once at 10 oclock and again at 10:50 and i think 1 more is yet to come  :shock:  :shock:

a loud explosion echo's about 10 miles plus as the draklow (spelling) power stations cooling towers get blown down  :shock:

wish someone would have warned me  :x  :x

First 3 came down approx 10.10 watched those out of our bedroom window but gave up at 10.45 waiting for the other 3 towers to come down thinking they had hit another problem, then 5 mins later boom, the house shook and me swearing at them, (EDIT), i missed them  :evil:

Bit of a damp squib where we were. The first 3 came down in darkness and then it all went quiet. The jungle drums say a problem involving a water main but BBC derbyshire says rabbits had chewed a cable :D

A few dirty cars at work this morning but most say they slept through it or didn't hear a thing.
