There's praise today (Friday) for workers from the Manx Electricity Authority who had to deal with a number of problems during last night’s ferocious storm.
Repair crews were called out throughout the night to restore supplies to homes after trees fell onto power lines in howling winds.
Today it’s been revealed the winds peaked at 125mph on Snaefell, and averaged at 88mph.
MEA spokesman Adrian Dobbins says authority workers are prepared for the worst, and performed well under pressure last night:
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Police name victim of fatal road traffic collision in Onchan
Island gives new Director of Public Health a warm welcome
Sailings to go ahead as planned
