[Stronsaylimpet] High winds on Sunday night

[Limpet editor]

/From OIC on Facebook:/

Afternoon all - it's me again!
Orkney's Local Emergency Coordination Group has met this morning to 
discuss the aftermath of the recent snowfall - and the bad weather 
coming in again on Sunday night.
Heads up that an amber weather warning for winds of up to 85mph has been 
issued for Orkney for 21:00 on Sunday night to 09:00 on Monday morning
The winds are expected to be at their highest overnight, but folk 
locally are asked to ensure that they are prepared for this in the usual 
way - tying down or taking in trampolines or other structures in the 
garden, looking out for elderly or vulnerable friends and family and 
preparing for the potential for power cuts.
More information on preparing for power cuts is available at 
https://www.ssen.co.uk/power-cuts-emergencies/electricity-supply-emergency-code-esec 
and https://ready.scot/respond/loss-utilities.  If people come across 
damage to power lines they should contact 105 immediately.
