Four hundred miles south and the wind speed is increasing although unlikely to be as high as in Arran. The houses at this end of the road are fed by overhead power line so as soon as branches begin to fly, off goes the electricity. It'll probably go off in the middle of the night when I am wide awake and listening to the radio.
Just a couple of houses towards the centre of the town, the electricity supply is underground so their power rarely fails.
Anyway, what it all boils down to is that there's a conspicuous absence of burger vans.
