HIGH-SPEED howling winds blew a wind turbine blade into the conservatory of a West Norfolk home on Thursday.
Torrential rain storms and gale-force winds caused havoc across the country, but in Walpole Cross Keys one couple were stunned when a five-foot blade from a wind turbine smashed into their conservatory.
"There was a tremendous crash and there is broken glass all over the place," said owner Robert Hamilton. He and his wife Linda were at their Holme Road home when nature did her worst and a fierce rain storm blew across the village – and took the wind turbine blade with it.
"It has caused a heck of a mess, it has smashed the doors to the conservatory and there's also broken garden furniture. It was a real shock," said Mr Hamilton.
n In Lynn a piece of flashing blew from the roof of Claire's Accessories in New Conduit Street, and was repaired in minutes by contractors from the Vancouver Centre owners.
