I have seen and been in winds worse than this.
Lucky you weren't further north in the red alert zone then.

Our house still has no power, which means it's almost certainly going to be well into tomorrow before it does.

Still, we've gone 48 hours without leccy before now and our super duper fridge and freezer both cope with it very well. Asda delivered our Christmas meats just before we abandoned the house so they are currently freezing down nicely at the in-laws' house ... Where we are all about to spend a second night in exile.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of emergency generator? This is happening to us rather too often. I need one with enough output to run the central heating stove (auger, fans and water pump), the fridge and freezer so we don't have to leave them shut for the duration, and ideally a little left over to run an iMac and a BT Homehub.
