I wonder whether a better solution might be multiple strategically placed water bowsers, and people bringing buckets for water to use for washing, flushing occasionally etc. Bottled water for drinking (although if I was sure one of my buckets of water was properly clean before I filled it at the bowser, I would happily use the water in it for making )

News report on the Jersey tornado.
BBC drone footage of the aftermath.

FunnysInLaJardin ~ hope you're OK.

Tornado that hit Jersey during Storm Ciaran was 'strongest in almost 70 years'

Researchers said the wind vortex was likely the most powerful in the British Isles since a violent storm smashed through Gunnersbury, west London, in December 1954.

@Bowednotbroken and @GloriaSmud thank you for thinking of us.

We are fine, just rather shell shocked still.

Oddly enough rather pleased to find it was a powerful tornado as it somehow validates what we went through!

Glad you're fine!
