Absurd. Wind doesn't blow over underground cables.

Bad routing configuration or insufficient fallback capacity would be my guess. Neither coming as a surprise when it comes to VM.
Looks from various people's TBB graphs that many suffered massive latency and/or moderate packet loss but not a complete connectivity loss.

I've previously observed VM having a habit of bouncing traffic from the south and south-west of England up through Birmingham and/or Manchester en-route to London so it's no surprise you were affected.
