Woke up about 3.30 to the sound of shattering glass, and this was the sight. Lots of big panes broken, and frame twisted. Glass all over the lawn (still finding small pieces).
I think our electricity was off for 4 - 5 days at least, the elec board put cables through our letterboxes in the end, connected to a generator.
Luckily our neighbour had camping equipment and kept camper van in our close boiling kettles etc.
All the roads in and out of Tilmanstone were blocked by fallen trees, but due to the efforts of local people with chain saws etc. cleared sufficiently for traffic to get through.
As it was October, Bob patched up the greenhouse with glass from Deal to stop the cold affecting the plants.
It was not until about 6 years ago we managed to get a new greenhouse.
