Storm Causes Power Failure
Here is another example of an overhead electrical storm causing a power failure and disruption to operations. This time at Heriot-Watt University. Power Failure at Edinburgh Campus: Following the major power failure earlier today, caused by storm damage off campus, power has now been fully reinstated to the Edinburgh Campus. The Campus has been open as normal since Tuesday 11 October. However, there has been some disruption to the delivery of computing services and to the University website.
