A significant number of homes in Cornwall are still grappling with power outages over a year after Storm Goretti. National Grid has reported that approximately one thousand properties remain without electricity, with the Helston area being the most affected. This situation follows severe weather that struck on Thursday evening, leaving many residents without essential services for several days.
Efforts to restore normalcy are ongoing. South West Water has confirmed that all remaining homes that were without water have now been successfully reconnected. However, the persistent power cuts continue to affect the community, highlighting the lasting impact of the storm.
In addition to the ongoing utility disruptions, the storm's aftermath has also led to school closures in Cornwall. Several educational institutions are still unable to open their doors, as the region works towards a full recovery from the severe weather event.
