I saw on the news about how strong the winds were. Down here in the eastern UK it was pretty intense as well. Large trees were uprooted and hanging across the roads all over. Thankfully we didn't lose TV or Internet.

While I was away on vacation, there was a pretty severe storm here in Finland at christmas time. About 100.000 households was without power. The worst places hit, didn't get the power back until after new years!!!

Glad to live in the city.

Glad you're alright Shieldsy. Get yourself a backup generator, and a few different types of internet, BT, cable and 3G, jus incase future problems. Then TRF 24/7.
