Grelon storm caused havoc
Not only was there damage to property, gardens, cars, roofs and windows with the storm of the 5th but we are now hearing of many people being injured, some hospitalised. One man was knocked of his mobility scooter and had to crawl under a car to find shelter. He was taken to hospital and after care and a brain scan was allowed home. Many people suffered cuts and bruises just trying to get shutters closed..Although we thought we were fairly unscathed popping round to check the pool having renters in at the moment we have found 13 slats of the electric roll out pool cover broken [ why do renters not mention these things ! ] Also the caravan under cover but one side open to the elements has a very attractive dimpling. It was a bad one!
