Thanks for posting to my thread, Velvet.
The storm was bad. The whole country is in shambles. Three deaths. The Government handled it well and the Met Office gave warnings and support throughout the whole event. All schools, colleges etc were closed for two days. Buses not running so people stayed indoors which, I’m sure helped to save many lives . It will take time for services to be restored. The winds are dying down now. Power went at midday. Seemingly, it will take up to ten days to restore it fully. We are lucky . We were re connected at 6 0 clock.
I “bet” some casinos are open tonight but I won’t be there….thanks Velvet!
