Anyone else living with Storm Arwen roof damage?

Hello, on Friday 26th November Storm Arwen blew the flat roof off my three bed bungalow lounge/kitchen extension. Water started coming in immediately through the spotlights, I'd put buckets etc everywhere but it continued to rain and the water bought the ceiling plaster down a few days later, soaking the carpet and sofa. My surveyor helped me as a friend, he pulled off the rest of the very wet ceiling so I felt a bit safer, as well as helping me take the sofa/carpet outside. I was lucky enough to get someone to put up a temporary tarp on 1 December , but because of the 'hole' I've still got water leaking in, and no chance of a new roof until mid February/March. The insurance company did send a roofer on 9th December who couldn't make it watertight - as well as huge drying machine. I've just got to live with the water coming in, and it seems to be raining every single day.

I don't seem able to live normally with all this happening in there, I'm just camping in the front bedroom. I do know I'm lucky to have heating and electricity.

Anyone else wishing for better weather and hoping someone will come soon to do their repairs?
