Both overhead power lines into Glossop were damaged which, before the machinery was installed, would have blacked out the whole of Glossop and the surrounding villages.
This time, apart from a few seconds while an alternative supply kicked in, there was no disruption. Power surged into Glossop again and normal services were restored.
