Damage by Storm Eunice In the garden of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1273012">TR2043 : Winterdown Cottage</a>. The damage was caused by the branch of a crack willow being torn off and coming to rest an angle. The incidence may have occurred on Friday 18 February when, at noon, there was an especially violent gust, which caused a lack of power (for 50 hours) to this and other properties in the vicinity.
