We are now standing down DG VOST social pages and the website for the latest incident. Thankfully, the region appeared to dodge a lot of the usual damage this time around. Thanks as always for the comments and shares, and enjoy Santa when he comes to you and yours 🎅

Whilst wind speeds are slowly dropping across the region, please be aware we're still in a Red warning, and there is a significant number of incidents still active. A lot of the trees that are blocking roads are not signed as staff haven't been able to access for inspection.
