  • There are widespread electricity cuts, so she might be cut off and not have internet on her phone.

    Just seen the pics on Beeb website - can't believe the one of the windmill on fire - scary stuff _pale_

    Please all stay inside now - it's too loud for me and I'm right down here in Hampshire. Can't imagine what it's like up there and we will all worry if you go outside!
