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:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
