wst - ohl power pole snapped [Storm Arwen]

wst - ohl power pole snapped [Storm Arwen]
Overhead Line damage. On one route over 100 poles were snapped or otherwise damaged enough to require replacement [which involved using the helicopter]. The snow didn't help.

Storm Arwen was over 25-27th November 2021.

[the strongest gust was 110 mph [96 knots ; 177 km/h in Settle, North Yorkshire] Much of the damage was because the winds were strong northerlies, an unusual direction for the UK, Westerlies are far more common.

We lost power and water supply ...

[But less than 24 hours, so not for as long as some people - someone I know was without power for the best part of a week, not only was their pole route damaged, but so was the transformer].
