I don't have a gas supply at all here, my boiler is oil-fired but from memory I have the same system of a cut-out to prevent overheating – no electricity, no heating.

Re: Ciara
Since when did they name storms? Whatever next - Shower Wendy? Drizzle Douglas?I was woken at 3am last night by the wind and rain on the roof and had 108mm of rain in 24 hours but the storm didn't have a name. This morning all the usual suspects were flooded, train lines blocked, schools shut and roads cut but things will get back to normal within the next few hours. Makes a change from bushfires.
(BTW a town nearby had 397mm in 24 hours.)

We lost a tree. It was a very old apple tree that produced inedible apples but it was riddled with mistletoe. The rest of the trees in the orchard survived but I guess the old tree had been weakened too much by the mistletoe and age yesterday afternoon was just the final straw.

After a scarily stormy night with banging noises I came down this morning to find a ridge tile off the roof embedded in the lawn
in missed my car by 2ft.I now have the hassle of finding a builder to repair the roof, not sure if it is worth calming on the insurance because of the excess.
