power cables got trashed by this mornings gales (spent nearly an hour trying to get through to EDF to report this :yawn:) As I was leaving there was 3 EDF vans and a cherry picker but it will still take a fair few hours work to get the ‘leccy back on in that area…

what pisses me off is that the bit of the village where my office is still on 1940s poles and bare 230v/400v copper cables whilst everywhere else is underground or on ABC (insulated) overhead cable

I noticed the sagging cables months/years back and thought they were a failure point, even an EDF engineer I randomly spoke to in a pub said it was all the 1940s stuff..

I think the phases got short circuited at some point, I just hope all the surge protectors did their jobs (but tomorrow I have to check the lot and theres a fair few of them…:crazy_diz)

They forgot to lock it down as they usually do..

Can’t move the wings when they do

Thankfully nobody was hurt and it was the only mill they missed..
