Hundreds of homes were temporarily without electricity after high winds from Storm Amy power created some disruption in the Burnham-On-Sea area on Saturday (October 4th). A yellow warning for high winds was in place for much of the day across the UK as the storm passed through. A further 17 homes in West Huntspill, plus eight homes in Watchfield and eight in Wick Road, Brean were also without power. The strong onshore winds created swirling sand on Burnham-On-Sea beach, with large amounts of dry sand being blown off the beach into gardens and adjacent streets. The Met Office said wind gusts were widely up to 45-55mph, occasionally up to 65mph in exposed areas.
